Built from 45 years of locum experience.
My father has been a GP for over 45 years. I built version one for him in 2014. He used it privately for a decade before I rebuilt it for everyone else.
How it started
One stubborn user, ten years of real-world use, then a tool for every Australian locum.
A single-user tool that lived on one GP's laptop grew, beat by beat, into a profession-aware platform: shifts, GST-ready invoices, super, and compliance, for clinicians of every discipline.
Our mission
Every shift, every invoice, every dollar. One record you own.
Every self-employed clinician, from GPs to pharmacists to paramedics, with the tools to bill, chase, and reconcile their own work.
The story
It began with one GP and a problem worth solving.
My father has been a GP for over 45 years. I grew up watching the reality of general practice: the early mornings, the home visits, the paperwork that never ended. When he worked as a locum between organisations, I saw something worse: the admin burden of running your own show with no proper tools.
Super contributions reconciled by hand every quarter. Invoices rebuilt from memory. Rates and terms buried in email chains. Mileage scrawled on the back of envelopes at tax time. Payments chased with polite follow-up emails and hope.
I'm a software engineer. So in 2014 I built him version one: a single-user tool that lived on his laptop, that he and he alone used to track every session, reconcile his super and tax, and chase his own invoices. He used it privately for a decade. It worked.
When I looked at what was available to other locum healthcare professionals, I was genuinely frustrated. The options were either expensive marketplace platforms that take a cut of every session, or nothing at all. So I rebuilt my dad's tool from the ground up, opened it to everyone, and shipped it as Sessional.
It has grown into a tool for locum healthcare professionals of every discipline: GPs, pharmacists, nurses, and more. Ten years of running it for one stubborn user shaped how every feature works.
The problem is universal. A locum pharmacist juggling shifts across three pharmacies has the same workflow as a GP covering sessions at five organisations. Track the work, invoice for it, log expenses, stay compliant. The tools should understand that, and now they do.
This is not a marketplace. This is not an agency. This is a professional tool, built for healthcare professionals, by someone who understands what the job actually demands.

What we believe
Four principles that shape every decision
Built for healthcare, not freelancing
Sessional understands sessions and shifts, not gigs. It knows about super contributions, ATO cents-per-km mileage rates, AHPRA registration and the difference between a day rate and an hourly rate.
