Collect. Score. Track. Report. Connect.
Outcome measurement and Better Access reporting, without the admin.
Send measures, score them automatically, track change across the episode and produce GP-ready reports you review and approve, with session counts and review dates tracked for you.
PracForms is in development, and we’re building it with a small group of Australian practitioners.
- Better Access session counts and review dates, tracked
- A clinical guide behind every measure
- GP reports as clean PDFs, by secure email
- Connects with Halaxy, with more integrations planned
The problem
Outcome measurement shouldn’t be a second job.
The measures themselves take a few minutes. The work around them doesn’t. You send and chase questionnaires, score them by hand, and copy results into reports. You keep track of which client is due for a review, and you work out what a change in score actually means. PracForms takes on that work, so your time goes to the client in front of you.
How it works
From questionnaire to GP report, in one place.
-
Collect
Send measures to clients by secure link at baseline, during treatment and at discharge. Prefer paper? Clients can complete a measure in the session, and you enter the scores or import the completed form as a PDF. You can also bring in results from other sources.
-
Score
Each measure is scored using its own controlled scoring rules, producing consistent results every time. Questionnaire findings are always kept distinct from clinical diagnosis.
-
Track
See symptom, functioning and wellbeing trajectories across each treatment episode, with measure-specific interpretations of change where the evidence supports them. PracForms also tracks your Better Access session counts and flags when a review or report is due.
-
Report
PracForms prepares clear progress and outcome reports. You review the findings and approve every report before it’s released. Referring GPs receive a clean PDF by standard secure email, so it arrives the way a specialist letter does, with nothing new to log into.
-
Connect
PracForms draws on the referral and client details already held in your practice management system, starting with Halaxy. You don’t re-enter anything, and consent stays anchored to the record you already manage.
What makes PracForms different
Built by a clinician, for the way private practice actually works.
-
A guide behind every measure
Every measure comes with a comprehensive practitioner guide covering its evidence base, its scoring, and what a score or change does and doesn’t support concluding. The guides also explain how to communicate results responsibly, because a measure is more than a number.
-
Built around Better Access
PracForms helps you track session counts, review points and reporting requirements across your whole caseload, so fewer dates and thresholds live in your head. It helps you track compliance; you remain responsible for meeting Better Access requirements.
-
Your data stays in Australia
All data is hosted in Australia on PracForms’ own servers. Each practitioner’s client records are held separately and are never combined with anyone else’s.
-
Nothing new for GPs
Reports go out as clean PDFs by standard secure email. There are no portals for referrers to log into and no new system for them to learn.
-
Works with paper, too
You can use digital links, paper forms with manual entry, or PDF import, whichever suits each client. Where you enter or import scores yourself, you remain responsible for their accuracy.
-
Stay in control of your data
You can access, manage and export your practice data whenever you need it, without unnecessary barriers or platform lock-in.
Measures
Widely used measures, properly supported.
PracForms’ measure library focuses on the outcome measures most widely used in Australian private practice for Better Access reporting. Each measure has its own scoring, interpretation and governance rules, because a single change rule doesn’t work across different questionnaires.
Who it’s for, and pricing
Built for private practice. Priced like it.
PracForms is designed for psychologists, counsellors and allied mental-health practitioners, especially sole traders and part-time practitioners with mostly Better Access clients. Group practices pay the same rate per practitioner.
$19
per practitioner, per month
Flat, with no per-client fees and no tiers.
That’s less than a typical gap fee on a single session.
Planned pricing at launch. Practitioner Pilot participants lock in their rate.
Practitioner Pilot
Help us build it around real practice.
We’re inviting a small group of practitioners to use PracForms with real clients before launch.
What you get:
- Free access throughout the pilot
- Direct input into the features we build
- Your rate locked in at launch
What we ask: Use PracForms with some of your clients, and tell us honestly what works and what doesn’t.
Not ready to pilot? Register your interest and we’ll let you know when PracForms launches.
Our vision
To make meaningful outcome measurement a simple, connected and natural part of everyday practice. That means no time lost to manual collection, scoring and reporting, progress that’s clear from baseline to discharge, and technology that quietly handles the repetitive work.
Better information. Less administration. More time for care.
The Founders
A clinician and an engineer, building it properly.
PracForms is led by a former clinical psychologist and a software engineer who share one principle. Technology should manage the complexity behind the scenes and leave professional judgement with the practitioner.
