Together Healthengine and the Australian Patients Association surveyed over 9,000 Australians to understand their perspectives on healthcare, evolving needs, and the impact of economic factors and government schemes.

The 6th Australian Healthcare Index reveals a concerning pattern of delayed GP and dental visits, people going without needed medication as cost of living pressures bite and wait times continuing to expand. There are some great strengths in there too.

💡 Key insights for GP Practice Owners considering Online Medical Certificates

We've crunched the numbers for you and they're pretty compelling 👇here's how we did it:

😷 Say you get 312 medical certificate requests per year (6 per week)
📱 Offer Online Medical Certificates and you could achieve up to $209 increased revenue per week¹

That's equivalent to $10,848 per year📈

Like those numbers? You'll love these:

👩‍⚕️ Save practitioners up to 90 minutes per week for in-person appointments²
⏰ Save your front desk staff 2+ hours of front desk admin monthly³

All by offering existing patients the convenience of requesting online medical certificates, from the comfort of their homes 😍

You can easily swap these numbers with your practice metrics to test the ROI for your practice.

Love more practice revenue?

➡ ➡ ➡ Visit our Online Medical Certificates page here and see how you can unlock earnings and meet patient demand for convenient care.

¹ Calculated based on an average revenue of $90 per standard appointment and an average revenue of $35 per online medical certificate.

² Calculated based on 6 standard appointments of 15 minutes each.

³ Calculated based on an average of 5 minutes of admin work per medical certificate.

Remember, the statistics provided are based on assumptions and Healthengine internal data, are for illustration purposes only and actual outcomes may vary depending on practice size, location, and other factors. Each GP practice should obtain its own independent legal, financial, and taxation advice in connection with a decision to offer online medical certificates.
