Key takeaways
5- Australian chiropractors are AHPRA-registered (Chiropractic Board of Australia) and must hold professional indemnity insurance, comply with the Code of conduct and advertising guidelines, and retain patient health records for at least 7 years (longer for minors).
- GST treatment: chiropractic services by an AHPRA-registered practitioner are generally GST-free as a recognised health service; products sold (pillows, supports, supplements) are GST-taxable. The split is tracked per invoice line.
Show 3 moreShow less
- Funding sources to track separately: private fees, HICAPS health-fund extras claims processed at the terminal, DVA, NDIS (where the participant's plan funds chiropractic), and workers compensation. Chiropractic is not routinely Medicare-funded outside specific care-plan referrals.
- Common AU practice tools: Zanda (formerly Power Diary, priced in US dollars), Cliniko (US$45 to US$395 a month by practitioner count), Nookal (custom quote), Jane App (priced in US dollars). Most do not include accounting, so they are paired with Xero or MYOB.
- OneBookPlus is the all-in-one alternative for solo and small-group chiropractic clinics: bookings + re-care recalls + care-plan packs + AHPRA-aware records + GST/GST-free invoicing + HICAPS-aware gap billing + accounting + automated reminders + Google review automation, from $0/month (Free) to $69/month (Growth).
Built for chiropractors and allied health
From patient booking to re-care recalls, OneBookPlus handles the admin so you can focus on the adjustment, not the paperwork.
Patient booking system
Let patients book initial consults, standard adjustments, and specific visit types online. Real-time availability across your adjusting room means fewer phone calls and double-bookings.
Re-care recalls
Chiropractic runs on consistent re-care. Automated recalls bring patients back for their next adjustment so they finish the care plan instead of dropping off after they feel a bit better.
Care-plan packages
Invoice pre-paid visit packs and ongoing care plans up front, and log each visit against the patient record so the remaining balance is always in view, no clipboard tally.
Automated reminders
Reduce no-shows with automatic SMS and email appointment reminders. Sent 24 hours and 1 hour before the visit, fully customisable for your clinic's rhythm.
Treatment notes
Record timestamped notes, findings and care-plan progress against every patient record. Notes are free-form today, structured SOAP-format templates are on the roadmap.
HICAPS and GST invoicing
Raise invoices after each visit with your ABN and provider number. Track private, HICAPS health-fund, DVA and WorkCover payers in one place, with GST applied correctly on any supports you sell.

Who it's for
Sole practitioner or multi-chiro clinic
A sole practitioner, a multi-chiro clinic and a sports practice run very different weeks. Here is what each one uses.
Multi-chiro clinic
Managing several chiropractors, an adjusting room and a busy front desk. Needs scheduling across practitioners, shared patient records and daily reconciliation.
Sole practitioner
Running your own clinic with a focused patient base. Needs simple booking, recalls, treatment notes and streamlined invoicing with your ABN and provider number.
Sports and performance chiro
Working with athletes and active patients. Needs flexible scheduling, care-plan packs and clear progress notes across a course of care.
Wellness and family chiro
Long-term care plans across a family caseload. Needs re-care recalls, visit packs and retention reporting so patients finish their plans.

Example walkthrough
Tuesday, the front-desk half of a clinic day
An illustrative walkthrough of a typical clinic day, admin only
Your dashboard shows the day at 7:15am: a full adjusting list across two chiros, and three new patients who booked overnight through the clinic website, confirmation emails already sent.
Recall reminders went out overnight to patients who slipped off their care plans last week, and two rebook before morning tea. A regular calls to move his Thursday adjustment; reception finds him in the CRM, sees the care-plan pack noted on his record with four visits left, and moves the booking in two taps.
During visits, notes go straight onto each patient record. At checkout, the HICAPS rebate is processed at your terminal and the gap invoice goes out with GST handled correctly and your provider number on it.
At the end of the week you review the numbers: care-plan completion, no-shows, and a BAS summary that is already up to date.

One day, written by itself, an illustrated day of an Australian chiropractic clinic run on OneBookPlus
An illustrated day, not real customer data. Scroll through it from morning to 5pm: the AI receptionist answers and books a missed call, the work runs from the app, the GST invoice is sent on the spot, payment lands and the books balance themselves, a review invite is queued for the next daily run, and the day closes with the ledger already written.

While you're adjusting a patient
The locked-neck call you'd have missed.
A tradie's woken with a locked-up neck. He rings the first chiro on Google, you, mid-adjustment.
AI Receptionist
Answered mid-adjustment, booked for ten.
The AI answers in two rings, books a 10:00 am initial consult and emails the intake form, your patient never notices.
In the adjusting room
Intake done before the patient sits down.
Appointment card on your screen: intake done, history, complaint on file. Notes go straight into the record.
At checkout
Claimed and invoiced before he's left.
HICAPS rebate processed on the spot, the gap invoice goes out with your provider number, and his re-care visits are booked.
Between adjustments
Paid, and the supports GST is set aside.
Card payment lands, the books update themselves, and GST on the supports you sold is set aside for BAS.
The review invite
The review ask, once the neck frees up.
Once the payment clears, the AI asks for the review at the delay you set. Nothing for the front desk to remember.
The day closes itself
A full adjusting list, and the books to match.
You ran a full adjusting list and gained a new patient. The book did the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about chiropractic booking and practice management software.
What chiropractic software do Australian clinics use?
OneBookPlus is chiropractic practice management software built for Australia, online patient bookings, automated re-care recalls, pre-paid visit packs and care plans invoiced up front, timestamped treatment notes, HICAPS-aware invoicing and GST-correct billing in one app. It runs free for a small patient list and scales as your clinic grows, so a sole practitioner and a multi-chiro practice use the same platform.
Can patients book chiropractic appointments online 24/7?
Yes. Your branded booking page is available around the clock. Patients see real-time availability, pick a visit type, initial consult, re-exam or standard adjustment, choose a time, and confirm without calling reception.
Does it handle re-care recalls and care-plan packages?
Yes. Chiropractic care depends on patients returning for their scheduled visits. OneBookPlus sends automated recalls when a patient is due, and you can invoice pre-paid visit packs or ongoing care plans up front and log each visit against the patient record so the remaining balance stays in view.
Can OneBookPlus work with HICAPS for private-health rebates?
OneBookPlus is HICAPS-aware on the billing side: you process the patient's private-health rebate through your HICAPS terminal at the desk, then raise the gap invoice in OneBookPlus with your provider number and payer type recorded. It tracks private, HICAPS health-fund, DVA and WorkCover payments per invoice so your revenue reporting breaks down by payer. OneBookPlus does not lodge the health-fund claim itself, your HICAPS terminal or claiming software does that part.
How does OneBookPlus compare to Zanda (Power Diary) for chiropractors?
Zanda (formerly Power Diary) and Cliniko are established allied-health practice systems with deep clinical features and integrated claiming workflows. They're a strong fit if detailed claiming sits inside your practice software. OneBookPlus is the simpler, more affordable alternative for the booking and business side: online bookings, recalls, care-plan packs, patient notes, patient CRM, HICAPS-aware gap invoicing and built-in accounting, from $0/month. If you handle claiming in HICAPS or a separate tool, OneBookPlus is a genuine alternative; if you need claiming fully built into the clinical record, keep a dedicated system for that part.
Do chiropractors need to be registered, and does OneBookPlus support that?
Yes, chiropractors in Australia are registered health practitioners under AHPRA via the Chiropractic Board of Australia, must hold professional indemnity insurance, follow the Code of conduct and advertising guidelines, and retain patient health records (typically at least 7 years for adults, longer for minors). OneBookPlus keeps timestamped clinical notes and patient records against each profile to support your documentation obligations, it is a practice-management tool, not legal or compliance advice.
Does it handle GST invoicing and BAS reporting for chiropractic clinics?
Yes. Chiropractic services provided by an AHPRA-registered practitioner are generally GST-free as a recognised health service, while products you sell, pillows, supports, supplements, are GST-taxable. OneBookPlus applies GST correctly per invoice line, includes your ABN and provider number, and categorises income automatically so BAS preparation is straightforward.

Read the founder bioHow this page was researched
The compliance and licensing statements above are taken from the bodies this page links to, including AHPRA, the Chiropractic Board of Australia and HICAPS, so you can read the rule rather than take our word for it. Plan prices come from the OneBookPlus price registry, so the page and the checkout cannot disagree. Everything said about OneBookPlus describes what the product does today, and the page says so where it does not do something.
Your Complete Chiropractic Practice Workflow, From Booking to Re-Care
A chiropractic practice runs on a rhythm: patients book, you examine and adjust, you set a care plan, you invoice, and you bring them back for re-care until they've worked through the plan. OneBookPlus supports every stage of that rhythm, from the first online booking through to the recall that keeps a patient on plan rather than dropping off the moment they feel a little better.
Patient Booking & Intake
Patients find your clinic through Google, your website, or a friend's recommendation and book directly through your branded online booking page. They select from your defined visit types, initial consult, re-examination, standard adjustment, or extended visit, and choose an available time in real time. New patients complete a digital intake form capturing their contact details, presenting complaint, history, any imaging on file, health-fund information, and relevant medical conditions. This appears in their patient record before they walk through the door, so you can review the case before the consult rather than starting cold on a clipboard. Returning patients skip the intake and book their next visit in under thirty seconds.
Adjustments & Clinical Notes
During each visit, you record notes against the patient record, the subjective complaint, your findings, regions adjusted, techniques used, pain scales and functional measures, and the plan for next steps, in whatever structure suits your documentation style. If another chiropractor in your clinic sees the patient, they have full context from earlier visits, no verbal handovers, no sticky notes. Clinical notes are timestamped and stored securely against each patient record, supporting your AHPRA documentation obligations and record-retention requirements. Structured SOAP-format note templates are on the roadmap; until then the notes are free-form.
Care Plans, Visit Packs & Re-Care Recalls
Chiropractic outcomes depend on consistent re-care, and the single biggest leak in most clinics is patients who feel a bit better after a few visits and quietly stop coming before they've completed their plan. OneBookPlus closes that leak. Invoice pre-paid visit packs or structured care plans up front, and log each visit against the patient record so the remaining balance is always in view, no paper tally at the front desk. When a patient hasn't returned within the rebooking interval you set, recall reminders automatically email them a nudge with a direct link to your booking page, letting you reach patients who have slipped off plan before they become lost to the practice, the same retention mechanic that drives long-term clinic growth.
Invoicing, HICAPS & Payment Management
At checkout, OneBookPlus generates an invoice with your ABN and provider number. Chiropractic services from an AHPRA-registered practitioner are generally GST-free, and OneBookPlus handles mixed invoices correctly when you also sell GST-taxable products like pillows, supports or supplements. For patients with private-health extras cover, you process the rebate at your HICAPS terminal at the desk and raise the gap invoice in OneBookPlus, recording the payer type so your reporting breaks down by private, HICAPS health-fund, DVA, WorkCover or third-party insurer. (OneBookPlus is HICAPS-aware on the billing and reconciliation side; the health-fund claim itself is lodged by your terminal.) End-of-day and end-of-week summaries show billings, receipts and outstanding balances per practitioner, so practice owners have clear visibility without spreadsheet gymnastics, and the GST you've collected on products is set aside ready for BAS.
Reputation & Practice Growth
Growing a chiropractic practice comes down to keeping the patients you have on plan and attracting new ones. OneBookPlus supports both. After each visit, automatically request a Google review from satisfied patients at the right moment, building the online reputation that does the selling when someone searches "chiropractor near me." The CRM tracks how each patient found you, referral, Google, a community event, an existing patient's recommendation, so you know which channels actually drive new patients. Send targeted messages to inactive patients with a re-engagement prompt, or notify your base about a wellness check-in. Your booking page doubles as a lightweight website showcasing your services, fees and reviews, so every booking, recall and review compounds into a more sustainable practice, with the dashboard showing exactly where you stand at any point.
Focus on the Adjustment, Not the Admin
Let patients book online, bring them back with automated re-care recalls, and keep notes and HICAPS-aware invoicing organised, all while your books run on autopilot. Free to start.
