Specialist Referral Software That Tracks Every GP Letter

From the moment a referral arrives to the moment the patient is booked. Built for Australian specialist practices.

The problem

Referrals Arrive. Then What?

Every specialist practice in Australia depends on GP referrals, and almost every one receives them the same way: fax, email, post, or a letter the patient brings in. The referral arrives, and from that moment your practice is responsible for what happens next.

In most practices, "what happens next" lives in a spreadsheet, an inbox, and someone's memory. Some of the patients referred to you never make it to an appointment, and in most practices nobody can say how many. Every one of them is an initial consultation fee that never arrives, before counting the GP relationships it quietly erodes.

SimpleRef closes those gaps. Every referral is logged the moment it arrives, moves through visible stages, and flags itself when it stalls, so your team chases the patients who need chasing instead of auditing a spreadsheet.

Built Around the Specialist Workflow

A visual referral board

Every referral is a card moving through your stages: received, under review, accepted, booked, completed. Overdue referrals surface themselves. Nothing waits in row 47 of a spreadsheet.

AI Intake for faxed and emailed letters

Upload the referral letter and SimpleRef extracts the patient, GP, and clinical details in seconds, with low-confidence fields flagged for a human check. Your team reviews instead of retyping.

A dedicated inbox for every doctor

Each specialist sees their own referrals and can approve, decline, or request more information from any device. No more printed stacks or forwarded emails.

Patient email built in, SMS as an add-on

Confirmations, appointment offers, and reminders sent from the referral board, with consent and opt-out handling built in. Email is included on every plan; SMS is an optional add-on — see pricing.

Analytics your practice owner will actually read

Referral volumes, conversion rates, turnaround times, and top referring GPs, live. Know exactly where patients drop off and which referrers send the most work.
