- Write a simple budget covering rent, fit-out, insurance and your first months of running costs, then set up an ABN and business bank account
Who pays
Local clients seeking ongoing complementary care, plus people who come for treatment programs or packages.
How it makes money
Fees per consultation and treatment, package or program fees, and room hire to visiting practitioners if you have spare capacity.
Skills that help
- Recognised Ayurvedic training and qualifications
- Running a small business and managing a budget
- Marketing a local service and building a reputation
- Managing and supporting staff or contractors
Watch out for
- Ayurvedic practitioners are generally not registered under AHPRA, so check what your state or territory, insurer and professional association require of you and of anyone you engage
- Check your state's rules and complaints body for unregistered health practitioners, as some states have a code of conduct
- Check council zoning and approvals for a health clinic, and any rules on signage and accessibility
- Advertising must not make misleading health claims. Check the rules on advertising health services and therapeutic goods, especially if you sell herbal products
- If you hire staff, you will need workers compensation insurance and to follow employment rules. Check whether contractors are genuinely independent
- A lease is a long commitment, so get advice before signing and plan for a slow first few months
