Map every service to its regulator, funding system and premises requirements. Check Ahpra practitioner registrations, state facility licences, accreditation, Medicare or PBS approvals, radiation and medicines authorities, and whether ownership changes require notification or a fresh application.

Check each regulated practitioner on Ahpra’s live register, including profession, registration status, conditions and undertakings. Confirm key clinicians will remain, their contracts are enforceable, and the clinic has enough registered staff to deliver every advertised service.

Do not assume they will. Identify every provider number, practice registration, funding agreement and insurer arrangement, then obtain written confirmation of change-of-ownership steps. Pharmacy, hospital and other regulated services can require specific approvals before claims continue.

Use de-identified or aggregated information wherever possible and restrict access through the confidentiality agreement and data room. Confirm record ownership, retention, secure transfer, patient notifications and breach history before accepting custody of identifiable health information.

Examine accreditation, audits, incidents, complaints, infection controls, sterilisation, medicines management, recalls and corrective actions. Review professional-indemnity notifications and regulator correspondence, then test whether current staff follow the documented procedures in daily practice.

Reconcile appointments, billings and receipts across Medicare, private insurers and direct payments. Analyse practitioner splits, cancellations, rejected claims, consumables and room utilisation, then adjust for owner consultations, unpaid administration and clinicians unlikely to remain.
