What's inside

13 chapters that take you from "maybe one day" to open doors:

• Finding your why and choosing a business model. Room hire or boutique clinic? Work out which one fits where you're at right now.
• Legal structure and compliance in Australia. The business setup, registrations, and protections you need before you treat a single patient.
• Location and setup. How to pick a space that works (and why the prime CBD address isn't always the smart move).
• Equipment, products and pricing. The essentials worth spending on, the extras that can wait, and how to price so you actually pay yourself.
• Branding and marketing. How to build a brand patients remember, and the marketing that actually brings them through the door.
• Building a team. When to hire, who to hire first, and the support crew every solo clinic needs behind the scenes.
• Education, training and upskilling. The pathway from beginner to confident injector, and how to keep growing your skills.
• Medical oversight and compliance. The part that trips up new clinics most, made clear: prescriber oversight, S4 requirements, and your compliance checklist.
• Building a patient base. How to attract your first 50 patients, mostly without spending a cent.
• Launching with impact. A simple launch checklist so your opening feels intentional, not overwhelming.
• Growth and optimisation. The handful of numbers to track so you grow with confidence, not guesswork.
