Onboard your staff

Your practice may have different onboarding processes when you get new staff. You may want to onboard them with an orientation. You can find information and an orientation checklist on the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners website.

Start with Medicare

When new staff join there are a few things they may need to apply for to get started in your organisation.

Recruit overseas doctors

There are restrictions and exemptions you need to know when onboarding overseas trained doctors and foreign graduates. This applies to new staff who got their medical qualification outside Australia or New Zealand, or who weren’t citizens when they enrolled in medical school.

Delegations

You can nominate someone to do tasks on your behalf in Health Professional Online Services (HPOS). When you do this, that person becomes your delegate.
