Fraud & Theft Prevention

Thursday 22 August 2024, 7:30pm AEST

7:00 pm SA, 5:30 pm WA

Speakers

Loryn Einstein – Medical Billing Experts

Gavin Andrews – Port Melbourne Medical  

 Fraud and theft is a risk for any business and GP Practices with large numbers of daily transactions are as vulnerable as any. The consequences for ruined lives, financial and reputational loss and the destruction of trust and teamwork are expensive and time consuming. There are typical causes and symptoms that can be identified and business practices that can be adopted to reduce risk.

The speakers have extensive experience in fraud prevention and investigation.

This is a rare opportunity to become better informed on the typical vulnerabilities of GP Practices and the business processes and practices that can be adopted to prevent fraud and protect your Practice.

Payroll Tax – Another View

Speakers

Paul Copeland, Director, William Buck

Ben Ryan, Senior Associate, Avant Law

State Payroll Tax is threatening to become a major threat to the viability of General Practices in many Australian States.

Victoria, NSW, Queensland and South Australia are all applying precedents which allow them to charge payroll tax on medical professional fees paid to independent GPs under conventional General Practice structures.

Queensland and South Australia have both announced a moratoriums on the application of payroll tax rulings but the outcome at the end of the moratoriums will apparently require PRT to be paid.

Practices are faced with either charging patient levies to cover the tax (with issues for bulk billing), or restructuring so that the tax provisions do not apply. The risks with restructuring are significant with potential changes to financial management practice and to the relationships within the Practice.

The speakers will discuss approaches which reduce PRT exposure risk while maintaining key functionality.

Making the New CPD System Work

Presented by: AGPA

Speaker: Dr Bernard Shiu

Commencing 1 January 2023 the MBA has introduced a new CPD – system. GPs need to:

• • • • • Have a CPD Home
        • Complete a Professional Development Plan (PDP) every year
        • Complete 50 hours of CPD annually

The format will be a discussion session with AGPA Director Dr Bernard Shiu explaining the new CPD system, the new changes and requirements.

We will discuss:

• • • • • How to make it work for you as owners and how to make it work for your Practice
        • How to create Templates and content all in an easy step- by- step approach
        • Using the Apps to make a quick log

All attendees using the RACGP CPD home will get 1 Hour of CPD – Just provide your RACGP number when you register.

The intention is that you will be able to ask the questions, contribute your own experience and by the end of the session you will know how to make the CPD system work for you and your Practice.

Remember: cameras on and questions ready!
