Nurse Education Program – Referral Program Terms & Conditions

1. Referral Rewards Calculation
1.1 Referral discounts are calculated on a cumulative total of operating theatres referred by your hospital.

1.2 Example: If your hospital refers three different sites with a combined total of 12 operating theatres, you would qualify for the 11–15 theatre reward tier, earning $2,000 total off your next renewal.

2. Discounts for Referred Sites
2.1 Each referred site receives a discount based on their own theatre count only.

2.2 Example: If a referred hospital has 1–5 theatres, they would receive $500 off their first invoice.

3. Tracking & Administration
3.1 Periop Concepts will maintain a master record of all referral rewards for tracking purposes.

3.2 Automated systems will ensure all discounts are accurately tracked and applied.

3.3 Discounts cannot be combined with any other promotions or offers for the Nurse Education Program, unless otherwise approved by Periop Concepts.

4. Hospital Referral Reward Structure
When you refer a hospital to join the program, both your hospital and the referred hospital receive a discount on your next renewal or new invoice, based on the number of operating theatres at the referred site:

1–5 theatres → $500 off

6–10 theatres → $1,200 off

11–15 theatres → $2,000 off

16+ theatres → $3,000 off (maximum)

5. Examples
Refer a 4-theatre hospital → You both get $500 off.

Refer a 9-theatre hospital → You both get $1,200 off.

Refer a 12-theatre hospital → You both get $2,000 off.

Refer a 20-theatre hospital → You both get $3,000 off (maximum).

6. Additional Terms
6.1 If your hospital does not renew or re-sign, any accumulated referral discount will be reset to zero.

6.2 If an educator moves to a new hospital, organisation, or network, their accumulated discount may be transferred to the new site.

6.3 A $2,000 onboarding and setup fee applies to all new Nurse Education Program sites, regardless of referral discounts applied.
