Over 730 Royal Australasian College of Physicians members recently registered to hear Mahoneys’ Partner Antony Harrison; Paul Copeland, Arash Zamansani (William Buck); Chris Mariani (Medical and General Risk Solutions); Dr Patrick Coleman; and Lana Wallish (Avant Practice Solutions) discuss strategies for optimising a physician’s financial affairs when transitioning into Private Practice.
The webinar, organised by The Professional Medical Practice (PMP) and The Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP), is part of an ongoing Financial Wellbeing Series focused on providing investment, accounting, legal, and banking strategies specifically designed to meet the needs of medical professionals.
Specifically, Antony covered some of the important legal issues that need to be addressed – including:
- agreements a physician may be asked to sign and the risks they pose;
- how asset protection strategies can be used to protect personal assets from business risks; and
- the interplay between asset protection and estate planning (ie Wills).
A copy of the webinar – titled “Welcome to Private Practice“, dated 30 August 2025 – can be found on the RACP’s past even presentations page.
A big thank you to the RACP and PMP for arranging this important webinar. A special thank you to Tracey Handley, Hannah Parker and Suzanne Stack (RACP) for their efforts in making the webinar a great success.
