Starting a Group Private Practice with Colleagues

8 September 2023

Mahoneys’ Partner Antony Harrison recently joined other industry experts to discuss what legal, accounting, and operational requirements need to be considered when starting a group private practice with colleagues.

The webinar – organised by The Professional Medical Practice (PMP) and The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) – was well received with over 340 physicians registered to hear from Antony, Paul Copeland and Scott Montefiore (William Buck), Loryn Einstein (Medical Billing Experts), Chris Mariani (Medical & General Risk Solutions), and George Sotiris (Health Industry Employment Services).

Specifically, Antony covered some of the important legal issues that need to be considered – including:

  • structures for forming a group practice:
  • agreements needed for forming and running a group practice (including shareholder agreements and service agreements):
  • what to look for when buying into a group practice and the hidden risks (including payroll tax); and
  • strategies for managing common risks (including asset protection/estate planning) and common mistakes and how they can be avoided.

A copy of the webinar – titled “Starting a Group Private Practice with Colleagues” – can be found on RACP’s past event presentation page.

A big thank you to the RACP, Tracey Handley and Suzanne Stack (RACP) and Jordan Gardiner (PMP) for arranging this important event. Their efforts made the event a great success.
