Open Therapy is a directory and booking platform for verified practitioners in Australia. You keep your own fees, your own cancellation terms and your own clinical judgement. We handle the listing, the matching, the booking and the money.

What it costs

Free to list. No monthly fee, no seat licence, no minimum. We earn when you do, and nothing when we bring you nobody. Clients who arrive through your own booking link carry no introduction fee at all. See Fees for the full breakdown with worked examples.

What you get

A profile that says who you're for

Beyond modalities — including the experiences you hold yourself.

Matching on lived experience

Clients who need you specifically can find you.

Your own booking link

opentherapy.link/your-name, and no introduction fee on anyone who uses it.

Payments handled

Clients pay at booking. You’re the merchant of record.

Getting started

1

Apply

Sign up as a therapist and complete onboarding — see Join Open Therapy.
2

Get verified

We check your registration against the national register. See Verification.
3

Set up payouts

Connect a Stripe account. You can’t take bookings until this is done — see Set up payouts.
4

Go live

Publish your profile, set your availability, and start appearing in the directory.

What stays yours

Two rules are ours rather than yours, and both are deliberate: you never charge a client for a session you cancelled yourself, and a client who cancels after the start time pays the no-show rate rather than the late rate. See Cancellation policy.

Who can list

Practitioners registered with Ahpra, Speech Pathology Australia, Dietitians Australia, PACFA or ACA. See Verification for what’s checked.
