What tech categories does Yoluko detect?

Yoluko detects 24+ technology categories from clinic websites, including practice management systems (PMS/EHR), online booking platforms, payment processors, CRM tools, telehealth platforms, ad pixels (Google, Meta, LinkedIn), form builders, review widgets, analytics tools, live chat, and more. Detection runs via automated website crawling, not self-reported surveys.

How often is the data refreshed?

Yoluko crawls all 85,000+ clinic brands every week. Migration signals, such as PMS switches, new tool installs, and vendor removals, are generated by diffing each week's crawl against the previous one. Clients on a weekly feed receive updated data every Wednesday.

Which countries does Yoluko cover?

Yoluko currently covers Australia (43,000+ clinic locations across all states and territories) and the United Kingdom (70,000+ clinic locations across England), totalling 115,000+ locations and 85,000+ unique clinic brands. The United States and New Zealand are on the roadmap.

What clinic types are included in the dataset?

The dataset covers 900+ clinic types across healthcare, including general practice (GP), dental, physiotherapy, psychology, chiropractic, optometry, podiatry, dermatology, occupational therapy, speech pathology, veterinary clinics, and more. Each location is classified by type from its Google Maps listing.

How does Yoluko detect which software a clinic uses?

Yoluko crawls the public-facing website of each clinic and analyzes the HTML, JavaScript, iframes, and embedded widgets for signatures of known software products. For example, a Cliniko booking widget, a HotDoc iframe, a Stripe checkout script, or a HubSpot tracking pixel. This is passive detection from publicly available data, not scraping login portals or private systems.

Yoluko is used by three main buyer types: (1) Sales teams at healthtech vendors who need qualified lead lists filtered by tech stack and firmographics, (2) investors and analysts sizing healthcare markets or evaluating consolidation trends, and (3) consultants building territory plans or competitive intelligence reports.

Multi-Location Clinic Chains in Australia (2026)

Multi-location clinic chains consolidating across Australia

The Big Picture

Australia's outpatient clinic market is overwhelmingly fragmented. 84.7% of brands operate from a single location. But multi-location groups - though only 15.3% of brands - punch well above their weight, representing 41% of all mapped clinic locations.

For healthtech vendors, this distinction matters. A single-location independent buys differently to a 50-site corporate chain. Selling into groups means longer sales cycles but higher contract values, standardised tech stacks and less churn.

Chain Size Distribution

Most multi-location brands are small - 2 or 3 sites. Only 130 brands run 11+ locations and just 9 operate at true national scale with 100+ sites.

Size	Brands	% of Total
Single location	18,282	80.1%
2 locations	2,680+	11.7%
3–5 locations	1,200+	5.3%
6–10 locations	350+	1.5%
11–20 locations	130+	0.6%
21–50 locations	90+	0.4%
51–100 locations	40+	0.2%
101+ locations	9	<0.1%

Which Verticals Are Consolidating?

Consolidation varies wildly by clinic type. Audiology is the most corporatised vertical - 41.3% of audiology brands are multi-location, averaging 12.5 sites each. At the other end, GP clinics and psychologists remain overwhelmingly independent.

Vertical	Multi %	Avg locs	Chains
Audiologist	41.3%	12.5	150
Podiatrist	29.7%	2.7	393
Physiotherapist	29.3%	2.0	122

Top 10 National Chains by Location Count

Audiology dominates the top of the leaderboard. Five of the ten largest chains are hearing brands - a reflection of how corporatised that vertical has become, with global players like Amplifon and Specsavers rolling up independent audiologists.

Chain	Locations	States	Vertical
1.Specsavers	368	8/8	Audiology / Optometry
2.Amplifon	306	8/8	Audiology
3.Audika (incl. ACE Audiology)	303	8/8	Audiology
4.bloom hearing	210	7/8	Audiology
5.Connect Hearing	174	6/8	Audiology
6.The Hart Centre	169	6/8	Counselling
7.Oscar Wylee	110	6/8	Optometry
8.family doctor	110	6/8	General Practice
9.Bupa Dental	94	7/8	Dental
10.Family Doctor	85	6/8	Medical clinic

Cross-State Reach

90 chains operate in 3 or more states. Only 3 brands - all in audiology - have a presence in all 8 states and territories. Cross-state chains are the highest-value prospects for enterprise healthtech vendors: they need standardised platforms, centralised reporting and multi-site management tools.

States	Chains	Examples
8 states	3	Specsavers, Amplifon, Audika
7 states	4	Better Rehab, Maven Dental, Bupa Dental, bloom hearing
6 states	10	Eyecare Plus, Connect Hearing, Chiropractic Life, Oscar Wylee
5 states	10	Primary Dental, Everyday Independence, Ochre Health, Bailey Nelson
4 states	17	Kieser, Total Health Chiropractic, nib Dental, National 360
3 states	46	Wellbeing Chiropractic, Our Medical, New View Psychology

Multi-Location Rate by State

The NT has the highest multi-location rate at 29.9%, driven by the logistical reality of servicing remote communities from hub clinics. Larger markets like NSW and VIC sit around 17%, where absolute numbers are far higher but the independent practice model still dominates.

Tech Adoption: Chains vs Independents

Multi-location brands are significantly more likely to run ad pixels (+18.4pp) and analytics (+16.2pp) than independents. They also lead on CRM, live chat and payments adoption. The gap is smallest for forms and CMS - basic web presence is universal.

Category	Multi	Single	Gap
Ad Pixels	51.8%	33.4%	+18.4pp
Analytics	73.1%	56.9%	+16.2pp
Display Reviews	44.5%	39.3%	+5.2pp
Live Chat	19.9%	15.2%	+4.8pp
CRM	12.5%	7.8%	+4.7pp
Payments	45.4%	41.0%	+4.4pp
PMS	47.9%	44.3%	+3.5pp
Booking	61.8%	58.9%	+2.9pp

Key Takeaways

Audiology is the most corporatised vertical. 41.3% of audiology brands are multi-location, averaging 12.5 sites each. Global acquirers (Amplifon, Demant/Audika, Specsavers) have rolled up hundreds of independent audiologists into national networks.

Dental is consolidating mid-market. 560 multi-site dental brands, led by Bupa Dental (90+ locations), National Dental Care (64) and Maven Dental (51). Corporate dental groups are the fastest-growing segment for enterprise PMS vendors.

Psychology remains fragmented. Only 12.4% of psychology brands are multi-location, the lowest rate among major verticals. Solo practitioners dominate. This limits enterprise deal size but creates a massive SMB market.

Chains invest more in tech. Multi-location brands are +18pp more likely to run ad pixels and +16pp more likely to use analytics. They also lead on CRM, live chat and payments. Vendors should segment their outreach accordingly.

90 chains span 3+ states. These cross-state operators are prime enterprise prospects. They need centralised platforms, multi-site dashboards and standardised workflows. Only 3 brands cover all 8 states - all in audiology.

Methodology

Data sourced from the Yoluko clinic intelligence platform. 20k+ unique clinic domains across Australia are crawled every week and matched to 28k+ Google Maps locations. Multi-location status is determined by matching a single domain to multiple verified business listings. "Chain" and "brand" refer to a unique domain operating two or more locations.
