01

Percentage-of-billings and flat-rate in one diary

Log VR bulk-billing (70 to 75% split), VR mixed and private (60 to 70%), non-VR (60 to 65%), and rural flat-day cover side by side. Percentage-of-billings shifts skip the invoice step because the clinic bills Medicare and pays you a net share. Flat-day agency and direct shifts generate their own invoice.

02

One Medicare provider number per site

Most locum GPs hold 5 to 15 provider numbers. Sessional tags every shift to the right site so your rebates, A1 and A2 items, after-hours billing, and workplace stats reconcile cleanly at year end.

03

VR status, 19AB, and fellowship tracked

FRACGP, FACRRM, VR status, 19AB and 19AA restrictions and end dates, prescriber number, and S8 authority all stored against your profile. Expiry reminders so your Medicare provider number does not lapse before you notice.

04

Rural loading and WIP Doctor Stream ready

MMM 1 to 7 classification against every workplace postcode. Rural placements flagged for MM3 to 5 loading (20 to 40%) and MM6 to 7 loading (40 to 80%) plus Workforce Incentive Program (WIP) Doctor Stream eligibility (formerly RBBI). RLAP placements, travel and accom reimbursements logged as distinct lines.

05

Super and PSI-aware tax planning

Contractor super sits on you, not the clinic. Sessional flags unpaid SG where an arrangement looks PAYG, tracks your voluntary concessional contributions against the $32,500 cap, and models GST, Medicare levy, and income tax across your full income (agency plus direct plus percentage-of-billings) so you know what to set aside.

State credentials, kept beside the work.

Secondary credentials move state by state. Working with Children: NSW, VIC, SA use WWCC; QLD issues the Blue Card; WA issues a WWC Card; TAS and ACT use WWVP; NT uses the Ochre Card. S8 prescribing authority is state-regulated (one state does not grant another). Medicare provider numbers are tied to each site you work at. Sessional stores the current state label against your profile so the prompts match your jurisdiction.
