Hear it from those who’ve been in your shoes
Through the transition phase we were challenged by one employee member and Julianne was a steadfast source of knowledge and guided us through some unfortunate circumstances so we could be confident and assured we had met our HR obligations. Since purchasing the practice, my husband and I repeatedly say that onboarding the AMA Queensland Workplace Relations Team was the best money we have spent to date.
We look forward to learning more from Julianne and Elaine and will continue to recommend them to our colleagues.”
“Onboarding the AMA Queensland Workplace Relations Team was the best money we have spent to date”
~Dr Anna Samidurai is a Practice Director in the Sunshine Coast.
“As new practice owners, purchasing an existing business, my husband and I were in uncharted waters when inheriting an established employee team from the previous owners. We were unsure of our HR obligations to the employees and to ourselves. As we have said many times, medical school does not prepare you to run your own business.
From the first meeting, Julianne and Elaine were very amenable and prompt in assisting us to create new employment contracts for employees and assisted us to navigate the employee well being through the transition phase. Both Julianne and Elaine were wonderful to work with as they were approachable, timely and attentive to our questions and needs.
