About Hills Street Group
Running and developing your own business can be tough, our role is to relieve some of the pressure and make it easier. The beauty of HSG system is that we do much of the work for you, to simplify the business, cut down the paper work and reduce the number of decisions to be made and bills to be paid.
Hills Street Group is a relatively young organisation, beginning some 10 years ago. The Injury Management industry is exciting to observe as it evolves in response to those who seek to regulate it and those who seek to find creative solutions to the complex problems and opportunities it continually presents.
Our organization strives to participate in the evolution of this industry by collaborating with our clients, our peers and importantly, our staff and business associates. In short, our role is to facilitate between Employers, Insurance Companies, Injured Workers, Medical Professionals, WorkCover and to educate and coach all concerned towards better and more cost effective outcomes.
The Hills Street Group vision is to empower all those who fall within our sphere of influence to perform at their highest level of functioning. Our Health Care Franchise model is compatible with this vision as it allows our Franchise associates to achieve their unlimited potential, with the ongoing support of our business systems and identity.
The benefits you will enjoy as a Hills Street Group Franchisee.
- You become part of a highly professional and respected facilitation and rehabilitation business.
- You will have a very professional Corporate Support team behind you to provide initial and ongoing advice, training, support and coaching in every facet of the operation, measurement and management of your business.
- As all Franchisees contribute to a cooperative Marketing Fund you will have access to a sales and marketing program at minimal cost and risk to yourself. Much of the marketing will be done at a corporate level and the referrals generated will be passed on to Franchisees for delivery and management of the services. As a Franchisee you will be consulted and kept informed of marketing initiatives. HSG regards client relationship management to be the single most important aspect of our marketing strategy.
- A cooperative Conference Fund facilitates the running of an annual conference that all Franchisees would attend. This is an invaluable networking, learning, recognition and social experience to enhance your knowledge and the relationships that drive your business.
- Hills Street Group case management is strongly focussed on “evidence based practice”. This is very much a point of difference between Hills Street Group and our competitors. During the training phase, a significant amount of time will be devoted to explaining this model.
- You will be secure in the knowledge that it is well proven and documented that Franchise Businesses are four times more successful than stand alone small to medium businesses. Statistics show that in the first five years 80% of independent small businesses fail while 20% survive. In Franchising it is the reverse, 80% succeed and 20% sell or move on.
- When it is time to retire or move on a Franchise business is much more valuable and much easier to sell. In addition Banks and Financial organizations are more willing to lend money on a Franchise business than a stand alone small business.
- You are able to directly link into the corporate IT server and administration systems to manage, research, communicate, network, measure performance benchmarks and other operating systems. In addition the Franchisor will generate and transmit all invoicing to your clients and collect all accounts receivable on your behalf. For most small to medium businesses these very important functions can be most onerous and as a result are often neglected.
- When you have any problem at all in running, managing, measuring, understanding, marketing or financing your business you have a corporate support office, and a network of peers who will be happy to support and help you.
- You will enjoy the buying power of a large organization on many consumables, insurance, legals, marketing, compliance, education and training.
- You will be in business for yourself but not by yourself.

Franchising is considered to be the single most effective way known to the western world today to develop and grow businesses. It’s also extremely comforting to know that Australia leads the world when it comes to Franchising.
