Consultation

Kids Physio Group recognizes that our unique team and diverse experience have positioned us well to support other clinic owners in achieving clinical, operational, and cultural excellence. Both our CEO, Laura Patrick, and Director of Growth & Operations, Carly Waring are passionate about the direction of the allied health profession, and have firmly established themselves as industry leaders who can provide valuable insights and education to other professionals.

We are exploring opportunities to prioritize offering both coaching and consultation to those who feel alignment with what we’re doing, but are not paediatric physiotherapists looking to open a Kids Physio Group franchise location.

Do you need support transitioning your contractors to employees?

Kids Physio transitioned their physiotherapists from independent contractors to employees in 2018, and have successfully hired and grown under this model. In the years since we have supported other clinics in doing the same and they have had the same success.

Are you interested in doing the same? Get in touch! We offer consultation services and have documents and systems to help smooth the transition.
