Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about employment & hr

Do I need written contracts for all staff?

While not legally required for all employees, written contracts are strongly recommended. They clarify expectations, protect confidential information, and can include important provisions like restraint of trade clauses.

What award covers medical practice staff?

Most medical practice staff are covered by the Health Professionals and Support Services Award or the Nurses Award. Correct award classification is essential for compliance.

Can I use independent contractors instead of employees?

Potentially, but the arrangement must genuinely reflect an independent contractor relationship. Sham contracting carries significant penalties. We can advise on whether your proposed arrangement will be compliant.
