Quick Assist

Answers to our mostly frequently asked questions are just one click away.

Engine

How do I add another team member login when using Prime Engine?

As an administrator, you can add another team member login by clicking on the ‘Team’ tab at the top of the screen and clicking ‘Add Team Member’.
If you are not an administrator, you can send an email to events@primepractice.com.au, inluding full name and unique email address for the new team member.

Who on my team should have a login for the Prime Engine?

Anybody who wants to access the videos themselves should have a unique login. It also helps with setting actions if each team member has their own login identity. The administrator (Practice Owner, Practice Manager,Training Manager) are the ones who allocate logins for the team.

How can I contact my coach on the Prime Engine?

You can contact them via the messages section directly within the engine.

Live Online Training

I’m having issues logging into my session, I click the link on my email and nothing happens.

A team member will not be able to attend the session today, can they do it later on?

Yes, you need to notify events@primepractice.com.au as soon as possible. Alternatively, we record the live sessions and send the link to watch in their own time. The link will be sent out 24hrs after the live session and is accessible for a period of 48 hours. It’s not as engaging as attending live but hopefully this gives your team member a chance to review the session.

Can we replace a team member with someone else?

Yes, we can change the attendance. Please provide full name, email address and position of the person who will be attending the session and who they are replacing to events@primepractice.com.au

Program

What does my coach do for me?

Your coach will work with you to develop the relevant team skills, systems and processes needed to keep you on track. Your coach will also be your trusted consultant and a constant source of ideas, tools and strategies, and support you through any challenge that you and your team might encounter.
They will create a financial plan for the business annually, and analyse the practice reports with you each month to ensure your finger is always on the pulse.
With scheduled coaching sessions each month for you and/or specific team members, your practice has unlimited access to coaching support as and when the need arises. Your coach will make sure you’re able to implement what you learn at our workshops and customise the tools and resources for the needs of your practice.

Can I or my team revisit workshops?

Growth, Management or Masters Program participants may revisit any of the relevant workshops in their program or send new team members to revisit as many times as wanted, as long as the practice is still registered in either the program.* * Our venues may have limited numbers and are subject to availability. Please register asap to avoid disappointment.

Can my practice do the workshops out of sequence?

We don’t recommend it, our programs are carefully sequenced and work most effectively in the right order. This allows sufficient time to implement systems and information and absorb all the content. Please consult with your coach.

Can I come along to your public short courses?

Practices registered in the Management or Masters Program are welcome to send team members to any of the short courses run by Prime Practice.

everything else

When will I get invoiced for monthly payments?

Your monthly fee will be invoiced on the 1st of the month. All subsequent payments will be invoiced on the 1st of each month.

I am on holidays for a month, can I not pay that month's fees?

The fees that Prime Practice charges every month are calculated by working out the costs of: workshops (including venue hire, workbooks, catering, travelling for your workshops, presenting workshops), coaching support for the year, IT support for things such as web-based reporting PLUS all additional services and offerings (seminars, etc). This figure is then divided by 12 to space the payments over the span of a year. The Program benefits are spread unevenly over the year, but it would be impossible to calculate different costs every month.

I didn’t receive an invoice after registering for a workshop.
