Why Occupational Therapy Clinics Hire Virtual Assistants

Helping therapists focus on therapy, not admin.

Running an Occupational Therapy (OT) clinic in Australia is no small feat. Between client sessions, progress reports, NDIS requirements, and KPI targets, many OT professionals are overwhelmed with the never-ending admin.

The solution? A virtual assistant who understands the healthcare space and keeps your clinic running smoothly—while you focus on what matters most: your clients.

Here’s why more OT clinics are making the smart move to hire virtual assistants 👇

1. Therapists Can Focus on Therapy

When your day is packed with back-to-back clients and endless documentation, your focus is divided.

A remote assistant can take over tasks like:

• Booking and rescheduling appointments

• Following up with clients or support coordinators

• Answering phone calls and emails

• Organising referrals and documents

This allows OTs to spend more time doing what they’re trained for—therapy, assessment, and report writing—and less time on the admin treadmill.

2. KPI Goals? You’re More Likely to Hit Them

With a virtual assistant ensuring clients are booked, followed up, and attended to on time, you’re more likely to meet your clinic’s key performance indicators (KPIs).

No more gaps in your calendar or missed client opportunities.

3. Support with NDIS and Medicare Admin

A trained healthcare virtual assistant can assist with:

• Preparing service agreements

• Booking services through the NDIS portal

• Coordinating with plan managers

• Ensuring documentation aligns with NDIS standards

• Billing and invoicing

They can also help with Medicare claims and ensure accurate patient records using EMRs like Genie, Xestro, or Cliniko.

Hiring a full-time receptionist or admin assistant can stretch your budget. With virtual staffing, you get dedicated, skilled support—without the high overhead costs.
