Welcome to our first Australian Practice Management newsletter

We’ve launched this newsletter to recognise the fundamental role of practice management teams in keeping clinics, in all their complex diversity, in business.

Chronic workforce shortages, coupled with threats to financial viability, have created enormous pressures — even if the day-to-day challenges they face could be ignored.

Each edition will bring news and analysis on the issues shaping your world  — from Medicare funding and accreditation to workforce planning, industrial relations, cybersecurity, digital health and medicolegal risk.

AusDoc exists to reflect the voices and experiences of the people we write about, and that applies to practice management staff as it does to doctors and nurses.

We recognise that the challenges of running a practice are rarely visible from the outside; we hope this newsletter helps to change that.

Welcome.
