Everything Sessional does

Every feature, grouped by the job it does.

Log shifts, get paid, stay compliant, plan for tax, find work, and connect your accounting. Each card says what the feature does and which tier includes it. Nothing a locum would not recognise from using it.

Log shifts

Log every shift, however you get paid

One place for self-invoiced, agency, and PAYG work, including the roles you pick up outside your primary scope. The tax reserve and earnings view know which shifts to exclude because tax was already withheld on them.

7features on Free

Shift tracking

Free

Log shifts manually or accept requests from workplaces. Track each one from confirmed through to paid. Search, filter, and export.

Agency and PAYG shift tracking

Free

Log every shift, not just the ones you invoice directly. Agency shifts record gross rate plus net pay after commission; PAYG shifts record withheld tax. The tax reserve partitions automatically.

Cross-role work

Free

Record the role worked per shift when it is outside your primary registered scope. A nurse picking up an AIN shift, a paramedic on a patient-transport role, or a dual-registered clinician all get the right chip and rate split.

Shift pay-check (bank and agency nurses)

Free

Mark each shift paid correctly, paid short (record the actual amount), or not paid yet. Cross-employer list of what you are still owed.

Workplace management

Free

Save the workplaces you work with: contact details, type, and notes. Auto-filled when creating shifts.

Workplace lookup

Free

Type the workplace name or address. Sessional pre-fills the address and stamps the workplace details on every invoice. No more retyping clinic details.

Availability calendar

Free

Mark full days or half days as available, tentative, or unavailable. Block book date ranges. Confirmed shifts sync automatically. Visible on your public profile.

Stay compliant

Stay compliant without the Sunday evening

AHPRA registration, indemnity, and state credentials all have expiry dates, evidence requirements, and deadlines. The document store, expiry alerts, and profession-aware categories work the same for all 10 AHPRA professions. Structured forms and portfolios below layer on where a specific board asks for more.

3features on Free2features on Plus

Document store with expiry alerts

Free

Upload your national police check, Working with Children Check, indemnity, AHPRA registration certificate, immunisation record, and training. 30-day expiry alerts on every category. Categories are profession-aware: midwives get clinical-skills categories alongside the basics; other professions see their board-relevant types.

Shareable compliance passport

Plus

Bundle the documents you choose into one link a new workplace opens with no account, to get cleared and booked faster instead of emailing PDFs around. Time-limited, revocable, and view-tracked. You decide what to include; verifying the documents stays with you and the workplace.

Your AHPRA registration number, everywhere it counts

Free

Your AHPRA registration number stored encrypted. Appears on your invoices and your public profile so workplaces can verify at a glance. The dashboard warns before your registration renewal hits the reminder window.

Recency-of-practice hours from your shifts

Free

Practice hours counted automatically from your confirmed shifts so you can evidence recency of practice for your AHPRA renewal and your own CPD record. Free on every tier because registration is a regulatory obligation, not a paid feature.

Midwifery competency tracker (midwives)

Plus

Dedicated log for obstetric emergencies, CTG reviews, waterbirths, breech and instrumental births, and bereavement care. Entries roll into your own clinical record.

Tax & expenses

Keep the taxman calm

Per-invoice tax reserve against YTD gross and the tax-free threshold. Separate math for sole-trader and company slices when you run both. Car travel at the ATO cents-per-km rate, expenses in profession-aware categories. No end-of-year scramble.

5features on Plus

Tax reserve, partitioned by source

Plus

Income tax, the Medicare levy, and company tax updated in real time. Reserve calculated per business structure. Agency-managed income reserves on net. PAYG income is shown separately because tax was already withheld. Multi-year rules (2025-26 and 2026-27 financial years).

Mixed business structures

Plus

Run some shifts as a sole trader and others through a company or trust. Sessional runs the tax reserve calculation once per structure so each slice is priced against the right model and the combined reserve equals the sum of the parts.

Expenses and car travel

Plus

Log expenses across profession-aware categories at the ATO cents-per-km rate. The picker surfaces what your AHPRA board and indemnity provider expect. Attach receipt photos or PDFs. Search, filter, and export to CSV.

Forward earnings forecast and rate benchmark

Plus

See your projected full-year gross and the tax to set aside, annualised from the shifts you have logged. Plus an anonymised benchmark of what other locums in your profession charge, so you know if your rate is where it should be.

AI assistant

Plus

Ask plain-English questions about your own numbers: how much to set aside for tax, how many shifts to hit an income target at your average rate, or how a Sessional feature works. It answers from your own data, never anyone else’s, and points you to a professional for anything that needs regulated advice.

Find work

Find your next booking

Public profile, directory listing, booking requests straight to your dashboard. No commission, no middleman, no agency cut.
