PM Peer Connect - Growing and Keeping Great Practice Teams

Join us at our Practice Manager Peer Connect meetings - a new opportunity for practice managers to connect, share, and grow together. Whether you’re new to the role or a seasoned leader, work in general practice or at an allied health practice, these sessions are designed to support and inspire. All practice managers are welcome to attend all meetings.

In this session, we’ll dive into practical strategies for building a positive, high-performing workplace culture that helps retain great people. Stephanie from Private Practice Medical Consulting will discuss ways to nurture team engagement, create supportive work environments, and reinforce the values that make your practice a place staff want to stay and grow. We are also delighted to welcome MedicFirst Clinic to demonstrate how their focus on team culture and community engagement is driving business success at their practice in Point Cook.
