Private Practice Opportunities for Specialists…
As a stable business growing across the world, Ramsay Health Care Australia is always looking for new Specialists to partner with us to establish their private practice.
There are a number of opportunities available across a wide range of specialties throughout Australia.
Private Practice… how does it work?
If you are looking to make your first step into private practice, here are the key things you need to know.
Specialists generate their own income by charging their patients a fee for their services – consulting or surgical work. Specialists are not employed by Ramsay Health Care, but are credentialed to admit their private patients to a Ramsay hospital/s.
In addition, Specialists are responsible for all costs associated with running their private practice, including staff costs.
To work private as a Specialist, you must meet the following minimum requirements:
- Fellowship from an Australian specialty college or recognition as a Specialist as determined by the Australian Medical Council (AMC);
- Credentialed/accredited to admit your private patients and/or undertake procedural work at the Ramsay hospital that interests you;
- Registration to practice as a Specialist with the Medical Board of Australia;
- Recognition as a Specialist with Medicare;
- A provider number that attracts Medicare benefits for location/s of practice;
- Appropriate indemnity insurance for the private work you will be undertaking.
