In this episode of the Practiceology™ Podcast, I spoke to with Trystan Conway to discuss the real-world challenges and strategies for allied health businesses dealing with ongoing reforms in the NDIS and aged care sectors.

Here are my top three takeaways for anyone in allied health or government-funded service delivery:

🔹 Proactive beats reactive
Too many practices put their head in the sand when it comes to regulatory changes. Instead, model out worst-case scenarios and have a plan—hoping things will sort themselves out is not a strategy.

🔹 Focus on what you can control
Government funding changes and reforms are highly emotive and often outside your control. Stay grounded by focusing on what you can influence: your business structure, your value proposition, and your internal processes.

🔹 Diversification is key
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Having all your revenue tied to a single funding stream (like NDIS paediatrics) is risky. Explore ways to diversify your services or client base to better weather any future upheaval.

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast featuring Owen Campbell, co-founder of Physio Growth.

If you’re in the allied health or physical therapy space and looking to scale your clinic, this is a must-listen!

Here are my top 3 takeaways from the conversation:

🔹Seek Community, Not Isolation: Many practice owners feel alone and lack a space to share ideas and get guidance. Owen and his co-founder Brian’s affordable Q&A calls and online community directly address this, offering support and collective wisdom.

🔹Plan Ahead, Don’t Just React: Owen highlights that the most common mistake is reactionary growth—taking on urgent hires or new insurances without considering long-term strategy. Thinking two steps ahead is key to sustainable growth.

🔹Network for the Long Game: Whether you’re insurance-based or cash-based, plugging into referral-focused networking groups like BNI can be a game-changer for building relationships and growing your patient base. Even owners with multiple clinics find value in these connections!

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast featuring Ben Corso where we discussed with real-world strategies for business owners navigating succession and sale.

Here are my three key takeaways:

🔹Start Your Exit Planning Early: Don’t wait until you’re ready to leave—begin preparing 5-10 years ahead to maximize value and reduce last-minute stress.

🔹Know What Drives Value: It’s not just about stable revenue. Review your systems, team structure, financials, and look for ways to delegate your own responsibilities so the business isn’t dependent on you.

🔹Benchmark and Seek Expert Guidance: Don’t go it alone—have your business assessed against industry best practices and make improvements proactively.

Ben offers a free 30-minute call and a comprehensive business health check questionnaire to help allied health business owners get started.
