Helping medical doctors become surgical assistants in the private sector
For medical doctors hoping to work as surgical assistants, accreditations need to be obtained from every relevant hospital in your practice area before you can start work. So, when you need an expert, easy and streamlined surgical assistant registration service, trust POAB Assisting Group.
What you’ll need to become a practising surgical assistant
Medicare registration
When it comes to Medicare, minimal forms are completed online. You’ll need to print out all the necessary paperwork, sign it and then submit it with the appropriate information, including bank account details and provider numbers (which are different for every hospital you’ll be working at).
Health fund registration
Whether online or through downloaded paperwork, you’ll need to collect all provider numbers plus your EFT details and submit them to each health fund. Without this critical step, you won’t receive payment for your work.
Perth private hospital accreditation
Did you know surgical assistants cannot work in surgery if they aren’t correctly accredited with their hospital? Each hospital has its own department and a different accreditation process, and you’ll need to apply to each one individually (and they only last from 3 to 5 years).
These registration processes can be time-consuming, lengthy and complex, and many applicants make errors, leading to more costly delays. Plus, many of the processes can change without warning. POAB Assisting Group removes this problem and manages the entire process for you end-to-end.
