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 clinic; I have worked with over 200 clients in allied health and have 14 years’ experience in HR, a Bachelor of Business majoring in HR Management & a Graduate Certificate in Industrial Relations.
Q: How soon will I be given access to watch the Masterclass?
You'll be instantly receive an email link to watch the Masterclass.
Q: What happens if things change?
In the Masterclass I provide some example wages and costings. The Award rates increase every year in July so I update my pay rate guides and send out an email update to all of my clients.
Q: Can I just book a 1:1 call instead of watching the Masterclass?
I have very limited availability for 1:1 calls and try to keep them available for complicated issues that clients need help with. This Masterclass answers almost all questions for almost every client.
Q: What if I do still have questions after the Masterclass?
I recommend you buy a 15 minute Q&A block - this saves us finding a time in our diaries that matches up and enables you to send me your questions, and me the answers, via voice messages (which you can keep).
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 a New Starter Pack, which includes 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'm not sure if my employee/s are covered by the Health Award, should I watch the Masterclass?
In short - no, as the Masterclass is specifically tailored to the rates and penalties that apply to that Award. Please click here to see if I can help you and how we can work together.
I’m a WA System Employer, should I watch the Masterclass?
No, the Masterclass is specifically tailored to the rates and penalties that apply to the Health Professionals and Support Services Award and the Fair Work Act – which doesn’t apply to you. Please book in a 1:1 Consult.
