The problem
Three income channels. One set of obligations.
A working month for a locum now runs through agency shifts, direct bookings and, for many, telehealth: about one in five GP services were delivered by telehealth in 2022-23 (MBS Review Advisory Committee, Telehealth Post-Implementation Review, health.gov.au, June 2024). Each channel has its own invoices, its own GST treatment and its own super position.
Meanwhile the paperwork has changed status. Every state and territory has issued payroll tax guidance, assessments or amnesties covering payments to contractor practitioners (state-by-state snapshot: Gorilla Jobs, October 2025). Personal services income rules apply when more than 50% of your income comes from your own skills and effort (ATO, ato.gov.au), which describes most locum work. GST registration is required once turnover passes $75,000 (ATO, ato.gov.au).
Your shift records, invoices and super evidence are no longer admin. They are documentation. Sessional keeps them complete, consistent and in your hands.
Get paid
Invoices that chase themselves.
Issue AUD invoices in your own name from any shift, agency or direct. Automatic chasers follow up politely so you never have to send the awkward second email. Workplaces approve and pay through a signed link, no account required on their side. Every shift moves through one pipeline, offered to confirmed to delivered to invoiced to paid, so nothing slips between sources.
How invoicing works
Be ready
Arrive at tax time already organised.
Sessional tracks GST across every income source and shows your BAS position quarter by quarter. The super guarantee tracker records what has been paid against contractor work, at the current 12% rate for 2025-26 (ATO, ato.gov.au, verified per the Sessional compliance register). The PSI diagnostic shows how the personal services income tests relate to your work pattern. Mileage is logged with the ATO cents-per-km method at 88c per kilometre, capped at 5,000 business kilometres per car (ATO, ato.gov.au). On Pro, everything syncs two ways with Xero.
Your figures arrive BAS-ready. Your registered agent, or Xero, lodges. Sessional shows your position; it does not provide tax or financial advice.

Your compliance, in your pocket, shareable in one link.
The compliance passport holds your AHPRA registration, indemnity, provider numbers and state credentials with expiry tracking that warns you before a document lapses, not after. Share a signed, read-only passport link with any workplace in seconds. Booking requests and messages stay attached to the shift record. The peer rate benchmark and earnings forecast show where your rates sit and where your year is heading.

Why this exists
Built from 45 years of locum general practice.
My father has been a GP for over 45 years. The system behind Sessional ran his locum books privately for a decade before I rebuilt it for every AHPRA profession. It was never designed to impress investors. It was designed to be right.

FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
Is Sessional an agency or a marketplace?
No. Sessional charges 0% commission and takes no part in your bookings or your pay. The public directory is optional and exists so workplaces can find you directly; the relationship, and every dollar, stays yours.
Does Sessional touch my money?
No. There is no trust account and no Sessional bank account in the middle. Invoices go out in your name and payments land in your account. Sessional records them; it never holds them.
Does Sessional lodge my BAS or tax return?
No, and we say so plainly. Sessional prepares BAS-ready figures across all your income sources. Your registered tax agent lodges, or your accountant works from the Xero sync on Pro. Sessional shows your position; it does not provide tax or financial advice.
I work through a company or a trust. Can I still use Sessional?
Yes. Sessional supports sole traders, Pty Ltd companies and trusts, and the PSI diagnostic is built for exactly the questions that come with those structures. Percentage-based services that support sole traders only cannot take you with them when you incorporate.
What does the Free plan actually do?
Real work, deliberately. You get 5 shifts and 5 invoices every month with core tracking, enough to run a quiet month end to end, not a demo. When your volume outgrows it, Plus is a flat $29.99 a month.
