integration & API.
Cloud allied health PMS with built-in client booking — we add bespoke portals and integration depth.
H What is Halaxy?
Halaxy in plain English.
Halaxy is an Australian-developed cloud practice management system for allied health practitioners — psychologists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, dietitians, podiatrists, occupational therapists and counsellors. It includes practice management, clinical notes, Medicare and DVA billing, and patient-facing booking. Notable for its free tier (paid via card-payment processing fees), which has driven adoption among solo practitioners and small clinics. Halaxy exposes a FHIR-based public API with webhooks via its developer portal at developers.halaxy.com.

Why custom?
Beyond the default Halaxy integrations.
Halaxy is a cloud-based allied health practice management platform with built-in client-facing booking and a free tier that's driven broad adoption. We build the bespoke layer Halaxy users need as they scale: branded patient portals, custom intake flows, multilingual content, and integration with the rest of the practice stack.
What we build with Halaxy
Common Halaxy integrations.
Branded patient portal extending Halaxy's built-in patient-facing features
Custom intake forms that integrate with Halaxy patient records
Multilingual content platform tied to Halaxy patient communications
Multi-clinician scheduling logic Halaxy doesn't handle natively
Integration with Xero, MYOB for clinic accounting reconciliation
Migration support when Halaxy is outgrown
How a Halaxy project usually unfolds
How a Halaxy project usually unfolds.
- 01
Map what the practice actually needs from custom work
A short audit — practice shape, patient journey today, where reception time is going, whether the practice intends to stay on Halaxy or migrate within the next year. The honest answer to that last question shapes everything else.
- 02
Design the integration against what Halaxy actually exposes
API access set up, the gaps documented (limited webhook coverage, modules with no programmatic access), workarounds designed where the API stops. Patient identity matching agreed.
- 03
Build the missing layer in priority order
Highest-friction piece ships first — usually a branded patient portal or custom intake. Accounting reconciliation, multi-clinician scheduling logic and any reporting work follow. Each phase is shipped and used before the next starts.
- 04
Handover with a clear honest assessment
Staff training, runbooks for the integration points, and an honest read on when the practice should consider moving from Halaxy to Cliniko or Nookal if growth continues. The custom layer is built to survive a future platform change.
Typical investment $10K–$50K depending on scope
Typical timeline 4–10 weeks to first delivery
What you can expect
What a Halaxy integration usually delivers.
A branded patient portal that carries your practice
Appointments, history, messaging and document exchange on the practice's domain instead of inside a generic Halaxy directory.
Intake that fits real multi-discipline practice
Custom forms with branching logic, conditional questions and per-discipline validation, filed against Halaxy records so the practitioner walks in informed.
Accounting reconciliation without the fortnightly cost
Halaxy invoices flowing into Xero or MYOB with provider splits, Medicare and DVA reconciliation, and bank-feed matching. The bookkeeper isn't spending half a day a fortnight on it.
A clear migration option when growth makes it the right call
The custom layer is platform-aware, not platform-locked. When the practice outgrows Halaxy, the migration to Cliniko or Nookal is a measured project, not a rebuild.

How we build
Production-grade.
Not Zapier in a trench coat.
Every Halaxy integration we ship handles failure properly: idempotent jobs, retry logic, dead-letter queues for unrecoverable cases, and observability so you can see exactly where data is at any moment.
Tested
Real test suite, real edge cases. Not just "it worked once."
Observable
You see what is happening — events logged, errors surfaced.
Maintainable
Documented, version-controlled, handed over properly.

FAQ
Common questions about Halaxy integration.
Does Halaxy have an API for custom integrations?
Halaxy's API surface is more limited than Cliniko or Nookal, but supports the integration patterns we typically build for patient-facing extensions.
How does Halaxy compare to Cliniko and Nookal?
Halaxy's built-in patient-facing booking and free tier make it attractive for solo practitioners; Cliniko and Nookal have richer APIs and more features for multi-practitioner clinics. The right choice depends on practice size and growth trajectory.
Can you migrate from Halaxy to Cliniko or Nookal?
Yes — we handle data migration as part of platform transition engagements. We typically run phased migrations that don't paralyse the practice during the move.
