Who we are –

Synapsea is a telehealth mental health clinic launching in Australia in 2026. We are building a small,



carefully selected founding clinical team — psychologists who want to do serious clinical work without the administrative burden of running their own practice.We are not a large aggregator platform. We are a focused clinic with a transparent model and a founding team that has direct input into how we operate.Founding team positions are limited.

What we cover — so you don’t have to

✔ Medicare billing and claiming✔ Patient scheduling and reminders✔ Intake assessments and referral management✔ Clinical platform and telehealth infrastructure✔ Professional indemnity insurance coverage✔ Marketing and patient acquisitionBefore you apply — a straight answer to the obvious question

“Why take 65% when I could run my own practice at 100%?”

Running your own practice at 100% means you also absorb rent, software, insurance, billing time, no-show losses, and the months it takes to build a referral pipeline. Most solo practitioners net 55–70% of their gross billings after overhead — and spend significant unpaid hours getting there.

With Synapsea, 65% is your floor, not your ceiling after costs. And your time outside sessions is yours.

If you currently work for a clinic or hospital at a lower split or a fixed salary, the comparison is more direct.
