“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 employee wellbeing 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.

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”.

Dr Anna Samidurai is a Practice Director in the Sunshine Coast.

"We are an established practice that recently faced HR and systemic challenges with the potential to impact us significantly. As a small business, we needed to manage these sensitive matters with care, ensuring confidentiality, fairness and respect for all parties.

The AMA Queensland team proved to be a reliable source of support, responding promptly to our needs. In particular, Julianne Manzie and Elaine Hourston provided valuable HR guidance and actively assisted with onboarding new employees, drafting contracts, and ensuring a smooth transition.

Dr Kurinji Kannan and the management team sincerely appreciate the assistance provided by AMA Queensland’s Workplace Relations Team."
