Why Do Pay Rise Decisions Feel So Heavy?
Is it because….
you’re wondering what the recent 4.75% wage increase means for your practice?
you care deeply about your people, but also about the future of your business?
you’re unsure how to balance fairness, affordability and sustainability?
Pay rises aren’t just about money.
They’re leadership moments – tied up with fairness, sustainability, and team trust.
And most practice owners were never taught how to approach these moments clearly.
So what often happens is…
- we respond too quickly to relieve the discomfort
- we focus on the wage increase itself, rather than the full financial impact
- we second-guess ourselves afterwards
- or we avoid it… until the pressure builds
This webinar gives you space to slow the moment down and decide with clarity.
Who is it for?
This webinar is for you if…
- You’re trying to understand what the wage increase means for your practice
- You care deeply about being fair to your team
- You want your business to be sustainable long term
- You’re weighing up whether fees, wages or budgets need to shift
- You want a clearer way to think before you respond
You don’t need perfect systems or confidence with numbers – just space to think clearly before you respond.

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to do the right thing… but I also need this business to survive,” you’re in the right place!
What we’ll explore together:
- What the recent 4.75% wage increase may mean for your practice
- How to slow the moment down and separate emotion from decision-making
- What to consider before you say yes (or no) to a pay request
- How to assess affordability without relying on guesswork
- How to lead pay conversations with clarity and care
- What “fair” can actually look like when the context has changed
No formulas. No pressure. Just grounded, practical clarity.
This may not be the right fit if….
-
You want scripts or exact answers on what to say or pay
-
You’re looking for quick fixes or rigid rules
-
You don’t employ (or plan to employ) a team
-
You want someone else to make the decision for you
This is a space for reflection, clarity, and steadier leadership – not pressure or perfection.
I’m Amy Geach – an occupational therapist and private practice owner who understands how heavy leadership decisions can feel.
Especially when they involve people you care about and a business you want to protect. And right now, many practice owners are navigating an additional layer of uncertainty following the recent 4.75% wage increase announcement.
Questions around affordability, sustainability and what comes next are front of mind for many practice owners.
If you’ve ever thought, “I want to do the right thing… but I also need this business to survive,” you’re in the right place.
I began my career as an occupational therapist in 2000 and moved into private practice several years later. Like many practice owners, I went from the security of a salaried role to being responsible not just for my own work, but for a team – often without a clear roadmap.
For over 17 years, I’ve owned and operated allied health private practices, navigating growth, team management, and the kinds of decisions that don’t come with simple answers – including pay, sustainability, and long-term viability.
I founded The Connection to provide allied health practice owners with thoughtful, practical support… so they can make decisions with clarity, confidence, and care, without carrying it all alone.
This session is shaped by that experience, and by the many conversations I’ve had with practice owners who want to lead well – without panic or pressure.
A quick note before you register…..
You don’t need to prepare anything. You don’t need numbers, spreadsheets, or answers ready. And there’s no pressure to participate or share.
This session is designed to give you space to think clearly – not add another thing to perform or keep up with.
