In-house vs freelance copywriter
I read 30 Australian job ads for in-house roles that write patient copy.
The rules in the job ad
None made it a must-have. No ad mentioned the TGA.
What some ads asked for
None of those 4 mentioned AHPRA. Section 133 bars testimonials in health advertising.
Who carries the risk
Ahpra says advertisers need to check content made on their behalf, by staff or an agency.
The in-house bill
That was the middle advertised salary. Super at 12% comes on top, before leave and equipment.
Why clinics hire in-house
Events, paid ads, GP referrers, the front desk and reviews. A freelancer does none of those.
If you pick an agency
Of 45 healthcare agency sites I read, only 3 said the risk stays with the clinic.
Whichever you pick
Name who signs off before anything goes live, and keep the record.
