In episode 44, Gerda delivers a timely and practical crash course on the new contractor arrangements every allied health group practice owner needs to understand. With legislative changes and ATO crackdowns reshaping the way practices can engage independent contractors, Gerda breaks down what’s out, what’s in, and how to protect your business from costly compliance mistakes.

Drawing on her own hard-won experience (and months of legal consultation), Gerda shares the five biggest shifts in contractor managements, common pitfalls to avoid, and actionable steps to keep your practice compliant, without losing your sanity. Whether you’re considering a hybrid model or just want to ensure your current arrangements are watertight, this episode is your essential guide.

In this Episode, you will learn (among others):

• Why percentage splits are out and how fixed-rate contracting benefits both your practice and your contractors.
• The crucial updates to 'contract for results', superannuation, and what actually defines a true contractor relationship.
• How to spot red flags in your agreements, avoid treating contractors like employees, and implement changes with confidence and clarity.

Who This Episode Is For:

• Allied health group practice owners who currently engage or are considering engaging independent contractors.
• Practice leaders who want to stay ahead of legislative changes and avoid ATO risks.
• Anyone seeking a practical, step-by-step approach to building a compliant, sustainable, and flexible business model.
