About this Webinar

What happens when a practitioner is unable to continue to work? This webinar looks at a range of considerations that practitioners might want to consider in terms of planning for circumstances when the practitioner is unable to work. It's critically important that practitioners have their legal arrangements in order so they can facilitate a seamless handover in the event of a significant contingency event. 

This training includes consideration of:

• Why implement a Practice Contingency Plan (PCP)?
• AHPRA Code of Conduct 2025 requirements
  • Continuity of Services
• Associated Considerations
  • Business Succession
  • Structuring for Succession
  • Business Succession plans
  • Estate Planning
  • Powers of Attorney (and Health Directions)
• Practice Contingency Planning
  • What is the Trigger?
  • Who executes a PCP?
  • Who is a suitable Nominee?
  • Privacy and Confidentiality considerations.
  • What is the Legal Status of a PCP?
  • Specific Considerations
  • Complex structures

This is an introductory lesson to some of the concepts that ought to be considered by practitioners. This will be particularly useful to sole practitioners or very small practices that are considering these issues for the first time.
