Website Design for Allied Health Practices in Perth

Websites for Perth physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, podiatrists, dietitians, exercise physiologists and multidisciplinary clinics, set up for the way Western Australia handles workers compensation, motor injury claims and the conduct code for practitioners outside Ahpra registration.

What a Perth allied health website needs

Most of a clinic site reads the same in any city: who you see, what it costs, how to book. In WA the differences sit in the paperwork. Work injuries and road crash injuries each run through a state scheme with its own steps, and professions outside national registration answer to a state code enforced by HaDSCO. A Perth site should get those details right, then say plainly which part of the metro area you serve.

  • Workers compensation, described the WA way

    WorkCover WA says it doesn't register or endorse allied health practitioners. A treating practitioner needs the right qualifications or registration, plus approval from the insurer handling that worker's claim. So instead of a “WorkCover approved” badge, the bios and fees page say which clinicians see injured workers and what to have ready, such as the claim number and the insurer's details.

  • A plain line for people hurt on the road

    Motor injury cover in WA is run by the Insurance Commission of Western Australia. Its guidance for providers says patients choose their own treatment provider and don't have to wait until after making a claim to start, and approved treatment is paid against a treatment number the patient receives by SMS or email. If you take these clients, the fees page says so and asks them to bring that number.

  • Claims you can back up, under either set of rules

    Physios, OTs, podiatrists and the other Ahpra-registered professions follow the national advertising rules. Speech pathologists, dietitians and counsellors in WA come under the state's Code of Conduct for certain health care workers, which bars advertising claims about a treatment's effectiveness that can't be substantiated. In a mixed clinic, each service page describes what a session involves and who it suits, rather than what it will achieve.

  • Children's services written for parents

    A Perth family with a young child may already have been referred to the free public Child Development Service, and the service itself warns that some of what it offers is in high demand. When they look at a private practice instead, they want your current wait for a first appointment, whether a referral is needed, what an assessment costs and whether NDIS or private health cover applies. One page from the menu answers all four.

  • Your corridor in the first line

    A client in Butler is unlikely to cross the river for a half-hour session in Willetton. Name your suburb in the page title and heading, add parking and the nearest train station, and if you're mobile, list the suburbs you visit and where you stop. Early, late or Saturday sessions go beside the Book button for people working rosters or shifts.

  • A referrers page for GPs and coordinators

    WA GPs use Clinician Assist WA, run by WA Primary Health Alliance, for guidance on assessing, managing and referring patients; it has replaced HealthPathways WA. Once a GP has settled on physio or dietetics, the practice staff still need your details: what to put in the referral, how to send it, which funding you accept and how long the wait is. A single page covers it, with a short form if you'd like referrals through the site.

Allied health in Perth: what WA does differently

Registration is national, so a Perth physiotherapist, OT, podiatrist or psychologist is registered through Ahpra and the relevant board exactly as one in Adelaide would be, and the advertising rules set out on our allied health page apply unchanged. Complaints are where WA has its own body. The Health and Disability Services Complaints Office (HaDSCO) accepts complaints about individual health care workers whether they are registered or not, and for a registered practitioner it consults Ahpra to decide which agency should handle the matter. New South Wales runs a different system again, explained on our Sydney allied health page.

Since 27 July 2023, WA has had a Code of Conduct for certain health care workers. It covers people providing health services without national registration (HaDSCO's examples include speech pathologists, dietitians, nutritionists, counsellors and social workers), registered practitioners when they provide a service unrelated to their registration, and students and volunteers. HaDSCO can investigate breaches, issue prohibition orders and publish public warnings. Two clauses bear on a website. Clause 9 rules out misinformation about your services, qualifications or professional affiliations, including efficacy claims in advertising that can't be substantiated. Clause 17 requires a copy of the code and information on how to complain to HaDSCO to be displayed or made available at every premises where you practise, easily visible or accessible to clients; a few kinds of premises, such as private hospitals, are exempt. It doesn't mention websites, and HaDSCO offers A4 and A3 posters of the code. A practitioner who only visits clients at home can ask HaDSCO how the clause applies; the code and the posters are on HaDSCO's code of conduct page (opens in a new tab).

Work injuries have been handled under the Workers Compensation and Injury Management Act 2023 since 1 July 2024. WorkCover WA lists the allied health groups it recognises, among them physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, psychologists, occupational therapists, exercise physiologists and speech pathologists, but approval to treat a particular worker comes from the insurer on that claim. Two changes take effect from 1 November 2026: a Treatment Management Plan for all approved allied health providers in the scheme, which insurers will use to judge whether treatment and costs are reasonable, and the Workers Compensation (Health Services) Fees Order 2026, which raises maximum fees by 3.90%. Workers compensation for WA public sector employees is covered by the Insurance Commission, which also runs the Motor Injury Insurance Scheme, the compulsory cover that comes with every WA vehicle licence.

Primary care support comes from WA Primary Health Alliance, which operates the state's three Primary Health Networks: Perth North, Perth South and Country WA. Its Clinician Assist WA site is written mainly for GPs, but any health professional providing services in WA can register. Children under 16 who live in the metropolitan area can be referred by a parent or a professional to the Child Development Service, which offers free assessment and support for developmental delay or difficulty from centres across Perth. For disability supports, worker screening and NDIS registration in WA, see our Perth NDIS provider page.

We're an Adelaide team and work with Perth practices by phone and email. Western Australia doesn't use daylight saving, so Adelaide is 90 minutes ahead of Perth for part of the year and two and a half hours ahead from October to April. We haven't yet built for a WA business or for an allied health clinic.

The closest projects in our portfolio

Neither of these is a clinic or a Perth business. Golden Years' enquiry form gives aged care providers their own referral option, and Resolve Forward takes clients from a priced service to an online booking and intake questions, two jobs an allied health site also has to do.

Home page of the Resolve Forward website

Resolve Forward

Professional services · Sydney

Mediation and family dispute resolution in Sydney. Clients choose a priced package linked to online booking, and a five-step intake form collects their details, much as a Perth clinic might gather a new client's claim details before the first session.

“Rebuilt two websites for our businesses and saved us a fortune on hosting etc. Nothing is ever a problem, will email back on a Saturday night if need be.”

Questions from Perth allied health practices

Can a physio's bio say they're WorkCover approved?

WorkCover WA says it doesn't register or endorse medical or allied health practitioners. What a practitioner needs is the right qualifications or registration and approval from the insurer responsible for the particular claim. Wording such as “sees workers compensation clients” on the bio and fees page describes that accurately. Check your exact wording against WorkCover WA's guidance and send it to us; we put it where clients and case managers will see it.

Our speech pathologists aren't Ahpra-registered. Does the WA code have to go on our website?

Clause 17 of WA's Code of Conduct for certain health care workers asks for the code and HaDSCO's complaints information to be displayed or made available at each premises you practise from, and it doesn't mention websites. If you'd like a short page with HaDSCO's details linked from the footer anyway, send us the wording and we'll add it. How the clause applies to your own practice is a question for HaDSCO.

What should our site tell people injured in a car crash?

Whether you see Insurance Commission clients, and that they should bring the treatment number sent to them by SMS or email (some keep it as a Digital Claiming Card on their phone). If you claim through HICAPS at the appointment, say so. The Insurance Commission's provider page explains the steps; we link to it rather than restating its rules.

Do the 1 November 2026 WorkCover WA changes affect our website?

Only where the site talks about workers compensation. The Health Services Fees Order 2026 lifts the maximum fees for allied health services by 3.90% from that date, so any WorkCover fee you publish needs the new figure. If you explain how you manage claims, the new Treatment Management Plan may be worth a sentence. On a site we've built, changing text on an existing page is covered by the $30 monthly hosting.

You're in Adelaide. How does a Perth practice work with you?

By phone and email, with Perth hours in mind: we're 90 minutes ahead of you, or two and a half hours while South Australia is on daylight saving. You send your clinicians, services, fees, words and photos; we build a draft your team can look over, you ask for changes until it's right, and you pay once you approve it.
