DATES & DEADLINESNEXT: MAR 17–18
The written exam runs twice a year. You apply months ahead — the initial assessment, not the exam, is the deadline that catches people.
Next sitting: 17–18 Mar 2027
Targeting 17–18 March 2027? Submit your complete initial-assessment application by 11 October 2026. Written-exam applications run 8–15 December 2026. ADC-CONFIRMED DATES
A March sitting gives you roughly six months. Runways rarely fail for lack of time — they fail on months of reading with no daily applied practice, the pattern the 12% pass rate keeps exposing. Remy exists to make the runway count: explore selected chapters in your 48-hour trial →

GUIDELINES & SOURCESCHECK EDITIONS
The exam is written from prescribed Australian sources — chiefly Therapeutic Guidelines, the AMH, and Odell. When the sources update, the exam updates.
ADC resource list: TG Version 4 (2025)
Notes and question banks built on older TG editions can carry answers that no longer match current guidance.
Reviz's answer to source drift is citation: every one of 7,000+ questions traces its answer to book, edition, and chapter — so nothing you practise is unverifiable, and when a source moves, we know exactly which questions it touches.

Your situation won't match a panel. Ask it anyway.
Ask Remy about the ADC process — eligibility, documents, timelines, fees, whatever your starting point is. Answers come from the verified pages above, with the source shown. When you're done, Remy sends the whole conversation to your WhatsApp as a PDF.
Clinical questions? That's the real Remy — a cited clinical question every morning on WhatsApp, available through the 48-hour trial and paid plans.
I finished BDS in India in 2019, working in a clinic since. Honestly I only just heard Australia is even possible. Where do I start?
First check which registration pathway applies to your qualification. For the ADC assessment route, prepare your identity and qualification documents using the current initial-assessment checklist. The ADC decides eligibility; a degree title alone does not confirm it.SOURCE: ADC INITIAL ASSESSMENT · CHECKED SEP 2026
