For Health & Allied Health · Australia-wide

The patient rang
at lunchtime.
Nobody answered.

Health practices lose most bookings at reception, not at marketing. We build sites that book patients without a phone call, recall systems that fill tomorrow’s gaps, and we build all of it inside the AHPRA advertising rules that most agencies have never read.

The Real Problem

Two problems: the diary, and the agency that gets you fined.

The commercial problem is ordinary. Patients try to book when they think of it, which is at lunch, at 8pm, and on Sunday. Reception is available for none of those. The call rings out, and the patient books with whoever answered or lets it go entirely. Meanwhile the diary has gaps tomorrow that a recall system would have filled.

The second problem is specific to your industry and it is why we built this page. Section 133 of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law prohibits using testimonials in advertising a regulated health service. Most marketing agencies do not know this. They will happily build you a review carousel because it works everywhere else, and the compliance exposure lands on you, not on them.

  • Booking that requires a human. Phone-only booking loses every patient who thought of it outside business hours, which is most of them.
  • No-shows nobody prevents. Empty chair, staff still paid, and the reminder that would have prevented it was a task nobody got to.
  • Recalls that depend on memory. Six-month checkups, annual reviews and follow-up appointments left to whoever remembers to run the report.
  • Testimonials on the site. Prohibited for regulated health services, and it is the practitioner who wears it.
  • Health information handled casually. Health information is sensitive information under the Privacy Act, with a higher bar than ordinary contact details, and referrals get emailed as attachments anyway.

We would rather tell you about the second one before you engage us than after a complaint arrives.

What We Build For Practices

Fill the diary, protect the registration.

Everything here does one of two things: it removes a reason a patient did not book, or it keeps you inside the rules while doing it. Nothing we build asks you to trade one for the other.

  • Online booking that actually works at 9pm. Connected to your practice software so availability is real, not a request form that somebody has to phone back about, which is just a slower phone call.
  • Automated reminders. SMS and email confirmations timed to cut no-shows, with easy rescheduling, because a rescheduled appointment is worth vastly more than an empty chair.
  • Recall automation. Checkups, reviews and follow-ups triggered from your practice software so the diary fills from your existing patient base before you spend anything on marketing.
  • Waitlist that fills cancellations. A cancellation goes out to the waitlist automatically and often fills the same day, without reception ringing down a list.
  • AHPRA-aware content. No testimonials, no claims of superiority, no offers that encourage unnecessary treatment, no misuse of titles. We build to the advertising guidelines and flag anything borderline rather than quietly publishing it.
  • Health information treated as sensitive. Encrypted intake forms rather than emailed PDFs, signed expiring links for referrals, access control, and no patient information in any AI tool without no-training commercial terms.
  • Found for the conditions you treat. Service pages built around how patients describe symptoms, within the advertising rules, which is a real constraint and one we work inside rather than around.

The Process

How it runs,
start to finish.

01

Audit the diary and the risk

We try to book with you outside business hours and see what happens, then review your current site against the AHPRA advertising guidelines. Most practices have at least one issue and would rather know.

  • Booking path tested after hours
  • Advertising compliance reviewed
  • Recall and no-show rates checked
02

Fixed quote

One number approved before anything starts. Practice software and SMS credits stay in your name and are listed at cost.

  • One price, no hourly billing
  • SMS and licences at cost
  • Timeline you can plan around
03

Build and connect

We build the site and booking flow, then connect to your practice management software. Where a system will not integrate, we say so early rather than discovering it late.

  • Online booking live
  • Reminders and recalls running
  • Practice software connected
04

Hand over and support

Logins, a walkthrough for reception and practitioners, and a 30 day defect period. Support optional and quoted first.

  • Everything in your name
  • 30 day defect period
  • No lock-in

What It Costs

Count the empty chairs first.

The variables are how many services and practitioners need pages, which practice management software we are connecting, whether you need booking and recalls or just booking, and how much of the intake gets automated.

The number to compare it against is your own. Take your no-show rate, multiply by your appointment value and your annual appointment volume. Add the after-hours calls that ring out. For most practices the recall automation alone pays for the build inside a year, and it draws on patients you already have rather than on ad spend.

  • Fixed quote before we start. You approve a number and that is the number.
  • AHPRA compliance reviewed as part of the build. We check the site against the advertising guidelines and tell you about anything that concerns us, including things you asked for.
  • Health information handled as sensitive. Encrypted, access controlled, and never used to train an AI model.
  • 30 day defect period. If something does not work as specified, we fix it at no charge.
  • No lock-in. Everything in your name from day one.

Why Us For This

We will say no to things that would get you in trouble.

If you ask us for a patient review carousel, we will explain why we are not building it and what we will build instead. That is a strange thing for a supplier to advertise, and it is the single most useful thing we can tell a health practice choosing an agency.

The same applies to data. Health information sits in the sensitive category under the Privacy Act, which is a higher bar than ordinary business contact details. We wrote the Australian guide to AI and the Privacy Act that practices are now using to audit their own suppliers, and our own privacy policy names every provider we use and where each one processes data.

Where is the diary actually leaking?

Six questions about how a patient books and how a chair goes empty. Three minutes, and it also flags any advertising compliance issue we can see from outside.

  • Can a patient book at 9pm without speaking to anyone?
  • What is your no-show rate, and what does it cost per month?
  • How are six-month recalls triggered, and by whom?
  • What happens to tomorrow’s cancellation at 4pm today?
  • Does your current site carry testimonials or reviews?
  • How does a referral reach you, and is it encrypted?

You get the findings in writing whether or not you engage us, including any AHPRA advertising issues we spot, which are yours to act on regardless.

Questions

What practices ask us
before they start.

Can we use patient testimonials on our website?

Not for a regulated health service. Section 133 of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law prohibits advertising that uses testimonials about the clinical aspects of a regulated health service, and that includes reviews you did not solicit if they appear on a site you control. You can publish factual information about your services, practitioner qualifications, and non-clinical feedback about things like parking or wait times. We build within that, and we would rather lose the argument at quoting stage than have you deal with a complaint later.

What about our Google reviews?

Reviews on third-party platforms you do not control, such as Google, are generally treated differently from testimonials you publish yourself, because AHPRA guidance recognises you cannot control them. The risk arises when you pull them onto your own site, embed a review widget, or actively solicit clinical reviews. We advise practices to leave Google as Google and keep clinical testimonials off the practice website entirely.

Can you connect to our practice management software?

Usually. Cliniko, Halaxy, Best Practice, Medical Director, Dentally, Praktika, Coreplus and most modern systems expose an API or support an integration layer. Some older or locally installed systems genuinely will not, and where that is the case we will tell you at the audit stage rather than discovering it three weeks into a build.

Is online booking safe for patient information?

It can be, and the configuration is what decides it. We keep clinical detail out of the booking step entirely, collect only what is needed to reserve a time, then move any health information into an encrypted intake form connected to your practice software. Health information is sensitive information under the Privacy Act with a higher standard than ordinary contact details, and referrals should never be arriving as plain email attachments.

We are an NDIS provider, not a clinic. Does this apply?

Most of it does, and some extra rules apply to you. Participant information is sensitive, your obligations under the NDIS Practice Standards sit on top of the Privacy Act, and intake and support coordination workflows are usually where the manual effort hides. AHPRA advertising rules apply to your registered practitioners rather than to the organisation, so the constraint is narrower but still real.

How much does it cost?

It depends on how many services and practitioners need pages, which practice management software we are connecting, and whether you need booking only or booking plus recalls, reminders and waitlist automation. We quote a fixed price before starting, and SMS credits and software licences stay in your name at cost rather than being marked up.

Do you work with practices outside Albury Wodonga?

Yes. We are based in Albury and work with medical, dental, allied health and NDIS practices across Australia. The build runs over video calls and screen shares, which suits practices better than losing clinical time to a site visit.
