Pinnacle Incorporated is a membership-based organisation of like-minded general practitioners. As a Pinnacle practice, you and your practice staff have access to a range of benefits.
Pinnacle has had an organisation membership with EMA for 18 months and during that time several of our practices have accessed their training, member briefings, legal advice, health and safety, employment relations and people experience services.
Although we will not be renewing our membership for Pinnacle practices, EMA is offering the network's practices a 20 per cent (20%) discount on an annual membership fee.
EMA membership fees are calculated on an FTE basis.
Example 1: A practice has 5 FTEs and an average salary of $60k. The standard membership fee would be $842.63 for the year. With the 20% discount for a Pinnacle practice, they would be looking at $674.11 for the year, and would have the option to pay that monthly by direct debit (approx. $56 per month).
Example 2: A Practice of 15 FTEs with an average salary of $60k would be looking at $115.34 per month.
To find out more information about the services, or to discuss a membership for your practice, please contact Jo Mackie, EMA Area Manager – Waikato/Bay of Plenty.
