6Everything Your Practice Needs
From online booking to progress notes, NDIS-aware invoicing and mobile home-visit billing, OneBookPlus handles the admin so you can focus on participant outcomes.
Let participants, families, support coordinators and GPs book initial assessments, reviews, equipment trials and therapy sessions online. Set durations for clinic, home, school and telehealth so the right slot is reserved every time.
Keep structured clinical notes, assessment outcomes and goal progress against each participant record — functional assessments, equipment trials, home-modification recommendations, therapy-plan reviews — accessible between visits and ready for reporting.
Raise invoices against the correct NDIS support item and reference number, billed to self-managed participants, plan managers or recorded for agency-managed claiming. Itemise therapy, report-writing and provider travel as separate lines.
Most OT happens in homes, schools, workplaces and aged-care facilities — not a clinic. Book, note and invoice from a phone or tablet at the point of care, capture provider-travel time, and let the dashboard sync when you're back on signal.
Track how much of each participant's plan budget and funded therapy hours have been used so a plan never quietly over-spends. See remaining capacity at a glance before booking the next block of sessions.
Income is categorised automatically as it's billed and your BAS summary stays up to date. OT services from an AHPRA-registered practitioner are generally GST-free, while assistive products you on-sell may be GST-taxable — tracked correctly per line.

Scroll through the day 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 five-star review is requested automatically, and the day closes with the ledger already written.
8:00am
Before the first home visit
Four NDIS participants on the schedule — two home visits, a school visit and a clinic session. Each appointment card shows the participant's goals, plan-manager and last progress note.
In the participant's home
You complete a home-modification assessment and write your clinical note on the tablet — bathroom rails, ramp recommendation, equipment trial — straight into the participant's record.
Before you drive off
One tap raises an invoice against the right NDIS support item and price-limit, billed to the plan manager — no end-of-day data entry, no forgotten travel claim.
Between sessions
The plan manager's payment lands, the books update themselves, and your remaining funded sessions for this participant tick down so the plan never over-spends.
Report day
Every visit this fortnight is documented against each participant's goals — so the NDIS progress report writes itself from notes you captured at the point of care.

Common questions about occupational therapy booking, notes and NDIS invoicing software.
OneBookPlus is occupational therapy software built for Australia — online bookings across clinic, home, school and telehealth settings, progress notes against participant goals, NDIS-aware invoicing with support-item tracking, mobile/home-visit billing, and BAS-ready accounting in one app. It runs free for a small caseload and scales as you grow, so a sole-practitioner OT and a multi-therapist practice use the same platform. Cliniko, coreplus, Halaxy, Nookal and Power Diary are the well-known allied-health systems; OneBookPlus is the simpler, more affordable all-in-one alternative for the booking, notes and business side.
Yes. You raise each invoice against the relevant NDIS support item and reference, and bill self-managed participants or plan managers directly, or keep a clean record for agency-managed claiming through the myplace provider portal. Therapy, report-writing and provider travel are itemised as separate lines, and you track how much of each participant's plan budget and funded hours have been used. OneBookPlus keeps your bookings, notes, invoicing and accounting aligned with NDIS Pricing Arrangements — claiming through the PACE/myplace portal still happens on the NDIS side; OneBookPlus is the practice record behind it.
Yes — and it's built for it. Most OT happens in participants' homes, schools, workplaces and aged-care facilities. You can book, write progress notes, capture provider-travel time and raise an invoice from a phone or tablet at the point of care, then the dashboard syncs when you're back on signal. No more carrying a clipboard and re-keying everything into a desktop system that night.
Occupational therapy provided by an AHPRA-registered occupational therapist is generally GST-free as a recognised health service, while assistive technology and products you on-sell may be GST-taxable. OneBookPlus tracks the split per invoice line so your BAS is correct without manual sorting. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm your specific GST treatment with your accountant or the ATO.
coreplus, Power Diary, Cliniko and Halaxy are established allied-health practice systems with deep clinical and claiming features. They're a strong fit if integrated Medicare/NDIS claiming and detailed clinical tooling sit inside your practice software. OneBookPlus is the simpler, more affordable alternative for the booking, progress-notes and business side: online bookings across settings, notes against goals, participant CRM, NDIS-aware invoicing, mobile/home-visit billing and BAS-ready accounting, from $0/month. If you handle NDIS claiming in the provider portal and want one all-in-one tool for everything around it, OneBookPlus is a genuine coreplus and Power Diary alternative; if you need claiming and clinical assessments built in, keep a dedicated clinical system for that part.
Yes. Occupational therapy is a registered profession in Australia — practising OTs must be registered with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia through AHPRA, hold professional indemnity insurance, meet the Board's CPD and recency-of-practice standards, comply with the Code of conduct, and retain client health records (generally at least 7 years for adults, longer for minors). OneBookPlus keeps your bookings, notes and invoicing organised in support of those obligations — it doesn't replace your professional and regulatory responsibilities.
About the author
Founder & CEO, OneBookPlus
Bishal has over a decade of experience in digital marketing, web development, and small business consulting across Australia. He has worked with occupational therapists and allied health professionals across Australia, helping them simplify bookings, progress notes, NDIS invoicing, and mobile home-visit practice management.
An occupational therapy practice runs on a rhythm that rarely sits in one place: a participant or their support coordinator books, you assess — often in their home, school or workplace — you set goals and a therapy plan, you deliver sessions and equipment trials, you write progress notes against those goals, and you invoice the funding source. OneBookPlus supports every stage of that rhythm, whether you're a sole practitioner doing home visits or a multi-therapist clinic, so the admin keeps up with you instead of piling up for the evening.
Participants, families, support coordinators and GPs find your practice and book directly through your branded online booking page. They select from your defined appointment types — initial assessment, functional capacity assessment, home-modification assessment, equipment trial, therapy session, or telehealth review — and the right duration is reserved for clinic, home, school or online. New participants complete a digital intake and consent form capturing contact details, goals, diagnosis, plan-management type (self-managed, plan-managed or agency-managed) and referral source, so it's in their record before the first visit. That means your run sheet for a day spread across three suburbs is sorted before you leave the driveway.
OT is goal-driven and report-heavy, so documentation matters. During each visit you record structured progress notes against the participant's goals on a phone or tablet at the point of care — functional assessment findings, equipment trials, home-modification recommendations, intervention delivered, and the plan for next time. Notes are timestamped and stored securely against the participant record, supporting your AHPRA documentation obligations and the 7-year health-record retention requirement. Because every visit is documented against goals as you go, the NDIS progress reports and review documentation that usually eat an evening are drawn from notes you captured in the moment — not reconstructed from memory at 9pm.
At the end of each visit, OneBookPlus generates an invoice with your ABN and provider details. You raise it against the relevant NDIS support item and price limit, and bill the self-managed participant or plan manager directly — or keep a clean record for agency-managed claiming through the provider portal. Therapy time, report-writing and provider travel are itemised as separate lines so nothing funded is left off. OT services from an AHPRA-registered occupational therapist are generally GST-free as recognised health services, while assistive technology or products you on-sell may be GST-taxable — OneBookPlus handles these mixed invoices correctly, line by line, so your BAS is right without manual sorting. The system tracks how much of each participant's plan budget and funded hours have been used, so you can see remaining capacity before booking the next block and the plan never quietly over-spends. NDIS claiming itself still runs through the PACE/myplace provider portal; OneBookPlus is the practice record that keeps bookings, notes, invoicing and accounting aligned with it.
Most occupational therapy happens away from a clinic — in homes, schools, workplaces and aged-care facilities. OneBookPlus is built for that reality: book, note, capture provider-travel time and invoice from your phone or tablet at the point of care, and let the dashboard sync when you're back on signal. A day that crosses several sites doesn't become a night of catch-up data entry — the record is complete by the time you get home.
Growing an OT practice comes down to relationships with referrers — GPs, support coordinators, schools and plan managers — and the reputation you build with the families you help. OneBookPlus supports both. After a visit, automatically request a Google review from satisfied participants and families, building the online reputation that wins the next person searching "occupational therapist near me." Referral source tracking shows which coordinators and GPs send participants your way, so you know which professional relationships to nurture. The dashboard ties it together — bookings, notes, funding usage, referrers and BAS-ready financials in one place — so you always know exactly where the practice stands.
Let participants and referrers book online, write progress notes against goals at the point of care, and raise NDIS-aware invoices on the kerb — all while your accounting and BAS run on autopilot. Free to start.

Who it's for
Whether you're a sole practitioner doing home visits or running a multi-therapist clinic, OneBookPlus adapts to your workflow.
Seeing participants at home, school or in aged care. Needs on-the-go booking, point-of-care notes against goals, provider-travel capture, and NDIS invoicing from a phone or tablet.
Running your own caseload with a focused participant list. Needs simple booking, progress notes, NDIS-aware invoicing with your ABN and provider details, and BAS-ready accounting.
Managing several OTs across clinic, home and telehealth. Needs scheduling across practitioners, shared participant records, funding tracking and daily reconciliation.
Working with children across home, school and clinic. Needs goal-based notes, family and support-coordinator booking, and clear plan-budget tracking per participant.
Stop overpaying
Most small businesses stitch together 4-6 tools that don't talk to each other. Here's what that typically costs.
Real-world scenario
How a mobile OT uses OneBookPlus across home, school and clinic
Maya checks her OneBookPlus dashboard at 8:05am — four NDIS participants today across three sites: two home visits, a school visit and a clinic session. Each appointment card shows the participant's goals, plan-management type and last progress note, so she can plan her run before she's left the driveway.
At 9:30am she completes a home-modification assessment in a participant's lounge room — bathroom rails, a ramp recommendation, an equipment trial. She writes the clinical note against the participant's goals on her tablet, straight into the record. Before she drives off, she raises an NDIS invoice against the right support item, itemises provider travel, and bills the plan manager — no end-of-day data entry.
During the day she sees a child at school and a participant at the clinic, noting progress against each person's goals as she goes. The system tracks how many funded sessions remain on each plan so nothing over-spends.
By mid-afternoon the plan manager's payment has landed and the books have updated themselves. Because every visit this fortnight is already documented against goals, Maya's NDIS progress reports practically write themselves — and her BAS summary is already up to date. OT services are GST-free; an assistive-equipment line she on-sold is flagged GST-taxable automatically.
