Business advice and support for Lead Maternity Carers

 

In New Zealand the majority of LMC midwives are self-employed, which means they also need to establish and maintain business systems to ensure the viability of their service. The MMPO is designed to support midwives with business services through a variety of ways:

New LMC midwife practitioner start up

We have developed a 'start-up pack' for all midwives new to LMC service provision. This includes business and tax advice. When you are ready to start the service, call the MMPO to order your maternity notes. We are available by phone Monday - Friday between 8am and 5pm for midwives to call for assistance and advice.

We have also negotiated a new business start up loan scheme with the ASB Bank.

To obtain the pack and information on the loan, please contact the MMPO manager on manager@mmpo.org.nz or 03 3772485.

Efficient MMPO Maternity Practice Management System

Our MMPO Maternity Practice Management System has been developed specifically to meet the business needs of LMC midwives and has a low claim rejection rate. It has been designed to minimize the risk of non-compliance with Section 88.

We have a data specialist dedicated to installation and management of the home based system.

Diversion of payments into tax and other accounts

To meet your income tax obligations:

We do not deduct any income tax from your payments, so you will need to arrange for payment of provisional tax with Inland Revenue (0800 377 774).

In order to assist you with this commitment, we will divert some of your payment to your 'tax or other account' if you wish.

To have a proportion of your payments diverted to your tax account:

o                                Provide us with the bank account number of your 'tax account'.

o                                Let us know the proportion (%) you would like us to credit to this account from each pay.

GST Payments:

If you anticipate earning over $40,000 per year, you must be GST registered. On receipt of your GST number, obtained on application to Inland Revenue (0800 377 774), we will pay you the GST inclusive amount.

If you are not GST registered, you will receive GST exclusive payments.

To arrange this please contact the MMPO Manager on:
