Healthcare Digital Marketing for Aesthetic Clinics and Dental Practices.

Compliant. Compelling. Converting.

You didn't spend years building your expertise to lose clients to a competitor with a flashier Instagram. And you definitely didn't build your reputation to risk it on a non-compliant post.

Sane Social Media is the only healthcare digital marketing agency built specifically for Australian clinics operating under AHPRA and TGA regulations. We grow your practice. We protect your registration. And we do it without the jargon, the fluff, or the Friday afternoon panic calls.

You're good at what you do. Marketing it shouldn't be this hard.

You're a qualified practitioner. You know your craft. You know your patients. But somewhere between treating people and building a business, marketing became a minefield.

You've got AHPRA looking over one shoulder and a competitor with 50,000 Instagram followers looking over the other.

You've been burned by agencies who promised the world, charged a fortune, and had no idea what "testimonial restrictions" meant.

You've posted something that felt fine, and then spent three days wondering if it was going to land you in front of a board.
Sound familiar?

That's exactly why Sane Social Media exists.


The Sane Social Media Difference

We're not a marketing agency. We're the strategic interpreter of your mission.

Other agencies run protocols. We understand people.

Other agencies work from frameworks. We work from deep insight into your audience, your compliance obligations, and your culture.

Other agencies give you structure without soul. We give you soul with structure.

Here's what that actually means for your clinic.

We hold the pattern recognition that other agencies simply don't have. We understand your emotional sales funnel, how a patient goes from scrolling at midnight to sitting in your treatment room. We understand your audience's buying triggers, their fears about looking "done," their hesitation to book, and the exact kind of content that converts their curiosity into a confirmed appointment.

We also understand what you're up against.
We've been inside this industry long enough to know that:

AHPRA's advertising guidelines are stricter than most agencies realise, and getting stricter. A single non-compliant post can trigger a formal complaint. Generic content looks like generic content. Your patients notice.

Our work is embedded expertise, not plug-and-play. We don't parachute in with a content calendar and a stock image subscription.

We learn your brand, your team, your values, and your market. Then we build marketing that is irreplaceable, because it's rooted in understanding, not just execution.

This is a partnership, not a resource extraction.


The Results Speak For Themselves

OLA AESTHETICS


OLA Aesthetics in Perth came to us in late 2023, less than a year into business.


They'd already tried marketing and got nothing. We rebuilt their online presence, refined their messaging, and went to work.


In their first full year with Sane Social Media, we generated $306,400 in revenue from just $32,000 in ad spend. They've since doubled their team.

Amazing work thank you

Dr Aleks,
Ola Aesthetics

What We Do

Marketing that works at every stage of your patient journey.

Social media management: AHPRA-compliant content strategy, creation, and management for Instagram and Facebook. We write it, we schedule it, we make sure it converts, and we check it for compliance before it goes anywhere near your page.


 Healthcare SEO and AI Search:We get your clinic ranking in Google, and appearing in AI-generated answers on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. Low-competition, high-intent keywords your competitors aren't targeting yet, with content structured for both traditional search and the AI engines your patients are increasingly using.


Meta and Google Advertising: Lead generation campaigns that bring in qualified enquiries without blowing your budget. We've managed ad spend across aesthetic clinics and dental practices nationally, and our cost-per-lead results consistently outperform industry averages, thanks to our SKIN System, a proven framework for results.


Google Business Profile management: The map pack is prime real estate. We optimise and manage your GBP so you show up when someone searches "cosmetic clinic near me" in your area.


Marketing automations: GoHighLevel-powered follow-up sequences that turn enquiries into bookings, reduce no-shows, and reactivate lapsed patients, running in the background while you treat.


AHPRA and TGA compliance:
We manually review every piece of content against current AHPRA and TGA guidelines before it goes live. When the TGA updated its advertising rules in 2024, we reviewed every client's previous posts without charging extra, because that's what a real partner does.


About Cate

Built from the inside.

Cate Scolnik has been around healthcare her whole life. She grew up going on hospital rounds with her GP father in rural Australia, doing admin in his clinic on weekends at age nine.

Healthcare isn't an industry she stumbled into, it's the world she was raised in.

She founded Sane Social Media in 2016 with a specific mission: to help clinics navigate the gap between compliant and compelling. Because for too long, healthcare practitioners had been told that following the rules meant dull, invisible marketing. She's proved that's not true.

With a background in Sociology and Computer Information Systems, and training from social media strategist Jen Sheahan (who ran campaigns for President Barack Obama) and blogging expert Jon Morrow, Cate brings strategic depth that most marketing agencies simply don't have.

Her work has been published on Tiny Buddha, MindBodyGreen, LifeHack, and Marc & Angel. Her clients include aesthetic clinics, cosmetic medicine practices, and dental practices across Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, the Central Coast, Katoomba, Bendigo, and Perth.

She's multi-award winning, compliance-obsessed, and genuinely invested in the success of every clinic she works with.

What they say

LYNDAL YOUNG

I will be the first to admit I was reluctant to listen to your recommendation, because in the past similar advertisements haven't worked, I WAS SO WRONG. The way you conveyed the message to our audience has worked better than I can ever imagine! Thank you for all the hard work you have done to date (which has all been successful) but also thank you for encouraging us to try campaigns that we were hesitant about, you never pushed, you simply showed us why you are so good and your job, and as a result the reluctance simply disappeared. THANKS CATE!
