Acupuncture clinic software: bookings, intake & notes

Acupuncturists: bookings and intake done before the first needle. Calm clinic, fewer calls.

The phone rings while you're mid-needling, new clients fill in a clipboard form while their session ticks away and the treatment notes live in a folder or a template nobody likes. We build booking, intake, notes and follow-up systems for acupuncture clinics so the admin is done before the client walks in. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for acupuncture clinic booking software that handles intake and notes too?

An acupuncture clinic runs on calm, but the admin behind it rarely is. You can't answer the phone with a client on the table and needles in. New clients arrive ten minutes early to fill in a health history, consent for cupping or electro gets signed on paper and health fund details get asked for at the desk every single visit. Then the course of treatment that was going to help drifts off after two sessions because nobody followed up.

Wollopit builds custom software for acupuncture clinics around how you actually treat. Clients book the right appointment type online, complete intake and consent at home and arrive ready. Your notes sit next to their history, with points, patterns and herbs in a layout that suits you. Course reminders and recalls go out on their own. We connect to Cliniko, Nookal, Halaxy, HICAPS or Tyro if they're working for you, then host and look after the lot.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole clinic, on one quiet system.

These are the systems acupuncture clinics ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly useful once they're joined up.

Bookings

Clients book themselves. The phone stays quiet.

Online booking that understands how an acupuncture clinic runs. Initial and follow-up appointments, practitioners moving between rooms and time held for needles to rest. Reminders cut no-shows without you lifting a finger.

  • Initial, follow-up and fertility appointment types
  • Booking by practitioner and room
  • Buffers for setup and needle rest
  • Book from your website, Google and Instagram
  • SMS and email reminders
  • Online reschedule and cancel
  • Deposits and cancellation policy
  • Waitlist for cancelled slots

Intake & consent

Forms done before the first needle.

Intake and consent go out the moment someone books. Health history, medications, goals and treatment consent are signed at home and waiting in the file, so the first session starts on time and starts with treatment.

  • Health history sent at booking
  • Medications and conditions flagged
  • Consent by treatment type
  • Signed on any phone
  • Reminder if forms aren't done
  • Answers saved to the client file
  • Updated history for returning clients
  • Health fund details captured once

Treatment notes

Notes that fit how you actually treat.

A notes template built around your practice, not a generic physio form. Tongue, pulse, pattern, points and herbs sit next to the client's history, so you can see how a course is tracking at a glance.

  • Your own TCM note template
  • Tongue and pulse fields
  • Pattern and treatment principle
  • Point selection with body charts
  • Herbal prescriptions on file
  • Progress scores across a course
  • Secure access for practitioners only
  • Notes ready for health fund audits

Courses & recalls

Clients finish the course they started.

Set a treatment plan once and the follow-ups book themselves. If someone drifts off, a gentle reminder goes out. Packages and prepaid courses make committing easy.

  • Treatment plans with session counts
  • Follow-ups booked in one go
  • Rebooking nudges after a gap
  • Seasonal recall messages
  • Prepaid courses and packages
  • Gift vouchers online
  • Birthday and check-in messages
  • Plan progress per client

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your acupuncture clinic: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We sit with you between clients and at the front desk to see where bookings, forms and follow-ups are slowing you down.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your appointment types, rooms, forms, notes, health fund claims, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually online booking and intake first, so the phone goes quiet quickly.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something needs fixing you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things acupuncturists ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Are treatment notes kept private?

Yes. Notes are stored securely in Australia with access restricted to practitioners. We build with Australian privacy requirements for health records in mind.

We already use Cliniko. Do we have to switch?

No. If Cliniko, Nookal, Halaxy or another platform is working for you we build around it, adding the intake, course reminders, dispensary or website pieces it doesn't do well. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve first.

Can clients claim from their health fund on the spot?

Yes. We capture fund details at booking and connect to HICAPS or Tyro so claims are quick at checkout with the right receipts.

Can it handle fertility clients with changing transfer dates?

Yes. We can hold priority slots around transfer days and make rebooking quick when a date moves.

Can we track herbal prescriptions and stock?

Yes. Formulas and granule prescriptions save to the client file, labels print for dispensing and you get alerts when stock runs low.

How much does it cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your clinic. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Online booking and intake forms can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most acupuncturists we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
