Running rooms in Melbourne

What matters when you bill visiting specialists from Melbourne rooms.

Your month-end, in Victorian terms

The SRO ruling looks at the substance of the arrangements between a medical centre and its practitioners, not the label on the agreement. SuiteBook keeps each specialist’s arrangement dated, with its document type, rooms and fees, so you can show your adviser exactly what applied and when.

Records you can hand over

Each finalised month keeps the sessions, the arrangement used and the tax invoice together, with an audit log of changes. That makes it simpler to answer an adviser’s or the SRO’s questions about a particular month.

Shared suites, mixed models

Melbourne suites often mix a flat session fee for one specialist with a percentage of billings for another. SuiteBook calculates each under its own dated arrangement and puts both on the same month-end run.

Time zone: AEST / AEDT. Victoria uses daylight saving, so Melbourne sessions run on AEDT from October to April.

Payroll tax and medical centres in Victoria

State Revenue Office Victoria publishes guidance on how payroll tax may apply to payments made under arrangements between medical centres and practitioners. SuiteBook is a billing tool. It does not tell you whether payroll tax applies to your arrangements, and using it does not make your suite compliant.

SRO public ruling PTA-041
  • PTA-041 (Relevant contracts – medical centres) explains how the SRO applies the relevant contract provisions to medical centres and practitioners.
  • The SRO looks at the substance of an arrangement, not what it is called.
  • Whether an exemption applies depends on your facts. SuiteBook does not decide that.
  • Get your own legal, tax and accounting advice about how your arrangements are structured.

Melbourne questions

Does SuiteBook decide whether payroll tax applies to my Victorian suite?

No. It records and bills the arrangements you have made. Whether the relevant contract provisions or an exemption apply depends on your facts. Read SRO ruling PTA-041 and get your own advice.

Does SuiteBook list Melbourne consulting rooms for rent?

No. SuiteBook is software for the operator of the rooms. It is not a listing site and does not take bookings from the public.

Can I use it if I also have rooms outside Victoria?

The demo covers one set of rooms. Support for groups with rooms at more than one site is planned, not in the demo yet.
