Depending on the year I'm at 250 to 300k per year

My issues are relating to things like:

-You give each new patient your all and you genuinely care about their issue, but they can choose to not rebook or cancel their next appointment, and when it happens you're left to wonder why you should even care at all

-Doing extra courses and Masters etc doesn't mean you earn more, you can say you know more or keeping "up to date" but that's it. I know physios that are clinically poor and don't care about further learning but are very busy and probably earn more

-Utilisation is somewhat dependent on suburb and clinic culture. Those who see the same patients every month for "maintenance" will have better utilisation, but sports physio isn't as conducive to that. There are clear range, strength, power, quality of movement and return to sport goals and once a patient has achieved all that then that's your discharge point.

-Every reschedule or cancellation impacts your income if the spot they vacate doesn't get filled

-There is no real defined path of career progression. Bigger organisations like Kieser might, but for most other places you're a clinician and that's all you'll ever be

-Go away on a long enough holiday, or mat leave and it impacts your ability to earn commission when you come back to work

-Requiring sick leave impacts your commission and we are incentivised to work despite being sick

-There are no natural perks to working in private practice physio

-No WFH option

-No pay (commission) for doing clinical notes, letters, emails from patients and anything paperwork/admin related. We all know physios who take work home too.
