Clinic Acquisition — Full HR Setup
For first-time owners, taking on an existing vet clinic brings excitement, and no shortage of pressure. I worked alongside this pair throughout their acquisition and sale phase, meeting over dinner to talk through the realities of what they were taking on: the risks, the options, and what a strong clinic and staffing setup would actually look like once the sale went through.
Once the acquisition settled, the focus shifted to building the people side of the business from the ground up. I drafted custom employment contracts and position descriptions tailored to their clinic, along with a full policy suite built around their specific needs, not a generic template, but something that genuinely reflected how they wanted to run their practice.
The final stage brought it all together: consolidating their HR and WHS into a single platform, tailor-designing their Employment Hero setup, completing the full installation, and training the new owners on how to use it before handing it over.
What they were left with wasn't just paperwork. It was a complete, ready-to-run people function, built specifically for their new clinic from the beginning.
