Nookal review
A broad scheduling and practice management platform for Australian healthcare practices.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Nookal is cloud-based practice management software for healthcare and allied health practices. It brings together online appointment booking, multi-practitioner scheduling, patient records, clinical notes, invoicing, payment processing, reminders, digital intake forms, reporting, telehealth integrations, and AI-assisted clinical documentation. Its focus suits physiotherapy, psychology, chiropractic, podiatry, osteopathy, speech therapy, and other healthcare disciplines, including practices with multiple locations.
Pricing is structured around practitioner-based monthly billing. Essentials costs $65 USD per practitioner per month and includes booking, scheduling, records, clinical notes, invoicing, payments, reminders, and basic reporting. Professional costs $89 USD per practitioner per month and adds advanced reporting and KPI dashboards, customisable intake and consent forms, automated recalls, waitlist management, two-way SMS, invoice automation, and bulk messaging. Enterprise adds multi-account management, custom integrations and API access, a dedicated account manager, invoice locking, custom onboarding and staff training, plus priority support and an SLA guarantee. A 30-day free trial is available, and there is no free plan.
The integration range is a major fit factor for Australian practices. Nookal connects with Xero, MYOB, Tyro Health, Stripe, Square, PayPal, Medicare Australia, ACC, PatientNotes, Heidi, Physitrack, Coviu, Doxy.me, Zoom, and an API. It also supports recurring appointments, online payments, waitlists, telehealth connections, and automated reminders. Practices needing a web-based system with healthcare-specific workflows and accounting, payments, claims, or telehealth connections should find the feature mix relevant. Smaller practices seeking a free option, native mobile platforms, or predictable costs for every SMS and add-on should look closely at the extra-charge structure before choosing it.
