109 allied health practices express interest in WooBoard CARE
Thrive Tribe Technologies Limited (ASX: 1TT) has reported non-binding expressions of interest from 109 allied health practices for WooBoard CARE across the initial Queensland rollout. The next step is to progress interested practices through verification and onboarding ahead of public launch.
Direct outreach recorded interest from 64 physiotherapy and 45 psychology practices. Each practice reported Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) registration and capacity to accept new clients, although participation remains subject to verification, onboarding and agreed subscription terms.
The update follows the company’s 17 September 2026 announcement. CARE’s initial rollout remains focused on physiotherapy and psychology across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Ipswich.
Interest spans all six service and location combinations, which the company describes as a recruitment base for the initial provider network.

Provider interest across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Ipswich
The 109 interested practices comprise the following location and discipline mix:
| Location | Physiotherapy | Psychology | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Coast | **24** | **17** | **41** |
| Brisbane | **26** | **15** | **41** |
| Ipswich | **14** | **13** | **27** |
Non-binding interest
The expressions of interest are non-binding and “do not establish contracted customers or revenue.”
The proposed provider model combines paid provider listings and enquiry-management tools, with free access for veterans. Pricing and subscription terms are being finalised.
What WooBoard CARE does and how veterans benefit
WooBoard CARE is designed to help veterans find providers accepting DVA Veteran Cards and new clients. It also helps participating practices manage veteran enquiries.
The minimum viable product (MVP), an early working version of the platform, is now operational with:
- Veteran accounts
- Provider search
- Appointment-request tracking
- Provider enquiry tools
Platform integration and release testing remain outstanding before public launch.
Crisis support (000, Open Arms and Lifeline) is shown before any search or sign-up.
CARE provides navigation to existing services. It does not provide diagnosis, triage, treatment or clinical advice, and appointment requests are enquiries, not clinical referrals or confirmed bookings.
Before listing, providers will undergo onboarding and verification. This includes Ahpra registration checks for relevant practitioners and confirmation of Veteran Card acceptance and new-client capacity. Listing verification does not assess treatment quality or guarantee availability.
For readers wanting the wider commercial and policy backdrop, our full explainer on the WooBoard CARE veteran directory build covers the Queensland DVA card holder population, the subscription model for providers and the federal allied health funding environment behind the initial rollout.
Next milestone and the path to public launch
The company is targeting completion of platform integration and release testing by 1 November 2026, subject to final cost approvals and clinical governance input. This is a development milestone, not a confirmed public launch date.
Public launch requires:
- Board approval
- At least three verified providers accepting new clients per discipline and location
- A safety framework covering verified crisis routing, provider standards and clinical sign-off by a named registered professional
Service and location combinations will open as these requirements are met.
For investors, the 109 interested practices exceed the three-provider threshold in each of the six service and location combinations. Verification and onboarding are still to come, however, and the expressions of interest remain non-binding.
