Software for Clinics

Brisbane-based custom software for Australian medical and allied health clinics — built around your existing practice management system, not replacing it. Privacy Act and APP-aligned, with the audit logging and access controls clinical compliance actually requires.

What we build for clinics

  • Online booking with conflict-free PMS write-back
  • Digital pre-appointment intake replacing paper / PDF emails
  • Secure clinician messaging for multi-disciplinary teams
  • Patient portals — results, appointments, secure document upload
  • Custom outcome reporting and case-mix analytics
  • Triage tools for allied health (mental health, physio, podiatry)
  • Multi-site clinic operations dashboards
  • Telehealth wrappers around Daily.co / Twilio Video with clinical workflow

Privacy, security, and Australian regulation

Clinical software is a higher-stakes build than most. We default to:

  • Australian-region data residency (Sydney/Melbourne) — never US default
  • Encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3)
  • Audit logs of every access to patient data, retained for 7 years
  • Role-based access control with least-privilege defaults
  • MFA on all clinician accounts
  • Breach detection and notification capability per APP 11 / NDB scheme
  • Written privacy and security posture suitable for insurer and regulator review

Where the work touches My Health Records or pathology integrations, additional vetting and compliance applies. We'll discuss specific regulatory requirements on the discovery call rather than guessing.

The PMS-around-not-replacing approach

Best Practice, Medical Director, Cliniko, Halaxy each have decades of clinical workflow encoded into them. Replacing them is rarely the right call for any SMB clinic — the rebuild cost is substantial and the regulatory burden of running a primary clinical system is significant. What we build is the layer around: better intake, custom reporting, patient portals, integrations to your billing and the rest of your business systems.

Software for Australian medical clinics — FAQ

Almost never — and we'll tell you that. The PMS is the centre of clinical operations and replacing it is a multi-year, multi-million-dollar effort that we don't recommend for any SMB clinic. What we build is the layer around the PMS: better intake, smarter triage, patient portals, custom reporting, integrations with the rest of your business systems. The PMS keeps doing what it does well; custom software fills the gaps it doesn't.
We build to Australian Privacy Principles, the My Health Records Act provisions where relevant, and state Health Records legislation (HRIPA in NSW, HRA in VIC, similar in other states). Practical implications: data residency in Australian regions, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logs of who accessed what, role-based access, breach notification capability. Every engagement for a clinic includes a written privacy and security posture document.
Yes — these are the most common integration targets we work with. Best Practice has limited but workable APIs. Medical Director has its own integration paths. Cliniko and Halaxy have well-documented modern APIs that make integration straightforward. We've also worked with Genie, MedicalDirector Helix, Front Desk, and various pathology and radiology systems.
Online booking systems with PMS write-back. Pre-appointment digital intake replacing paper forms. Secure clinician messaging and team workflow. Patient portals for results, appointments, secure document upload. Custom reporting and analytics across patient outcomes. Triage tools for allied health (mental health, physio, podiatry). Multi-site clinic operations dashboards.
We've built telehealth for several allied health clinics — typically using third-party WebRTC infrastructure (Daily.co, Twilio Video) for the video transport, with our custom layer handling clinical workflow, billing, consent, recording controls, and PMS integration. Building video transport from scratch is a bad use of money for any clinic-scale project.
