Referrals: invite colleagues, earn a discount

Standard sign-up assigns a referral code to your account. When a colleague joins through your link, Sessional records the connection between your two accounts. Your reward becomes eligible after that colleague makes their first payment for Plus or Pro. Signing up, verifying an email or starting a free trial does not qualify.

Rewards use discount coupons. Checkout can automatically apply a referral coupon for your colleague when an eligible referral offer is active and no automatic promotion takes priority. Your earned reward is queued separately after they pay. It can be applied when an eligible reward coupon is available and your subscription can accept it. Check your subscription through Billing.

Copy your current link before sharing it. Include the whole address so the sign-up page can recognise the referral code.

Your link and referral counts appear in Refer a colleague on the Personal tab of your profile. The link follows this shape:

sessional.com.au/r/your-code

Press Copy next to the link and share it however suits: email it to a colleague, drop it in a group chat or a locum WhatsApp group, post it to a professional forum, or add it to your email signature. A recognised link opens the sign-up page with your code attached. Ask your colleague to check for the message confirming that the referral code is recognised before completing sign-up.

Good people to share with are the locums in your network who already juggle work across several agencies and direct workplaces: the GP doing shifts at three workplaces, the agency nurse picking up shifts across hospitals, the pharmacist covering regional towns. Explain which parts of your own workflow you use it for. Point them at the pricing page so they can see what Plus and Pro include before they decide.

Your reward qualifies when the colleague you referred makes their first payment for Plus or Pro. A free account or an unpaid trial does not qualify.

• Your colleague may receive an eligible referral coupon at checkout. Check the checkout summary for the discount and its terms.
• You qualify for a queued reward after their first paid-plan payment. Application requires an eligible coupon and an active or trialling subscription without an existing discount, pause or scheduled cancellation.

Each qualifying referral is retained separately. An existing discount is not replaced by a queued referral reward. A reward can remain queued while your subscription is paused or scheduled to cancel.

The referral widget keeps a running tally so you can see where things stand:

• Referred: how many people have signed up through your link.
• Verified: how many of those have confirmed their email address.
• Rewards: how many earned rewards have been applied to your subscription.

Each referral also carries a status chip. Pending means they have signed up but not yet verified, Signed up means their email is verified, and Rewarded means their first payment has qualified and your discount has been applied. A reward waiting for an existing discount to end is not yet counted as Rewarded.

Referrals are not the only way a discount or free access reaches your account. Some locums are invited onto a trial or onto complimentary Plus directly: see complimentary access and invited trials for how those work and when they end.
