Medical Tourism - Company Setup and Indemnities
28-Jan-2026 (In Startup Law)
I am looking to setup a medical tourism company. The role is to facilitate travel for medical purposes from Australia / New Zealand and Pacific Island (E.g. Fiji, Solomon Island) to India corridor. In future, we might expand to other geographies. I am based in Australia and keen to ensure my assets in Australia are protected. In addition, I want to use the earnings from this business to build wealth in Australia. How should I structure my company?
Set up an Australian holding company owning an Indian subsidiary. Operate medical facilitation via India entity, ring-fence liability, repatriate profits legally, comply with FEMA, tax treaties, and use Australia for wealth protection.

Structure as a multi-jurisdictional, asset-protective group. Incorporate an Australian holding company (Pty Ltd) to own IP, brand, contracts, and profits, regulated by ASIC. Establish a separate Indian operating subsidiary to contract hospitals and manage ground execution, insulating Australian assets from medical-liability and regulatory risk. Revenue should flow to Australia via arm’s-length service/licensing fees, transfer-priced and tax-compliant with ATO rules. Use professional indemnity insurance, robust patient disclaimers, and no clinical decision-making role. Retain profits in Australia for reinvestment via trusts or investment vehicles, ensuring long-term wealth accumulation and creditor protection.
