Key strategies and lessons learned in developing a resilient and scalable business model.
From 2013 to 2019, Elysium Psychology operated as a solo practitioner business. Recognising the need for growth and long-term sustainability, Katy Dib transitioned her practice into a group model and diversified referral streams. In this presentation Katy will discuss:
- Transitioning to a group practice: Navigating the challenges and opportunities of expansion and building a collaborative team
- Diversifying referral streams: Reducing Medicare dependence by incorporating funding pathways such as NDIS, WorkCover, TAC, VOCAT, WDP, Restore, MyAgedCare, private referrals, and school partnerships
- Creating a sustainable model: Aligning services with community needs, adopting flexible scheduling, and developing strong referrer relationships
- Lessons learned: Insights into overcoming industry obstacles, building resilience, and adapting to change.
Audience:
Ideal for solo practitioners, early-stage group practice owners, and health professionals looking to future-proof their business.
Outcomes:
Participants will walk away with practical tools to diversify referrals, scale operations, and strengthen referrer relationships. This presentation offers a transparent look into the journey from solo practice to thriving group model - with actionable insights to help others reimagine their own growth potential.
