Dental technician working for a dental laboratory
Award coverage for a dental technician working in a dental laboratory depends on the industry of their employer.
The Health Services Award covers a dental technician if their employer is in the health industry, which includes the delivery of dental services.
If a dental technician isn’t covered by the Health Services Award, the Manufacturing Award can cover them if their employer is in the manufacturing industry.
