The business of osteopathy

There is much to consider before starting a new venture. Formulating a business plan for yourself as an independent contractor is in your interest, even if you do not intend to open your own business. Specialised assistance will come from various sources such as Osteopathy Australia, our HR Resources Library and HR Hotline, your colleagues, accountants and solicitors. The first consideration is where you wish to work. There are a range of possibilities such as working from home, renting a room – perhaps sharing expenses with others, leasing premises or even purchasing an existing practice. This all depends on your personal circumstances, and it is important to understand the drawbacks and advantages of the various options.
