Why join Maven Dental Maroochydore?

We've been looking after Sunshine Coast families from our Plaza Parade practice for more than 20 years, so our patient base is loyal and largely local. Our team is small enough that you'll know everyone and experienced enough that there's plenty to learn from.

• A central Maroochydore location, a short walk from the Plaza precinct with cafés and shops nearby
• Free onsite parking, so no hunting for a spot before your shift
• An established patient base built over two decades on the Coast
• Access to industry-leading training, mentorship and upskilling through the Abano Healthcare network
• Recognition, wellbeing support and a genuine people-first culture
• The backing of a national network with the feel of a local practice
