Our Story

Founded in Perth by Heide and Kirsty, First Point Recruitment was built from a passion for helping dental professionals and practices succeed together.

With decades of combined experience across healthcare and recruitment, they created a WA-owned agency focused on honesty, care and quality.

What began with temporary dental staffing has grown to support practices and professionals across temporary, locum and permanent recruitment.

From small family practices to large multi-chair clinics, we provide practical recruitment support tailored to each team.
