The risk and reward on hiring someone has moved, and it has not moved in the owner's favour. In this episode Angus Haack and I go through why, what the October award restructure does to the numbers, and what both sides of the desk should be doing about it before the decision gets made for them.

We cover:

- Why the risk and reward on hiring an associate has moved, and who it has moved against

- The 1 October restructure of the Health and Support Services Act, and what indexation does to a wage bill

- What an associate actually leaves you once wages, super, work cover and staff costs come out

- Award rates, what full time genuinely pays, and why the number surprises both sides of the desk

- Setting the model before you hire, instead of hiring and letting the model reveal itself

- Why half the contracts in this country are not worth the paper they are printed on

- Facilities leases, contractor agreements, and the two contracts the profession is heading toward

- Buying out a base, what it is worth, and how that conversation goes wrong

- My own associate years, the agreed patient visit average, and the renegotiation that changed everything

- Restructuring, redundancy and insolvency, and why the call is worth making before you need to

About Nathan Bridger

Nathan graduated in 2013 and has coached and supported over 100 chiropractors since, one on one and in groups. He built a full diary, got hollowed out holding it together, and rebuilt the model from scratch. On his own show he gets specific: running a new patient from the first phone call to the report of findings, building a diary that holds, care plans that make sense to the patient, what your numbers are already telling you, and what it actually costs to open or to hire. Frameworks, not scripts, and no pretending he got it right the first time. For chiropractors who want to do it their own way, from final year to their own practice.
