Vertical — healthcare & allied health

Healthcare app developers who put the price on the page.

Allied-health and clinic apps in Australia typically cost A$90–180k: bookings, care plans, practitioner apps and Medicare-aware workflows, engineered for the Privacy Act's sensitive-information rules. Simpler patient tools start around A$60k; platforms holding significant health records run A$200k+. Fixed quotes, scope-locked, at Flagship.

What we build

From the waiting room to the care plan.

01

Patient bookings & intake

Online bookings with practitioner availability, digital intake and consent forms, reminders that cut no-shows — connected to your existing practice-management system where possible, replacing it where it's the bottleneck.

02

Care plans & programs

Structured programs (rehab, physio, dietetics, psychology), home-exercise delivery, progress tracking and practitioner dashboards — the retention engine for allied-health businesses.

03

Telehealth & messaging

Secure video and messaging that meets Australian privacy expectations, with session notes and billing hooks — not a generic chat SDK bolted on.

04

Medicare-aware workflows

EPC/chronic-disease item awareness, referral tracking and claiming-adjacent workflows designed with your practice's compliance reality, not against it.

Compliance, engineered in

Health data is different. We build like it.

Health information is sensitive information under the Privacy Act 1988 — stricter consent, storage and breach-notification duties, plus state health-records acts in Victoria, NSW and the ACT.

RequirementHow it's handled
Australian data residencyAU-region hosting by default; data flows documented in the build plan
Access controlRole-based access, practitioner/patient separation, full audit trails
ConsentExplicit, granular, recorded — designed into intake, not a checkbox afterthought
Breach readinessNotifiable Data Breaches scheme response path documented before launch
TGA / SaMDIf your app could be a software-based medical device, we scope classification in the Blueprint Sprint — before you commit to a build
Questions

Asked by clinic owners.

How much does a healthcare app cost in Australia?
Typically A$90–180k for bookings + care plans + practitioner tooling with compliant data handling. Simpler patient-facing tools from ~A$60k; record-heavy or integrated platforms A$200k+. Use the cost calculator for an itemised range.
Does my app need TGA approval?
Only if it functions as a software-based medical device (diagnosis, monitoring, treatment). Booking, practice-management and wellness apps generally don't. We scope the classification question inside the Blueprint Sprint so you know before spending build money.
Can you integrate with our practice-management software?
Usually — integration feasibility (and vendor API quality) is exactly what the Blueprint Sprint's architecture phase pins down, with the integration costed in the fixed quote.
Who owns the platform?
You do. 100% IP assignment in plain English under Australian law, on every project.
