    Interprofessional Practice Series | A/Prof Peter Subramaniam – AMA (SA) President – Australia’s Healthcare Opportunities

    Australia’s healthcare system won’t become sustainable by expanding hospitals alone. A/Prof Peter Subramaniam argues the biggest gains will come from investing earlier in prevention, primary care and genuinely coordinated, evidence-based team care.  A/Prof Subramaniam is a vascular surgeon, President of the Australian Medical Association (SA), and a passionate advocate for improving healthcare through collaboration across professions. Drawing on experience as both a surgeon and health policy leader, he offers a unique perspective on the challenges facing Australia’s healthcare system.  A/Prof Subramaniam explains why healthcare reform must be driven by data rather than ideology, why prevention deserves greater funding, and how better evaluation can avoid costly policy failures. He also explores the importance of trust, transparency and keeping patients – not politics or professional interests – at the centre of every healthcare decision.  BARTONShttps://www.bartons.com.au/  Financial Clarity for Life is proudly brought to you by Bartons, Chartered Accountants and Wealth Advisors.

    Interprofessional Practice Series | Episode 1: The Tipping Point

    Interprofessional practice is no longer optional in Australian healthcare – it’s the key to delivering safer, more accessible care while sustaining a stretched workforce in an increasingly complex system. In the first episode of the Interprofessional Practice podcast series, Bartons’ Director Adam McCann is joined by Dr Gerry O’Callaghan, who draws on decades of experience as an intensive care specialist, academic and policy leader to explain how growing patient complexity, workforce pressures and rising costs have exposed the limits of siloed care.  Dr O’Callaghan reflects on lessons from COVID-19, which revealed both system weaknesses and the untapped capability of healthcare teams working at the top of their scope. The conversation examines how policy, regulation and Medicare reforms are aligning to support team-based care, particularly in primary healthcare.  BARTONS

    Investing in Commercial Property

    Investing in commercial property offers unique benefits and challenges, from higher yields and bespoke leases to tax considerations. Bartons’ Director Chris Waples and Senior Manager Matt Baczyk discuss the differences between commercial and residential properties.  Although commercial has distinct advantages over residential, commercial properties come with greater vacancy risks and require careful consideration of factors like lease terms, tax obligations, and zoning restrictions. For investors, strategies like using a self-managed super fund (SMSF) can offer tax benefits in retirement, but professional advice is essential to navigate the complexities of this asset class.  MORE INFORMATION  BARTONS https://www.bartons.com.au/  Financial Clarity for Life is proudly brought to you by Bartons, Chartered Accountants and Wealth Advisors.  Bartons is offering you the opportunity for a 5-minute financial clarity call.
