What you'll need to set up your account as an Independent Occupational Therapist
We will require the following information from you to set you up as an Independent Provider with Ardant.
ABN
As an independent service provider on Ardant, it's essential to include your ABN in your profile to be eligible for job opportunities within our platform. Please ensure your ABN is added during the initial account setup phase.
You can acquire an ABN via the Australian Business Register. It is free, takes less than 30 mins to apply, and application is generally processed within 1 business day.
AHPRA Registration
Occupational therapists must be registered with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia, and meet the Board's registration standards, in order to practise in Australia.
Further information on the registration process is available on the AHPRA website.
Bank Account
We require valid Australian bank details to facilitate direct and timely payments for your services.
Certificate of Currency
Providers are required to maintain and provide proof of Public Liability Insurance (PLI) and Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) coverage up to AUD $20 million, demonstrating that their PLI and PII are active and meet the specified coverage amount.
Checks
We require necessary background checks to ensure the safety and reliability of our platform.
All providers must undergo or provide a proof of National Police Check to verify their suitability for offering healthcare services. Additionally, if you plan to work with children, a Working with Children Check is mandatory. Similarly, a Working with Vulnerable People Check will be required. Depending on the scope of work, further clearances may be required. These checks are essential components of our commitment to providing a secure and trustworthy environment for both service providers and users on Ardant.
Medicare Provider Number
Providing your Medicare Provider Number is optional and only necessary if you plan to work with Medicare beneficiaries.
Occupational Therapists are eligible to deliver a variety of services funded by Medicare.
If you're an Occupational Therapist applying for a Medicare provider number for the first time, you'll need to complete a form which can be accessed via the Services Australia Medicare Provider Registration information page.
Provider Agreement with MBCAM Pty Ltd
The "Provider Agreement" outlines the relationship between Ardant's parent company, MBCAM Pty Ltd, and you, the Allied Health Professional, establishing your status as an independent contractor. This agreement details the terms and expectations of our professional engagement.
Valid Photo ID
We require a valid photo ID to verify identity and uphold platform security. Please upload a government-issued ID ( Australian Driver's License, Australian Passport, International Passport) during account setup.
