About this task
Each customised fee schedule you create is based on another, 'parent' schedule. For example, you could create a fee schedule for all your practices in NSW, and base this schedule on the default schedule you use for non-Bulk Bill / DVA fees. This new schedule for NSW could have its own child schedules - one for each practice you have in NSW.
In the following example, we will create a schedule for our NSW practices. It will be based on our default fee schedule. We will then create a second fee schedule, which is a subset (a child of) the NSW schedule.
