Websites for physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, speech pathologists, dietitians, exercise physiologists and mixed clinics in Hobart and the south of Tasmania. We plan each one around how Tasmanian clients actually pay, from MAIB road injury claims to workers compensation, and around the state code of conduct that has covered non-registered clinicians since June 2026. We're an Adelaide team and work with Tasmanian practices by phone and email.
Bios, fees and a Book button are the base of any clinic site. In Hobart, a few things sit on top of that: a state-run motor accident insurer that pays clinics directly, work injury clients who arrive with an insurer attached, a new code for clinicians outside Ahpra, and a child safety law that reaches private practices. Here is how we'd handle each one on the page. The words are yours; we arrange them.
The Motor Accidents Insurance Board pays benefits on accepted claims whoever caused the crash, and it asks injured people to give their claim number to the provider and have the provider invoice MAIB directly. Physiotherapy, exercise physiology, podiatry, psychology and osteopathy are among the treatments it lists. A short MAIB note on your fees page (bring your claim number, we bill MAIB) answers the question most people ring about.
MAIB's guidance for physiotherapists lets a clinic invoice the first five sessions for a new patient with an accepted claim, and strongly recommends a completed Physiotherapy Management Plan with or before the invoice for the sixth. If a client misses an appointment, MAIB pays half the standard fee for that one appointment and later ones fall to the client. A line on the booking page about cancellations saves an awkward conversation later.
Workers compensation in Tasmania runs under the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988, with WorkSafe Tasmania publishing the guidance. Rather than restate scheme rules on your site, say whether you see work injury clients, ask for the claim number and the insurer's contact details when they book, and link to WorkSafe Tasmania for how claims work.
Registered physios, OTs and podiatrists follow the national Ahpra advertising rules. Speech pathologists, dietitians, exercise physiologists and counsellors now work under Tasmania's code of conduct, which bars unsubstantiated claims about the efficacy of treatment in advertising or promotional material. In a mixed clinic, each service page describes what an appointment involves and who it suits, without promising what it will fix.
People search by suburb, and Greater Hobart spreads over several councils on both sides of the Derwent. A clinic in Moonah, Kingston or Bellerive should say exactly where it is, and a mobile or home-visit service should list the suburbs it reaches under each council, from Glenorchy and Hobart on the western shore to Clarence on the eastern shore and Kingborough to the south.
GPs, rehabilitation teams and hospital discharge planners need practical details: what a referral should include, how to send it, which claims you accept and your current wait. One referrers page with those answers, and a form or secure email address for letters, does more than a paragraph buried on the contact page.
Tasmania's child and youth safe standards apply to businesses, sole traders included, that provide a health service specifically for children. If you run a children's speech, OT or physio service, decide before launch which photos of children appear, if any, and on what consent, and give your child safety statement a clear link if you have one.
Registration is national; the complaints code is new. A Hobart physio or OT registers through Ahpra like anyone else, and the advertising rules on our allied health page apply unchanged. What changed this year is the treatment of everyone else. The Health Complaints (Code of Conduct) Regulations 2026 took effect on 24 June 2026 and put the National Code of Conduct for Health Care Workers into Tasmanian law. Under the Health Complaints Act 1995, a health care worker is someone who provides a health service and isn't a registered practitioner, unless they're providing a service unrelated to their registration, so the code takes in non-registered disciplines such as speech pathology, dietetics, exercise physiology and counselling. Clause 9 bars misinformation about your services, qualifications, training or professional affiliations, and rules out claims in advertising or promotional material about the efficacy of treatment that can't be substantiated. Clause 14 requires compliance with the privacy laws covering clients' health information, naming the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988 and Tasmania's Personal Information Protection Act 2004.
What the code means for the website. Clause 17 asks for a copy of the code and a document on how to complain to the Health Complaints Commissioner to be displayed or made available at every premises where you practise, easily visible or accessible to clients. It speaks of premises, not websites, so whether to put them online as well is your choice. The Act lets the Commissioner make an interim prohibition order of up to 12 weeks during an investigation, a prohibition order at the end of one, and in some circumstances a public warning statement. For what the code requires of your own practice, the Health Complaints Commissioner (opens in a new tab) is the place to ask; on the website, our job is to set out the wording you've confirmed.
Child safety reaches private clinics. The Child and Youth Safe Organisations Act 2023 counts an individual carrying on a business as a relevant body, and from 1 January 2024 it has covered entities that provide a health service, as the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law defines it, where they provide services specifically for children. Entities that provide counselling services are listed too. The Act sets up an Independent Regulator to oversee the framework, and whether your practice is covered is a question for the Regulator rather than for us.
Who refers, and from where. Primary Health Tasmania runs Tasmanian HealthPathways, a portal aimed mainly at GPs that hospital specialists, nurses and allied health workers also use, and it offers allied health providers one-on-one help registering with Provider Connect Australia, the national service for sharing practice and provider details with referrers. In the public system, the Community Rehabilitation Unit in the Peacock Building at 90 Davey Street, Hobart, is a multidisciplinary allied health and nursing team that provides outpatient rehabilitation to adults in southern Tasmania on referral. A clear referrers page and an up-to-date Provider Connect listing make it easier for GPs and hospital teams to find your details when they refer on.
Working with an Adelaide team. We're at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, Adelaide, and work with Hobart practices by phone and email. Hobart runs half an hour ahead of Adelaide all year, because both states change their clocks on the same days. Our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD; we haven't built for a Tasmanian business or an allied health clinic yet. The projects below are the closest match to what a Hobart clinic needs.
Neither client below is a clinic or a Tasmanian business. One is a Melbourne coaching practice whose booking link sits on every page; the other is an Adelaide in-home care service whose enquiry form separates referrals from professionals and enquiries from families, which is the same split a clinic's referrers page needs.
Coaching for doctors, led by a Melbourne specialist anaesthetist. The about page sets out her credentials plainly and a discovery-call booking link is on every page, the pattern we'd use for practitioner bios with each clinician's own booking button.

In-home support for older people across Northern Adelaide. Its enquiry form gives aged care providers their own referral option, nine services are explained on one page in large, readable text, and tap-to-call sits on every page, which suits older clients and the people booking for them.

Our suggestion for one Hobart clinic
$899
One clinic: a home page, a fees and claims page that keeps MAIB, workers compensation, NDIS, Medicare plans and health funds apart, and a team page with each clinician's bio and booking link.
$1,499
Several disciplines or rooms on both shores: a page per service and location, the team, a referrers page, a children's services page and space for the Tasmanian code and complaints information if you want it online.
That you treat people with an accepted MAIB claim, that they should bring their claim number, and that you invoice MAIB directly. If you're a physio practice, a line explaining that a management plan goes to MAIB after the first few sessions stops anyone being surprised. We link to MAIB's own page (opens in a new tab) rather than restating its rules.
It shapes what the pages claim. Since 24 June 2026 the code has barred non-registered health care workers in Tasmania from claims about the efficacy of treatment that can't be substantiated, including in advertising. We'd write their pages around what an appointment involves, their qualifications and memberships as they state them, and who the service is for. What the code requires of them is for the Health Complaints Commissioner to answer.
The code asks for them to be displayed or made available at the premises where you practise, and it doesn't mention websites. You can still add a short feedback and complaints section online that links to the Commissioner. If you'd like one, we'll add it to the footer or the contact page.
One site, with a page for each location: the address, parking, hours, which clinicians work there and a booking link filtered to that room if your booking system allows it. Separate location pages also let someone in Bellerive or Lindisfarne find the nearer clinic without reading about the other.
Yes. If you already use Cliniko, HotDoc or a similar tool, we link it from every page and each clinician's bio. If you'd rather have booking built into the site itself, we quote that separately once we know how your appointments work. Either way, label times as Hobart time for clients booking from interstate.
By phone and email. You send your services, team bios, fees, claims information and photos; we build a draft and send you the link. You ask for as many changes as you like and pay once you approve it. We reply within 24 hours, and Hobart is only 30 minutes ahead of us.
Tell us your disciplines, where you see clients, how they book now and which claims you accept, from MAIB to workers compensation. We'll quote, build the draft, and you pay only once you've approved it.
