Psynth Is Now Live in Australia and New Zealand

Psynth Is Now Live in Australia and New Zealand

The short version: Psynth, the platform purpose-built for psychological report writing, is now available to psychologists across Australia and New Zealand. Clinicians turn raw assessment data (handwritten notes, PDFs, test protocols) into a PhD-smart first draft in minutes, with the psychologist always making the diagnosis. For a limited time, AU and NZ practitioners get special pricing: $25 USD per month plus $25 USD per report. Start a free trial in the app, then email support@psynth.ai to redeem the offer.

We have quietly been serving clinicians in Australia and New Zealand for the past 60 days. It is time we said it out loud: Psynth is here, and it is built for the exact bottleneck the region is facing right now.
‍

The maths does not work, and the profession already knows it

In April 2026, the federal Department of Health released its Psychology Supply and Demand Study. The headline number is hard to look away from: a psychologist shortfall of 57.3% in 2025, projected to reach 96.6% by 2038. Put plainly, on current trajectory the country will have roughly half the psychologists it needs.
‍

Psychologists already carry an enormous share of the load, delivering about half of all Medicare-billed mental health services, and demand keeps climbing. Medicare-subsidised psychology use rose more than 20% between 2020 and 2022. One in five Australians experiences a mental health condition each year.
‍

Governments are responding with money: a $1 billion mental health plan including $90 million to train 1,200 additional workers, on top of an earlier $91.3 million package adding up to 500 postgraduate psychology places. All of it is needed. None of it is fast. A new psychologist is years away from independent practice.

So here is the uncomfortable question for anyone running an assessment practice: if you cannot hire your way out of the gap in any reasonable timeframe, how do the clinicians you already have see more people?
‍

Where the strain actually lands: assessments

Therapy waitlists get the headlines. Assessment waitlists quietly do more damage, because they gate access to diagnosis, funding, and support.
‍

A 2026 University of Wollongong "secret shopper" study contacted more than 700 clinicians and found the average wait for an adult's first ADHD appointment was just over 10 weeks, with some waits stretching to a year. For children, the average was 19 weeks, with some families waiting up to two years. Public neurodevelopmental assessment services, where they exist, routinely run 12 to 24 months or longer.
‍

The cost picture is just as stark. A standard ADHD assessment ranges from roughly $500 to $2,500 or more, and a combined autism plus ADHD assessment can run up to around $3,780 at some clinics.
‍

Here is the part that rarely makes the news. A meaningful slice of that timeline and that cost is not clinical work. It is the report. The hours spent transcribing a WISC-V protocol, pulling BASC-3 and Conners ratings into a coherent narrative, cross-checking ADOS-2 observations against developmental history, and turning a desk covered in puzzle pieces into a defensible 12-page document. That is the work that follows clinicians home on a Sunday night. It is also the work that caps how many families a practice can serve.
‍

From clerical work to clinical work

Psynth was built to take the clerical weight off the report so the clinician can spend their judgement where it actually matters.
‍

You upload the raw material: handwritten notes, scored protocols, PDFs, qualitative observations. Psynth organises it and produces a structured, PhD-smart first draft, section by section, in your voice and format. It surfaces patterns across the data. It does not diagnose. You do. The clinician is always the human in the loop, reviewing, editing, and signing off on every word.
‍

The results our clinicians report are not abstract:
‍

• Dr Michelle Molina has not worked a weekend since switching. Her first drafts went from three or four hours to roughly 15 minutes.
  ‍
• Dr Lexie Fladhammer saw a 2 to 3x increase in assessment capacity and a 4x improvement in report speed, without hiring.
  ‍
• Dr Chuck Edgington, who runs complex multi-measure batteries, describes Psynth as the intelligent workspace that finally organises the puzzle pieces instead of leaving them scattered across five tools.
  ‍

That capacity is the whole point. In a market short of more than half the psychologists it needs, a 2 to 3x lift per clinician is not a productivity stat. It is a shorter waitlist. It is a family that gets an answer this term instead of next year.
‍

Under the hood, Psynth supports 370+ assessments and uses a test-by-test format, so there is no cross-report contamination of patient information. It is the agentic operating system for psychological assessment, designed by people who have written these reports, including a staff psychologist on our team.

New Zealand is fighting the same battle

Aotearoa's shortage is every bit as real. The New Zealand Psychological Society has estimated roughly 1,000 fewer psychologists than the country needs. Access has gone backwards: more than 74,000 patients were waiting four or more months for a first specialist assessment by February 2025, up from 51,000 in mid-2023, and average waits to see a public psychologist have sat around 15 weeks.
‍

Private practitioners are increasingly the safety net for adolescents and adults who cannot get through the public door. The same logic applies: the report is where the hours go, and giving each clinician back those hours is the fastest lever available.
‍

Is Psynth compliant with Australian and New Zealand privacy law?

Short answer: yes, and we have designed for it deliberately. Patient data is sensitive information, and we treat it that way.
‍

Under Australia's APP 8, before you send patient information to an overseas recipient you must take reasonable steps to ensure that recipient handles it in line with the Australian Privacy Principles, and you remain accountable for it. Storing data on overseas servers counts as a cross-border disclosure. New Zealand's IPP 12 works the same way: you may disclose overseas where the recipient is bound to comparable safeguards.
‍

This is where our architecture helps rather than hurts. Australian and New Zealand data currently resides in Ireland, inside the European Union and under GDPR, one of the strongest privacy regimes in the world. Both APP 8 and IPP 12 recognise disclosure to a jurisdiction with substantially similar or comparable protections, backed by enforceable contractual safeguards. We provide that contract (a Data Processing Agreement), and we run a zero-retention architecture: once your draft is generated, we do not store the patient data behind it.
‍

Our full compliance stack is HIPAA, GDPR, PIPEDA, SOC 2 Type 2, and ISO 27001, third-party verified by Assured Information Solutions. You can review the detail at trust.psynth.ai.
‍

One honest note, because clinicians deserve the full picture: your APP 8 (or IPP 12) obligation is yours, not ours to erase. What Psynth does is make it straightforward to meet. We give you the DPA and the security posture; you reflect the overseas disclosure in your own privacy collection notice, as you would for any cloud tool. It is a short paragraph, and we are happy to help you word it.
‍

And for practices that want their data onshore: an Australian cluster is coming. When it goes live, AU data will be hosted in Australia. We will tell you the day it does.

What Psynth costs in Australia and New Zealand

For a limited time, AU and NZ practitioners get special launch pricing:
‍

• $25 USD per month for the subscription
  ‍
• $25 USD per report
  ‍

Run the maths against your own fee schedule. With Australian ADHD assessments billing from $500 to $2,500 or more, and combined neurodevelopmental assessments climbing toward $3,780, a single completed report covers months of Psynth several times over. The time it returns is the real return; the price is close to a rounding error against one assessment.

‍

The shortage is not going to resolve itself this decade. The clinicians already doing the work are the ones who will carry the region through it. Psynth exists to give them their hours, and their weekends, back.
