Key takeaways
5- Australian physiotherapists are AHPRA-registered (Physiotherapy Board of Australia) and must hold professional indemnity ($2m+ typical), comply with the Code of conduct, and retain patient health records for at least 7 years (longer for minors).
- GST treatment: physiotherapy services provided by an AHPRA-registered practitioner are GST-free (medical services); products sold (orthotics, supports) are GST-taxable. The split is tracked per invoice line.
Show 3 moreShow less
- Funding sources to track separately: private fees, HICAPS health-fund claims (extras cover), Medicare CDM (Chronic Disease Management) plans (5 sessions/year), DVA, NDIS (under Allied Health support category), and workers compensation.
- Common AU practice tools: Cliniko (US$45 to US$395 a month by practitioner count), Power Diary (priced in US dollars), Halaxy (free tier plus transaction fees), Nookal (custom quote). Vendor prices verified 2 August 2026. 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 physio practices: bookings + patient records and notes + GST/GST-free invoicing + accounting + automated reminders + Google review automation, from $0/month (Free) to $69/month (Growth). Health-fund claiming (HICAPS) stays in your terminal or claiming tool.

Example walkthrough
Tuesday, the clinic admin between patients
An illustrative walkthrough of a typical clinic admin day
You open the dashboard before the first appointment and the day is already laid out: the schedule across every practitioner rostered on, and the bookings that came in overnight through the clinic website, each one confirmed by email with the intake form attached.
A patient calls to reschedule. Reception finds the record, sees the appointment history, and moves the slot in two taps. The updated confirmation goes out automatically.
Through the day, session notes are recorded against the patient record rather than on paper. At checkout the invoice raises with GST and the provider number on it, in the format private health funds expect.
At the end of the week you review the admin numbers: appointments completed, invoices out, payments in, and what is still unpaid. The BAS summary has been building itself the whole time, so there is no weekend spreadsheet session to catch up on.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about physiotherapy booking and practice management software.
Is OneBookPlus physiotherapy software free?
Yes, our free plan includes patient bookings, CRM, 10 invoices and 5 quotes a month, and up to 250 patient contacts. Perfect for sole practitioners or physios just starting a practice. Upgrade to Starter ($29/mo) for unlimited invoicing as your patient list grows.
Can patients book physio appointments online?
Absolutely. Your branded booking page is available around the clock. Patients see real-time availability, pick a consultation type, choose a time, and confirm, reducing the load on your reception team.
Does the physiotherapy booking system support treatment notes?
You can record free-form, timestamped notes against every patient record, stored securely and accessible before each consultation. Structured SOAP-format note templates are on the roadmap; if you need deep clinical templating today, a dedicated clinical system like Cliniko pairs well with OneBookPlus handling the bookings and billing side.
Can I track referrals from GPs and specialists?
You can record which GP, specialist, or allied health professional referred each patient in their record, so the context is there at every session. A dedicated referral-source report is on the roadmap.
Does physio billing produce a BAS-ready GST summary?
OneBookPlus generates GST-compliant invoices with your ABN and provider number included. Income is categorised automatically, making BAS preparation straightforward, whether you're a sole practitioner or running a multi-therapist clinic.
What is the best physiotherapy practice software in Australia, and is OneBookPlus a Cliniko alternative?
Cliniko, Nookal and Jane App are the well-known allied-health practice systems, with deep clinical features like detailed treatment-note templates and integrated Medicare/HICAPS claiming. They're a strong fit if claiming sits inside your practice software. OneBookPlus is the simpler, more affordable alternative for the booking and business side: online bookings, patient notes, recall reminders, patient CRM and GST-aware invoicing, from $0/month. If your billing is private or you handle Medicare/HICAPS in a separate claiming tool, OneBookPlus is a genuine Cliniko alternative; if you need claiming built in, keep a dedicated clinical system for that part.
Is OneBookPlus full physiotherapy practice management software, or just a booking system?
It covers the practice management essentials for the business side of a clinic: online bookings, a patient CRM with notes and referrer details, automated appointment reminders, recall nudges for lapsed patients, GST-free invoicing with your ABN and provider number, and built-in accounting with P&L and BAS-ready reports. The pieces it deliberately leaves to dedicated clinical systems are in-software Medicare/HICAPS claiming and structured clinical templating. For a private-billing clinic that makes OneBookPlus a complete practice management system; for a claiming-heavy clinic, it runs the bookings and money while your claiming tool handles the rebates.

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, HICAPS and the NDIA price guide, 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 Physio Practice Workflow, From Patient Booking to Recall
A physiotherapy practice runs on a rhythm: patients book, you assess, you treat, you prescribe exercises, you invoice, and you bring them back for follow-up until they've recovered. OneBookPlus supports every stage of that rhythm, from the first online booking through to the recall reminder that ensures patients complete their treatment plans rather than dropping off after the initial improvement.
Patient Booking & Intake
Patients find your clinic through Google, your website, or a GP referral and book directly through your branded online booking page. They select from your defined appointment types, initial assessment, standard follow-up, extended consultation, dry needling, Pilates class, or any custom service you offer, and choose an available time slot in real time. New patients complete a digital intake form that captures their contact details, injury history, referring practitioner, health fund information, and any relevant medical conditions. This information appears in their patient record before they walk through the door, so you can review their case before the consultation rather than spending the first ten minutes on paperwork. Returning patients skip the intake and book their next session in under thirty seconds.
Treatment Sessions & Clinical Notes
During each session, you record notes against the patient record, subjective complaints, findings, measurements like range of motion or pain scales, and the plan for next steps, in whatever structure suits your documentation style. If another physio in your clinic sees the patient, they have the context from previous sessions, no verbal handovers, no sticky notes. Notes are timestamped and stored securely against each patient record, supporting your AHPRA documentation obligations and providing evidence of the care pathway if ever queried by insurers or referrers. Structured SOAP-format note templates are on the roadmap; until then the notes are free-form.
Exercise Sheets & Home Programs
Keep each patient's home exercise sheets and treatment plans attached to their record, so the current version is on hand at every session and nothing lives only on a printout. When a patient returns, you review what they were prescribed last time and adjust the plan in their notes. A dedicated home-exercise-program builder, structured exercises with sets, reps and progressions, shared through the patient portal, is on the roadmap; today the portal covers invoices and bookings, and exercise programs travel as attachments and notes.
Invoicing & Payment Management
At the end of each consultation, OneBookPlus generates a GST-compliant invoice with your ABN and provider number. Physiotherapy services are generally GST-free, and OneBookPlus handles mixed invoices correctly when you also sell products or run classes that attract GST. Patients can pay at the desk or receive their invoice by email for later payment. Record the payer, private, Medicare CDM plan, DVA, health fund, WorkCover, or third-party insurer, on each invoice so you can see where revenue comes from. For patients on a GP Management Plan, keep the session count in the patient's notes so the annual allocation never surprises you. End-of-day and end-of-week financial summaries show billings, receipts, and outstanding balances per therapist, giving practice owners clear visibility without spreadsheet gymnastics.
Recall & Patient Retention
Physiotherapy has a dropout problem, patients start feeling better after a few sessions and stop coming before they've fully recovered, only to re-injure themselves weeks later. Recall reminders address this directly: set a rebooking interval for your clinic, and patients who haven't returned within it are automatically emailed a nudge with a direct link to your booking page, say, three or six months after a completed course of treatment to prompt a maintenance review. With the referring practitioner noted on each record, you also keep sight of which GPs and specialists send patients your way, from first referral through to discharge and beyond.
Physiotherapy Practice Management Software, the Australian Way
Search for physiotherapy practice management software in Australia and most of what you find is clinical software priced per practitioner, with accounting sold separately and reviews or marketing left to a third tool. OneBookPlus takes the opposite approach: one subscription covers the booking, patient and money side of the clinic, so a solo physio or a small group practice runs on a single system instead of a stack of three or four.
The practice management basics are all here. Patients book online against your real appointment types (initial assessment, standard consult, dry needling, classes), reminders go out automatically 24 hours and 1 hour before each session, and recall nudges chase patients who drop off mid-treatment-plan. Every patient record carries timestamped notes, the referring GP or specialist, attachments and full visit history. On the money side, invoices respect the GST-free status of physiotherapy services while still handling taxable product lines, and accounting, P&L and BAS-ready reports are built in, so there is no separate Xero subscription to pay for or reconcile against.
What OneBookPlus deliberately leaves out is in-software Medicare and HICAPS claiming and deep clinical templating. Those are the features dedicated systems like Cliniko charge a per-practitioner fee for, and if your billing is mostly private, or claiming already happens in your HICAPS terminal, you may be paying for capability you never use. For a feature-by-feature look at where each tool fits, read the OneBookPlus vs Cliniko comparison.
Pricing follows the same philosophy: a free plan for up to 250 patient contacts, Starter at $29/month and Growth at $69/month, with no per-practitioner seat fees as your clinic adds physios. And because it is built for Australian practices, GST treatment, BAS reporting, ABNs and provider numbers are first-class citizens rather than afterthoughts.
