What we do

We grow medical practices, compliantly

Most agencies treat healthcare like any other industry. We don’t. Everything we produce is written for patients, measured by real enquiries and checked against the advertising guidelines before it goes live. The Medical Marketers was founded in Adelaide by a marketer who has worked with dozens of medical practices since 2021, including plastic surgeons through the 2023 cosmetic advertising changes.

More patients

SEO, ads and local search working together to put your practice in front of people ready to book.

Better systems

Websites, booking journeys and recall campaigns that turn interest into appointments, then into return visits.

Compliance built in

Every word reviewed against the AHPRA and TGA guidelines, so your marketing builds trust instead of risk.

Compliance

Marketing that stands up to the AHPRA and TGA rules

Health advertising has rules most marketers never learn. We build them into everything we write, so your website, ads and social posts can bring in patients without putting your registration at risk.

Plenty of agencies say they understand compliance. We check every page, ad and post against the rules before it goes live, and our audits show you every potential issue highlighted on your own pages, with a spreadsheet of what to fix.

The rules in plain English

  • No testimonials. Patient stories, reposted reviews and outcome comments all count.
  • Nothing misleading. Claims about treatments need to be accurate and supported by evidence.
  • No unreasonable expectations. Avoid promises like pain-free, permanent or guaranteed results.
  • No inducements without terms. Offers, discounts and gifts need clear conditions, and some should not be used at all.
  • No advertising prescription medicines to the public, including nicknames, prices or specials for medicine-based treatments.
  • Extra care for cosmetic procedures under the 2025 cosmetic guidelines, from imagery to targeting.

Common mistakes we fix

What we find most often, and what we change it to

Most compliance problems are not deliberate. They are habits picked up from general marketing that do not work in health.

Instead of

Reposting a five-star Google review on Instagram

It counts as a testimonial, even if the patient wrote it.

Try

Share practice news or helpful education, and reply to reviews within the rules.

Instead of

“Our physio specialises in sports injuries”

Specialist titles and wording are protected. Implying specialist status can breach the rules.

Try

“Our physios assess and treat sports injuries.”

Instead of

“Half price anti-wrinkle injections this month”

Prescription medicines cannot be advertised to the public, and prices or specials for them count.

Try

Promote a cosmetic consultation with your practitioner instead.

Instead of

“Pain-free, permanent results”

Absolute claims create unreasonable expectations of benefit.

Try

Explain what to expect, including risks, recovery and why results vary.

Instead of

Before-and-after photos taken in different lighting, angles or poses

If the two photos are not taken the same way, the comparison can mislead.

Try

Matching lighting, angle, pose and background, no filters or retouching, patient consent and a note that results vary.

Instead of

“Free whitening with every check-up”

Inducements need clear terms and must not encourage unnecessary treatment.

Try

Give clear information about whitening, suitability and costs.
