Running rooms in Perth

What matters when you bill visiting specialists from Perth rooms.

A different payroll-tax starting point

The Western Australian guide on contractor payments asks whether a worker is a common law employee, looking at the whole relationship. It says WA is not harmonised with the other states on contractors. The Victorian, NSW and Queensland medical-centre rulings are not the Perth starting point, so read the WA guide with your own adviser.

What your records can show

The factors in the WA guide turn on how an arrangement works in practice. SuiteBook keeps each specialist’s dated arrangement, the rooms and sessions charged under it and each finalised month together, so your adviser can see what was agreed and what was billed.

One clock, no daylight saving

Perth stays on AWST all year, so a session is the same session in January and July. If you run rooms in another state as well, remember the gap to the east changes with the seasons.

Time zone: AWST all year. Western Australia does not use daylight saving. Perth is 3 hours behind Melbourne and Sydney while those cities are on AEDT, and 2 hours behind otherwise. Worth remembering if your bookkeeper or other rooms are in the eastern states.

Perth public holidays in 2026

Dates specific to Western Australia that can fall inside a billing month.

These are the 2026 dates the WA Government page lists, which also notes that Karratha and Port Hedland observe the King’s Birthday on 3 August instead. Check the official calendar before you plan around them.

Public holidays in Western Australia (WA Government)

Monday 2 March
Labour Day
Monday 1 June
Western Australia Day
Monday 28 September
King’s Birthday

SuiteBook charges each booked session under the arrangement that applied that day. Whether a holiday changes what you charge is a matter for your agreement with each specialist.

Western Australia

Payroll tax and medical centres in Western Australia

The Western Australian Government, Department of Treasury and Finance, 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.

WA Government payroll tax guide: contractor payments
  • The guide says payments to contractors can be liable for payroll tax where the relationship is akin to employer and employee.
  • It says no single test is conclusive. The totality of the relationship decides.
  • It points to Revenue Ruling PT 6 on subcontracting arrangements and employment agents, and says employers who are unsure can ask for a determination.
  • Get your own legal, tax and accounting advice about how your arrangements are structured.

Perth questions

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

No. It records and bills the arrangements you have made. Read the WA Government’s contractor-payments guide and get your own advice, or ask the WA revenue office for a determination as the guide describes.

Does SuiteBook list Perth 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 in another state?

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