5Everything Your Practice Needs
From the first online booking to the rebate-ready invoice, OneBookPlus handles the admin so you can hold space for your clients — not your paperwork.
Let clients book initial consults, standard 50-minute sessions, and telehealth appointments online. Real-time availability cuts phone tag and double-bookings — and clients who'd rather not call still get to book.
Record session notes, case formulations, risk reviews, and treatment plans against each client. Access-controlled records help you meet your AHPRA documentation and confidentiality obligations between sessions.
Generate GST-free invoices with your AHPRA provider number, formatted so clients can lodge a Medicare rebate under their GP Mental Health Treatment Plan. Track which referral sessions have been used against the annual allocation.
Cut no-shows and protect your fee with automatic SMS and email reminders — sent 24 hours and 1 hour before each session. A missed session is income you can't recover, so this often pays for itself in a week.
Record which GPs, psychiatrists, EAP providers, and schools refer clients to you. Every client's history — sessions, referral, plan and invoices — lives on one record so you can pick up exactly where you left off.
Take card payments at the desk or by link, reconcile against the bank feed automatically, and keep psychology income GST-free while products attract GST correctly. Your P&L and BAS figures stay up to date all year.

Common questions about psychology practice management and booking software in Australia.
Yes — our free plan includes online bookings, a client CRM, secure session notes and GST-free invoicing for up to 5 active clients. It's a practical starting point for a sole-practitioner psychologist setting up in private practice. Upgrade as your caseload grows.
Yes. Your branded booking page is available around the clock and supports both in-person and telehealth session types. Clients see real-time availability, choose a session type and time, and confirm — which is especially valuable for clients who find it hard to make a phone call to book.
OneBookPlus generates GST-free invoices that include your AHPRA provider number and the details a client needs to lodge a Medicare rebate themselves under a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan (the Better Access initiative). It also tracks which of a client's referred sessions have been used against their annual allocation. OneBookPlus is not a Medicare claiming gateway — it produces compliant, rebate-ready invoices; clients claim their rebate through Medicare, or you can pair it with a dedicated claiming tool if you bulk-bill.
Yes. Session notes, case formulations and risk reviews are stored against each client record with access controls, supporting your AHPRA documentation and confidentiality obligations and the Australian Privacy Principles. Health records are generally retained for at least 7 years for adults (longer for clients who were minors at the time of the records).
Halaxy and Power Diary are well-known allied-health practice systems with deep clinical and integrated-claiming features. They're a strong fit if Medicare/HICAPS claiming sits inside your practice software. OneBookPlus is the simpler, more affordable alternative for the booking and business side: online and telehealth bookings, secure notes, referral tracking, a client CRM, GST-free rebate-ready invoicing and built-in accounting, from $0/month. If your billing is private fee-for-service or your clients self-claim their Medicare rebate, OneBookPlus is a genuine alternative; if you need claiming built directly into the software, keep a dedicated claiming tool for that part.
OneBookPlus is built for AHPRA-registered psychologists in private practice, but it doesn't change your regulatory obligations. You remain responsible for your registration with the Psychology Board of Australia, your scope of practice, informed consent, and record-keeping. The software simply makes the booking, notes, invoicing and accounting side easier so you can spend more time with clients.
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 psychologists and mental health practitioners across Australia, helping them simplify online and telehealth bookings, secure client notes, rebate invoicing, and practice management.
A private psychology practice runs on a rhythm: a client is referred or finds you online, books in, you assess and formulate, you work through a course of sessions, you invoice, and you bring them back until the work is done. OneBookPlus supports every stage of that rhythm — from the first online booking through to the gentle care-continuity reminder that helps clients complete their treatment rather than dropping off partway.
Clients find your practice through Google, your website, a directory profile, or a GP referral and book directly through your branded online booking page. They select from your defined session types — initial consult, standard 50-minute session, telehealth, couples or family session, report writing — and choose an available time in real time. For many clients, being able to book online without making a phone call removes a genuine barrier to seeking help. New clients complete a secure digital intake and consent form that captures their contact details, presenting concern, referring practitioner, any Mental Health Treatment Plan, and relevant history. This appears on their client record before the session, so you can prepare rather than spend the first ten minutes on forms.
During and after each session you record case notes — including risk reviews, formulations and treatment plans — against the client record. Notes are timestamped and stored with access controls, supporting your documentation obligations under the AHPRA Code of conduct and the confidentiality expectations clients rightly hold. Health records are generally retained for at least 7 years for adults, and longer for clients who were minors at the time of treatment, so the record stays available for as long as you are required to keep it. If another clinician in your practice sees the client, they have the context they need without verbal handovers — within whatever access boundaries you set.
At the end of each session, OneBookPlus generates a GST-free invoice with your ABN and AHPRA provider number — psychology services delivered by a registered practitioner are GST-free, while any physical products you sell are handled with GST correctly on the same invoice. For clients referred by their GP on a Mental Health Treatment Plan under the Better Access initiative, your invoice is formatted with the details they need to lodge a Medicare rebate (for up to 10 individual sessions per calendar year), and the system tracks how many of those referred sessions have been used. OneBookPlus is not a Medicare claiming gateway — clients self-claim their rebate, or you can keep a dedicated claiming tool if you bulk-bill — but it removes the manual work of producing a compliant, rebate-ready invoice every time. End-of-day and end-of-week summaries break revenue down by payer type: private, Medicare, NDIS, DVA, EAP or insurer.
Late cancellations and no-shows hurt a psychology practice more than most — the hour can't be resold, and the client misses care. Automated SMS and email reminders go out before each session to protect both. Beyond reminders, the care-continuity dashboard addresses the deeper pattern of clients improving a little and then stopping before the work is complete. When a client finishes a session without a follow-up booked, a gentle rebooking prompt is sent with a link to your booking page. For clients partway through a referred plan, you can see at a glance who is mid-course with no next appointment, so your team can reach out. Combined with referral source tracking — seeing which GPs, psychiatrists, schools and EAP providers send clients your way — you get the full picture of your client pipeline, from first referral through to a considered discharge.
Sign up free — no credit card, no lock-in. Add your session types, fees, telehealth slots and AHPRA provider number, then publish your booking page and share the link on your website and directory profiles. Import your existing client list via CSV from Halaxy, Power Diary, Cliniko or a spreadsheet, and connect your bank account so payments reconcile automatically. Most practices are taking online bookings within minutes and have their books running by the end of the day. OneBookPlus doesn't change your professional or regulatory obligations as a registered psychologist — it simply takes the admin off your plate so more of your day belongs to your clients.
Let clients book online and via telehealth, reduce no-shows with reminders, keep secure notes, and send rebate-ready invoices — all while your accounting runs on autopilot. Free to start.

Who it's for
Whether you're a sole practitioner or running a multi-clinician practice, OneBookPlus adapts to your workflow.
Running your own private practice with a focused caseload. Needs simple booking, secure notes, and rebate-ready invoicing with your AHPRA provider number.
Managing several psychologists and rooms. Needs scheduling across clinicians, access-controlled client records, and per-practitioner reconciliation.
Seeing clients online or in their community. Needs telehealth-aware bookings, on-the-go notes, and invoicing from anywhere.
Delivering psychology under NDIS plans or EAP contracts. Needs to track funding source, sessions used, and referral origin per client.
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 private-practice psychologist uses OneBookPlus on a typical weekday
The day's caseload is already on the dashboard at 8am — six sessions, two of them telehealth. A new client booked overnight through the practice website on a GP Mental Health Treatment Plan referral and received an automatic confirmation with secure intake and consent forms.
A regular client texts to move their session. Reception finds them in the CRM, sees their referral and how many of their plan sessions remain, and reschedules in two taps. The client gets an updated confirmation automatically.
During each session the psychologist records secure case notes against the client record. At checkout, invoices go out GST-free with the AHPRA provider number — formatted so the client can lodge their Medicare rebate.
At the end of the week, the practice reviews referral sources — Dr. Nguyen's clinic sent four new clients this month — and the care-continuity dashboard flags two clients midway through a plan with no follow-up booked. The BAS summary is already up to date.
