Medical Practitioners providing services at either public or private hospitals and health facilities on a ‘fee-for-service’ basis, are variously termed Visiting Medical Practitioners, Visiting Medical Officers or Contracted Medical Practitioners.
This is often facilitated under a service agreement, which is distinct from a contract of employment. Service agreements are independently negotiated by the practitioner and the health service provider.
Please contact the Australian Medical Association (WA) Workplace Relations Team to access limited advice and guidance in relation to medical service agreements.
