Maybe you have made changes to your employment contract templates over time and don't know if you've "messed with them" too much. 

It wouldn't be the first time I've met with a client who hadn't adjusted their pay rates (including travel allowance rates) after the annual minimum wage increase or hadn't reviewed their pay levels (which for Health Professionals increases each year) which meant they were underpaying some employees

I've come across clients who didn't know if their salaries were high enough anymore, because their employees were working different shifts that had higher penalty rates than when they were hired. 

Or employers that were paying part time employees for additional hours at ordinary rates - but didn't have a clause in their contract to cover this which meant they should have been paying overtime. 

Perhaps you have had issues enforcing standards such as personal presentation and uniforms, phone usage at work or employee conduct because you didn't have any procedures or a clause in your contracts to fall back on...

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I choose you instead of an employment lawyer or general HR Consultant?

I am highly knowledgeable and experienced in HR; combine that with practical experience running a massage clinic and I bring in depth practical knowledge of the industry to the advice I provide.

I offer legally crafted employment contracts and by focussing exclusively on professions in the allied health domain I can offer competitive pricing by not having to spend (and bill) hours of time to craft custom contracts to suit your situation like a lawyer would do.

Q: Will I get to work with you directly?

I may have support staff helping in the background, but I am the Principal HR Consultant and you’ll be working with me directly!

Q: Can I send you questions via email?

Absolutely! If its a quick question or relates to pay rates for a new therapist and you are buying an Employment Contract, I will generally respond free of charge. If it requires more consideration to respond, I'll advise you if there will be a charge for the advice or if you need to book a 1:1 call.

Q: I need urgent help and can't find an appointment?

If you ever require urgent support, such as you need immediate advice on an employee performance issue or potential termination, you can phone me directly on 0459 511 677 – if I’m unable to answer I’ll call you back as soon as practical. If you don't need to call immediately but can't find a suitable time, please send an email with some times that suit you and we'll see if we will schedule a suitable time. 

Q: How are your fees calculated?

I have set fees for employment contracts and 1:1 consults based on time. If you require further assistance such as follow up documentation, calculations, assistance to prepare for Fair Work hearings or other projects I will provide an estimate and ongoing updates - please refer to our Terms & Conditions

I don’t just talk to you about boring HR stuff that you can read online… I offer straight forward advice in language you can understand, with a strategic focus based on a specific understanding of the types of challenges you face in private allied health practices – regardless of whether you are a Remedial Massage Therapist, Physiotherapist, Chiropractor, Osteopath, Naturopath, Dietician or other Complimentary Allied Health Professional. 

On top of my experience with all things related to running a small business in this industry; I also have 13 years’ experience in HR, a Bachelor of Business majoring in Human Resource Management & a Graduate Certificate in Industrial Relations. 

I’m not just a HR specialist; I was also the co-owner of Remedial Massage Clinic with multiple therapists & administration staff for 4+ years – so I get it & understand how HR applies specifically to you!
