Welcome to Cliniko!
Thanks for choosing Cliniko! Getting started with Cliniko can be as easy as clicking on the calendar, creating a new patient, then booking them in.

Account information
You'll want to start with the really basic stuff: who you are, where you're from, and who will have access to your account. Here's some articles on where to get started with that info
Enter your business information with your address and contact details, or set up multiple locations.
Have more than one user and/or practitioner? Here's how to set up administrative users and practitioners.
Scheduling details
Scheduling is the key to the Cliniko program! You'll want to make sure that you have all of the information put in before jumping in day-to-day so that your administrative team and your patients have the best information available to them.
Set up your practitioner information with availabilities, provider numbers, and other details.
Want to use our automated appointment reminders and confirmations? Here's the guides on confirmation emails, email reminders, and SMS reminders!
Invoicing and payments
After scheduling, money is also pretty important! You'll want to establish the services you provide (billable items), products you sell and how you receive money for those services (payment types).
