"We knew setting up a surgery would be challenging, so we engaged HPC from the onset. We developed a Business Plan‚ the framework and opportunity to assess viability. HPC looked after every stage of the project. We had full control but left the hard work to HPC as we could not cover all areas while working as full-time doctors."

"HPC took much of the stress out of setting up by providing a comprehensive assessment of our practice needs and what would be required to get a new specialist medical practice up and running. Any questions were always answered in a timely manner. Karen's experience in the industry and legal background made recruitment of staff seamless, from organizing the initial interview to drafting the contract. We also found their legal fees reasonable.

HPC Group helped to set up my new Dermatology Practice in Canberra from March to October 2008. HPC co ordinated the entire process – from site assessments, fitout, procuring of equipment, human resources, business insurance & leasing, logo design & advertising, IT, and liasing with medicare and HIC. I was able to specifically focus on medical and other matters unique to my practice. Karen and her team were very helpful and professional throughout the entire project.

We thank HPC for assistance in setting up our Ultrasound practice. They were very professional, well-organized and thorough in their approach. HPC certainly alleviated much of our anxiety in relation to complex issues of practice compliance and staffing. We highly recommend HPC to medical practitioners planning private practice.
