Thinking of selling your medical practice?

You have spent decades building this.

The practice you are thinking of selling is not just a business. It is the community relationships you have maintained, the patients who have trusted you for years, and the staff who have grown with you. Selling it deserves more thought than a broker listing and a bidding process. We approach practice acquisitions differently — because we understand what is actually at stake.

Aspire Medical Group is a Queensland-owned and operated clinic group actively acquiring GP practices across South East Queensland. We are not a corporate healthcare chain and we are not a private equity fund. We are a family business run by people who work in general practice every day — and that shapes how we approach every purchase.

If you are considering selling your medical practice in South East Queensland, this page explains what the process looks like, what drives your practice's value, and how we structure transactions to protect what you have built.

Is This the Right Time to Sell?

Most GPs come to us for one of three reasons:

•       Retirement or semi-retirement: you are ready to step back, but you want to do it on your terms and at your own pace — not hand over the keys and walk away overnight

•       Admin burnout: the business of running the practice has consumed so much of your time that clinical work has suffered — and you want to get back to being a doctor, not an administrator

•       Succession problem: you cannot find a GP within your practice who is positioned to buy you out, and the open market feels risky and exposing

In all three cases, the same question applies: who do you sell to, and can you trust them with what you have built?

What Drives Your Practice's Value?

Before entering any conversation about price, it helps to understand the five factors that most significantly affect GP practice valuation in Queensland:

Value Driver and what we look at

Billings & Revenue

Total annual billings, revenue per GP, billing mix (bulk/private), and revenue trend over the past 3 years. Growing revenue is worth significantly more than stable or declining revenue.

Patient Numbers & Retention

Active patient records, appointment fill rate, and how many patients belong to the practice versus a single GP. A practice with strong patient attachment across the team is more resilient than one dependent on one doctor.

Premises & Lease

Lease terms, remaining lease duration, rent relative to market, parking, accessibility, and whether the premises are fit for a modern general practice. Long, secure leases in good locations add material value.

Staff Retention

Staff tenure, willingness of key employees to continue post-sale, and the strength of your nursing and administrative team. A practice that works without you is worth more than one where you are the centre of operations.

Accreditation & Compliance

Current AGPAL/QIP accreditation status, RACGP Standards compliance, and the quality of your documentation. Gaps here add cost and time to a sale. Up-to-date accreditation adds a premium.

The Exit Process: Step by Step

Here is how a typical practice sale with Aspire Medical Group works, from first conversation through to your final day:

 Initial, confidential conversation

You contact us. No brokers, no advertising, no unsolicited approaches to your staff or patients. We sign an NDA before any financial information is shared.

Practice valuation

We conduct an operational and financial review of your practice: billings, patient numbers, lease, staffing, accreditation, equipment, and systems. We give you a clear, written valuation with the reasoning behind it.

Offer & negotiation

We make a formal written offer. You take it to your accountant and solicitor — we expect that and we encourage it. We negotiate in good faith and we do not use pressure tactics.

Due diligence

Both parties conduct due diligence. We review your financials, employment records, lease, and compliance documentation. You review our financial standing and our track record as operators.

Contracts & settlement

Legal agreements are drafted and executed. The settlement timeline is agreed — typically [PLACEHOLDER: e.g. 30–90 days from exchange]. Medicare and accreditation notifications are handled.

Transition period

This is the stage most sellers care about most. We work with you to design a handover that protects your patients, retains your staff, and preserves the reputation you have built. You can stay as a GP for as long as makes sense for you and the practice.

Post-sale support

We do not disappear after settlement. We remain available to you as you complete your transition, and we have a genuine interest in the practice continuing to thrive — because it is now ours to run.

Why Sell to Aspire Medical Group?

There are other buyers in this market. Here is what is different about selling to us:

•       No agent fees: you deal directly with us, which means no commission payable to a business broker

•       Owner-operated: we run clinics ourselves, which means we understand the real value of what you have built and we manage practices — not investments

•       Staff continuity: we have a strong record of retaining existing staff post-acquisition — because we know that the team is part of the practice's value

•       Patient continuity: we do not restructure or rebrand practices in ways that disrupt patient relationships — we preserve what works

•       Flexible transition: we can structure a gradual exit that lets you continue practising at the clinic while you wind down — on a timeline that suits you, not us

•       Honest valuation: we tell you what your practice is worth and why, not what you want to hear
