Dr Annelies Geissler joined Robina Town Medical Centre and EZT Medical Centre as a contractor GP in 2008.

Sixteen years later, she's one of five equal Owners running both Gold Coast Practices, with around 25 GPs across the group.

Five Owners brings more experience and more capacity, but it also means more strong opinions in the room. Annelies breaks down how they choose the right people for ownership, split responsibility across two sites, and keep things moving when agreement doesn't come easily.

• How five equal Owners divide roles without losing shared accountability
• Why separate communication channels matter when you're running two Practices
• How treating decisions as experiments helps strong personalities move forward without endless debate
• Why they changed their fee structure to better recognise longer and more complex consults
