01
Appointment management across Sydney's busiest clinics
From Parramatta to Bondi Junction, Sydney allied health practices deal with dense appointment books, multi-practitioner schedules, and patients who expect same-week availability. Your calendar needs someone watching it full-time — not squeezing it in between patient handovers.
In practice
A four-practitioner physiotherapy practice in Parramatta runs back-to-back initial assessments, follow-ups, and group hydrotherapy sessions across two locations. Their front desk is overwhelmed by 6pm every day, with 15+ voicemails unheard and a waitlist that never gets actioned. Within three weeks of onboarding, our team takes over the full diary — rebooking cancellations within the hour, managing the waitlist in real time, and ensuring new patients are onboarded with intake forms completed before they walk in.
What we handle
- Diary optimisation across multiple practitioners and locations
- Waitlist management with same-day gap filling
- Cancellation follow-up within 2 hours
- New patient onboarding and intake form coordination
- After-hours booking management via online booking platforms
02
NDIS claims and plan management for NSW providers
New South Wales has the largest share of NDIS participants in the country — over 200,000. If your Sydney practice provides NDIS services, the administrative burden of service agreements, progress notes, and portal submissions can consume hours every week.
In practice
A Western Sydney occupational therapy practice supports 60+ active NDIS participants. Their clinicians spend Friday afternoons catching up on service agreements and claim submissions instead of treating patients. Our team takes over the full NDIS admin cycle — preparing service agreements from plan documents, formatting progress notes to meet NDIA requirements, submitting claims through the portal within 48 hours of service delivery, and flagging upcoming plan reviews so nothing expires without action.
What we handle
- NDIS portal submissions and claim processing
- Service agreement preparation and management
- Progress note formatting to NDIA standards
- Plan review preparation and timeline tracking
- SIRA workers compensation claims for NSW patients
03
Recall campaigns that keep Sydney patients returning
Sydney patients have options. When they stop showing up, they are not sitting at home — they are walking into the practice down the road. A structured recall campaign is the difference between a full book and a leaking one.
In practice
A North Shore podiatry clinic with 4,000+ patient records discovers that 38% of their diabetic foot care patients have not returned within the recommended six-month window. Our team builds a targeted recall campaign in Cliniko — identifying overdue patients by condition and last visit date, sending personalised SMS sequences, and following up with a phone call for high-priority patients. Within two months, 220 patients are rebooked and the clinic adds $34,000 in recovered revenue.
What we handle
- Overdue patient identification by condition and timeframe
- SMS and email recall sequences via Cliniko
- Birthday and annual check-up reminders
- Lapsed patient re-engagement campaigns
- Referrer relationship follow-ups and thank-you correspondence
04
Inbox triage and correspondence for multi-practitioner practices
A busy Sydney allied health group can receive 80+ emails a day — referral letters, pathology results, insurance queries, patient questions, and internal messages between practitioners. Without someone triaging, critical items get buried.
In practice
An Eastern Suburbs allied health group with six practitioners across physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and dietetics has a shared inbox with 400+ unread emails. Referral letters from GPs sit unactioned for days. Insurance pre-approvals expire because nobody followed up. Our team implements an inbox-zero workflow — categorising every email by urgency and type, routing referrals to the right practitioner within the hour, and following up on outstanding correspondence before it becomes a problem.
What we handle
- Inbox zero management with priority categorisation
- Referral letter processing and practitioner allocation
- Pathology and imaging result follow-up
- Inter-practitioner communication and message routing
- Insurance correspondence and pre-approval tracking
05
End-of-day reconciliation and billing support
If your Sydney practice is not reconciling billing at the end of every day, money is slipping through the cracks. Medicare claims missed, HICAPS gaps not followed up, invoices sitting unsent — it compounds fast.
In practice
An Inner West physiotherapy practice processes 120+ appointments per week across Medicare, NDIS, private health, and self-funded patients. Their end-of-day billing takes 90 minutes because the practitioner doing it keeps getting interrupted. Our team takes over daily reconciliation — matching every appointment to an invoice, processing Medicare bulk bill claims same-day, tracking HICAPS gap payments, and chasing outstanding invoices at 7, 14, and 30 days. Within the first month, they recover $8,200 in unbilled sessions.
What we handle
- Daily billing reconciliation against appointment book
- Medicare bulk bill processing and claim submission
- HICAPS gap payment tracking and follow-up
- Outstanding invoice follow-up at 7, 14, and 30 days
- Monthly revenue reporting and billing summary for practice owners
Built for NSW allied health compliance
HCCC & HPCA awareness
New South Wales has its own complaints handling framework through the Health Care Complaints Commission and the Health Professional Councils Authority. Our team understands this regulatory context and handles admin tasks with awareness of NSW-specific reporting and documentation requirements.
NDIS portal compliance
With over 200,000 NDIS participants in NSW — more than any other state — getting service agreements, progress notes, and claims processing right is critical. Our team manages portal submissions to NDIA standards, ensuring your documentation meets audit requirements and claims are processed without rejection.
SIRA workers compensation
NSW's State Insurance Regulatory Authority governs workers compensation claims for allied health providers. Our team understands SIRA requirements for treatment approvals, progress reporting, and claim documentation — ensuring your practice meets compliance obligations without administrative bottlenecks.
Common questions from Sydney practices
Do your virtual assistants understand Cliniko workflows?
Yes. Our team is trained specifically in Cliniko — the practice management system used by the majority of Australian allied health clinics. From appointment scheduling and patient record management to automated recalls and billing, Cliniko workflows are part of our daily operations. We also work with other systems where needed, but Cliniko is our core platform.
Can you handle NDIS claims for my Sydney practice?
Yes. We manage the full NDIS administrative cycle — from preparing service agreements and formatting progress notes to submitting claims through the NDIS portal and tracking plan review dates. Our team understands the NDIA requirements for documentation and ensures claims are submitted within 48 hours of service delivery to keep your cash flow consistent.
How does timezone coverage work for Sydney practices?
Our Philippines-based team works Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) business hours. That means when your Sydney practice opens at 8am, your virtual assistant is already online and working. We align our shifts to your clinic hours so there is no lag in responsiveness — your patients and referrers get same-day replies, and your end-of-day reconciliation is done before you leave.
What suburbs in Sydney do you support?
We support practices across Greater Sydney — from Parramatta and Blacktown in the west to Bondi Junction in the east, Chatswood and Hornsby on the North Shore, and growing corridors in South West Sydney like Liverpool and Campbelltown. We also work with practices in the Central Coast, Wollongong, and Newcastle regions. Location does not limit what we can do — our support is fully remote.
How quickly can a virtual assistant start?
Typically 2-3 weeks from your initial conversation. That includes a discovery call to understand your practice, a tailored onboarding plan, Cliniko access setup, and a structured first-week training period where your dedicated team member learns your specific workflows, practitioner preferences, and patient communication style. By week three, they are operating independently.
Your Sydney practice runs on Cliniko.
Your admin should too.
