While the Australian dental laboratory industry continues to be hard hit by lab work being sent offshore, local laboratories continue to employ numerous overseas dental technicians on temporary visas.


According to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, as of May 31, 2013, there were 178 overseas dental technicians in Australia on Temporary Work (Skilled) (Subclass 457) visas. Of these, 76 were located in Victoria, followed by 60 in New South Wales, 20 in Queensland, 15 in Western Australia and the remaining 7 in other locations.
