We hope to encourage you all to share the experiences and challenges unique to women in dentistry, whilst celebrating the strengths we bring to the profession and encouraging positive change within the profession and wider community.

We launched this group with our inaugural event on Friday 4th December 2020 at Five Knots at Tamaki Yacht Club in Auckland- “Ladies that lunch and learn” and it was a great success with all those that attended having a fantastic time. However, our aim is to be much more than a single annual event. With your help we will grow to incorporate online forums for daily support and advice, local coffee style catch up groups and ultimately provide an environment and pathway for young female dental students and graduates to transition into their chosen career, alongside the support of their learned colleagues.

Our vision is to provide a network for the challenging role of females within our profession who are often trying to balance their identity as not only a dental professional but as a business owner, mother, partner and individual.

We look forward to having you on this journey with us.

Women in Dentistry Co-founder,
Dr Rebecca Ellis
