We’re inviting sole practitioners first. Everything you need to write, sign and issue an FCA, without setting up a team.
Request an invite and tell us about your team. For now each new practice starts with one person; we’ll talk to you about colleagues when we get in touch.
Each person has a role. Your lead sees the whole practice’s workload and can read every report, never edit one.
A lead moves an open FCA to another clinician when someone is away. The report records who handed it over and when.
Working on your own? You are your practice’s Practice lead, and nothing about colleagues appears until someone joins.
Say it in any order. Each thing you tell it lands in the part of the FCA where it belongs.
Peter showers standing and holds the rail getting in and out1. He's fine with toast and sandwiches but won't use the stovetop when he's home alone, there was a burn earlier this year2. His aunt does the cooking most nights3. Um, that's it for today.

Results of the assessments you supply, with their limits.
Not recorded. Nothing was supplied, so nothing is written.
Goals, functional impact, and numbered recommendations with rationale.
Peter’s goal, in his words: to cook a hot meal on his own. Each recommendation numbered, with its reason.
Gaps stay gaps.
If you didn’t record it, the report says “Not recorded”. It never fills a gap with a guess.
What happens to what you give it, today.
Assessments are stored in Sydney with Supabase, and the app runs in Sydney on Vercel. OpenAI (ellie and dictation) may process what you send outside Australia. You sign in with Google, or with an email and password.
TheraNotes is built and tested with invented cases, not real participants.
Dictation goes to a speech-to-text service and the words come back to you. The text is kept only if you send it.
The text of an attached document stays with the assessment. The file itself is not stored.
Revisions can’t be overwritten. Each one records the message it answered and the files it read.
Clinicians see the clients assigned to them and their own reports. Leads read every report in the practice and never edit one. Administrators see who the clients are, never what is written about them.
Request an invite: tell us about you and your practice. Asking doesn’t give access by itself.

Yes. We’re inviting sole practitioners first. You set up the practice, you are its Practice lead, and nothing about colleagues appears.
TheraNotes is in closed beta, for registered occupational therapists in Australia, by invitation. Request an invite and TheraNotes reviews each request by hand.
A person at TheraNotes reads your request and checks your ABN and AHPRA registration number on the public registers. We reply by email, and invite practices gradually.
NDIS Functional Capacity Assessments. That is the only report type for now.

It says so. Missing information is marked “Not recorded”, and it asks you when a gap matters. It won’t fill a gap with a guess.
