Why health practices need it

A dental, medical or allied health practice answers to more regulators than most small businesses. Advertising, X-ray equipment, Medicare billing, medicines and patient records each have their own rules. One missed item can mean a complaint, an audit or a licence problem.

Advertising rules

Websites, social media and reviews must follow AHPRA advertising rules. We check what your practice publishes.

Licences and registrations

X-ray licences, staff registration and medicines storage, checked against what your regulator requires.

Billing and records

Medicare billing and patient records are common audit areas. We check your processes before an audit does.

Health membership: questions

Do you deal with complaints about practitioners?

No. The membership covers the business side of your practice: its obligations to government and regulators. Complaints about an individual practitioner's clinical conduct are outside it.

My practice is outside NSW. Can I join?

Get in touch. Radiation licensing and some other rules differ by state or territory, and we will tell you what we can cover.

Is this a legal service?

The membership is Business Compliance Advisory: checking your obligations to government and regulators. If you need legal work on a specific matter, we quote it separately at your member discount.

Do unused hours roll over?

Quarterly hours do not roll over to the next quarter. Annual hours can be used any time during your membership year.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancelling stops your next payment. The current period you have paid for is not refunded. Annual members who have not had their compliance check, used hours or taken discounted work can get a refund for quarters not yet started.

Is this the right plan for my business?

Health covers dental, medical and allied health practices. Run a food or retail business? See the Retail & Food membership.

My business is larger. Can I still join?

Plans are for small businesses with turnover up to $5 million and up to 2 locations. For larger businesses we prepare a custom quote.
