Built for Psychology Practice Owners
Psychology practices operate across Medicare, NDIS, EAP, and private billing — a revenue mix that creates unique tax, structuring, and cash flow challenges that a generalist accountant simply isn’t equipped to handle.
The Challenges Your Practice Faces
Every discipline has its own commercial complexity. Here’s what we see most often — and how we address it.
Medicare & NDIS Billing Mix
Managing Better Access, NDIS, EAP, and private billing simultaneously creates complexity in reporting, GST, and cash flow management.
Contractor vs Employee
Psychology practices frequently use contractors. The ATO’s definition of employment is strict — we ensure your arrangements are compliant.
Sole Trader vs Practice Owner
Many psychologists move from sole trader to practice owner without restructuring. We ensure the transition is tax-effective and legally sound.
NDIS Registration
Psychologists are in high demand as NDIS providers. We guide you through registration, pricing, and compliance.
Practice Valuation
Psychology practices are highly valuable — if structured correctly. We build the financial systems that support a premium valuation.
Owner Burnout & Exit
Psychology practice owners often exit without a plan. We build your exit strategy from day one so you have options.
How We Work With You
The CARE Framework is Shuriken’s proprietary methodology for building allied health practices that are commercially strong, resilient, and exit-ready.
Clarity
Monthly reporting across all revenue streams — Medicare, NDIS, EAP, private — so you know exactly where your practice stands.
Accountability
Regular advisory meetings with an advisor who understands psychology practice economics. We track the metrics that drive profitability.
Risk & Resilience
Medicare audit readiness, NDIS compliance, contractor arrangements, and asset protection — we close the gaps before they cost you.
Enterprise Value
We build your practice as a sellable asset — systems, structure, and financial performance that commands a premium at exit.
