About Sessional
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.
Our mission
Every self-employed clinician, from GPs to pharmacists to paramedics, should have the tools to bill, chase, and reconcile their own work.
A single-user tool that lived on one GP's laptop grew into a profession-aware platform for shifts, GST-ready invoices, super, and compliance.
Built for healthcareThe founder story
Built around the work as it really happened, then rebuilt for every Australian locum healthcare professional.
01.1
My father has been a GP for over 45 years. I grew up watching the early mornings, home visits, and paperwork that never ended. Locum work between workplaces added the admin burden of running your own show with no proper tools.
01.2
Super contributions reconciled by hand every quarter. Invoices rebuilt from memory. Rates and terms buried in email chains. Mileage scrawled on envelopes at tax time. Payments chased with polite follow-up emails and hope.
01.3
What existed was either an expensive marketplace taking a cut of every shift, or nothing at all.
01.4
I'm a software engineer. In 2014 I built a single-user tool on his laptop to track every shift, reconcile super and tax, and chase invoices. He used it privately for a decade. It worked.
01.5
I rebuilt my dad's tool from the ground up, opened it to everyone, and shipped it as Sessional.
01.6
It has grown into a tool for GPs, pharmacists, nurses, and more. Ten years of running it for one stubborn user shaped how every feature works.
01.7
A locum pharmacist juggling shifts across three pharmacies has the same workflow as a GP covering shifts at five workplaces. Track the work, invoice for it, log expenses, stay compliant.
01.8
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.
The product
Ten years of use by one GP became a working record for Australian locums across 10 AHPRA professions.
What we believe
01 | Healthcare first
Sessional understands shift work, 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.
