Websites for physios, podiatrists, OTs, speech pathologists, dietitians and exercise physiologists from the Peninsula to the northern lakes, with clear, large text, the towns you visit spelled out and booking that works for clients and the family members who help them.
The Coast has an older population than NSW overall, a long list of towns rather than one centre, and its own health district and GP referral pathways. A practice site here should be easy to read for someone in their seventies, precise about where you visit, and straightforward for a GP's staff making a referral.
Large type, strong contrast, plain buttons and the phone number at the top of every page. Plenty of clients will ring rather than book online, and the site should make ringing as easy as tapping Book.
When a son or daughter books for a parent, they need to know what to bring, whether they can come into the appointment, how long it runs and what the gap will be after any rebate. A short section for carers and family answers those before they're asked.
If you visit homes or residential aged care, list the towns you cover, from Woy Woy and Umina Beach through Erina and Terrigal to Tuggerah, The Entrance, Toukley and Lake Haven, and say whether a travel fee applies.
Step-free entry, parking close to the door, a lift if you're upstairs, and a seat in the waiting room. For someone recovering from a hip replacement or using a walking frame, those details decide whether they book.
Medicare chronic condition plans, DVA, private health with on-the-spot claiming, and the NDIS for younger clients: a short plain section for each one you accept, with what the client pays.
What a referral should include, how to send it, the conditions you see most (falls, joint replacements, diabetes foot care, swallowing or communication after a stroke) and your current wait, all on one page.
NSW-specific rules apply here as they do across the state. Complaints about registered practitioners are dealt with by the Health Professional Councils Authority and the HCCC instead of Ahpra; speech pathologists, dietitians, exercise physiologists and other non-registered practitioners work under a NSW code of conduct that must be displayed; and SIRA approves practitioners for workers compensation treatment. We've set those out, with links to each regulator, on our Sydney allied health page.
The Coast's age profile is what sets it apart. At the 2021 Census the median age in the Central Coast council area was 43, four years above the NSW median of 39. For allied health that points to work such as falls prevention, rehabilitation after joint replacements, diabetic foot care, home modification assessments and visits to aged care homes, and to a website written and laid out for older readers and for the family members who may be doing the searching.
One council has covered the whole region since the merger of Gosford and Wyong on 12 May 2016, but people still search by town. A client types Gosford, Erina, Terrigal, Kincumber, Woy Woy, Umina Beach, Wyong, Tuggerah, The Entrance, Bateau Bay, Toukley, Lake Haven or Budgewoi, usually alongside “physio” or “podiatrist”. A clinic page that names its own town and the neighbouring ones it draws from, and a mobile service that lists every town it reaches, matches what those people type.
Public health care is run by Central Coast Local Health District, which covers the area between Sydney and the Hunter Valley and runs public hospitals at Gosford, Wyong, Woy Woy and Long Jetty. Primary care support comes from the Hunter New England and Central Coast PHN, whose area stretches from Gosford to Taree and inland to Tenterfield and Moree. The Coast keeps its own HealthPathways site, launched in 2013 and built by local clinicians, which sets out local management and referral options for general practice. Your referral page should give a GP's staff the practical part that follows: what to send, where and how soon.
We're an Adelaide team and work with Coast practices by phone and email. One of our NSW clients, Phoenix Housekeeping, cleans across the Central Coast and offers NDIS cleans; it isn't a health business, but its suburb-by-suburb pages show how a mobile service can set out where it goes.
There's no allied health clinic in our portfolio yet. Phoenix Housekeeping works on the Coast, and Golden Years Aged Care Support in Adelaide was built for older readers and the providers who refer them.
Cleaning across the Central Coast, Lake Macquarie and Cessnock, including NDIS and end-of-lease cleans. Prices are published, each suburb served has its own page, and the quote form offers a discreet call-back for clients who'd rather not ring.

Suits a home-visiting or sole practice
$399
A home-visiting or sole practitioner: what you treat, the towns you visit, fees and rebates, Medicare and DVA details, your phone number in large type and a booking button.
$899
A clinic: home, services and fees, and a practitioners page, plus a section for family members and carers booking on someone else's behalf.
$1,499
Two or more Coast clinics or several disciplines: a page per location and discipline, the team, funding, a GP referral page and a page on aged care home visits.
Bigger text, stronger contrast, fewer menu items and nothing that moves or plays on its own. The phone number sits at the top of every page as a tap-to-call button, the Book button is plainly labelled, and fees and rebates are explained in short sentences. We show you the draft on a phone and a laptop so you can check it reads well on both.
Yes, through your existing booking system, as long as it allows a booking in someone else's name. We link the Book button to it and add a short page for family and carers covering what to bring, whether they can attend, and how Medicare, DVA or health fund claims work at your practice.
List the ones you genuinely reach, grouped by area, for example the Peninsula, Gosford and Erina, the Entrance district and the northern lakes. People search by their own town, and a named list also stops calls from places you don't go. Changing the list later is a text edit covered by the $30 monthly hosting.
Some of them may. Registered professions follow Ahpra's national advertising rules, non-registered professions such as speech pathology and dietetics come under the NSW code of conduct, and SIRA approval matters if you treat workers compensation claims. Our Sydney allied health page summarises each with links to the official guidance; you approve all wording, and the regulators are the place to confirm what applies to you.
By phone and email. Our team is based in Adelaide and works with businesses Australia-wide, with current clients in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD. You send your words, photos, practitioner details and fees; we send a link to the draft, make the changes you ask for, and you pay once you approve it.
Tell us what you treat, which towns you cover, whether you visit homes or aged care, and how clients book now. We'll quote and build the draft, and you pay only when you approve it.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
