What is a Virtual Office?
A virtual office provides your practice and ABN with a professional business address without needing a physical clinic space. You can use this address on your website, business cards, and for ASIC registration, while maintaining your privacy.
How It Works
Virtual office providers offer mail handling services where they:
Receive your mail at their business address
Scan and email documents to you
Forward physical mail if needed
Provide a professional address for your practice
⚠️ Important Privacy Consideration for Medical Practices: Before using a virtual office for patient correspondence, verify with your provider that their service is appropriate for handling sensitive patient information and complies with healthcare privacy requirements. Consider whether scanning and emailing patient-related documents meets your obligations under privacy laws and AHPRA guidelines, and if not you can ask them to physically forward mail to another address instead.
