Industry Expertise / Medical Businesses
Building a medical practice that sells as well as it runs.
Corporatisation, payroll tax reform and workforce scarcity are reshaping what your practice is worth. Whether you are three years from an exit or testing the market now, structure and retention decide the outcome.
The market right now
A consolidating sector, revalued in real time.
Australian medical ownership is shifting from independent principals to corporate groups, aggregators and PE-backed roll-ups across GP, dental and allied health. Buyers remain active but more disciplined, and the new ACCC merger regime adds scrutiny to serial acquisitions. State payroll tax rulings on contractor doctors, a tighter workforce and recent bulk-billing changes have made structure and doctor retention central to value.
Two conversations we have every week.
Most medical owners we speak with sit in one of two positions. Both benefit from planning early — long before a buyer’s approach.
You’re building toward a future sale.
For owners three to five years out, the work is structural: resolving contractor arrangements and payroll tax exposure, deepening doctor retention, diversifying revenue, and separating property from operations. Clean, well-governed practices command stronger multiples and survive due diligence.
Plan your growth & exit →You’re ready to test the market.
We run a discreet, competitive process — positioning the practice, identifying corporate, aggregator and PE buyers, and negotiating structure, earn-outs and retention terms so value is protected from the first approach to completion.

Real value is earned in the detail. These are the factors buyers scrutinise — and the ones we help you strengthen before you go to market.
Doctor retention
Value follows the practitioners who stay; retention terms and earn-outs often decide the price.
Revenue mix
Private billing and gap fees signal pricing power; recurring NDIS and aged-care income is prized.
Payroll tax position
A resolved, defensible contractor structure removes a material due-diligence risk.
Patient base
A loyal, recurring patient or client base underpins predictable, transferable revenue.
Property vs operations
Separating real estate from the operating business widens buyer appeal and options.
Systems & compliance
Accreditation, clinical governance and clean records mark a practice built to transition.
“The practice that is well structured and retains its doctors is the one that sells well.”
