PRACIQ
Every specialist. Real-time. One click to refer.
When two renowned dermatologists retired in the Illawarra, a critical gap appeared overnight. GPs were left navigating an increasingly opaque specialist landscape, with little visibility into who was available or where to send their patients.
PracIQ addresses this challenge directly. The platform provides real time specialist availability, verified peer informed reviews, and seamless one click referrals, all within the constraints of a standard fifteen minute consultation.
Designed to support clinical decision making rather than complicate it, PracIQ enables GPs to connect patients with the right specialist quickly and confidently.

GPs are making referrals blind.
170 million GP consultations happen in Australia every year. In roughly 30% of them, the GP writes a referral to a specialist. Today, that referral is based on memory, word-of-mouth, and guesswork — not data.
The GP doesn't know the specialist's wait time. They don't know if they're accepting new patients. They don't know if they're any good. Up to 30% of referrals are never completed — the patient gives up.
Two dermatologists retired.
Every GP was blind.
Two of the Illawarra's most renowned dermatologists retired in the same year. Overnight, every local GP lost their go-to referral. They had no idea where to send patients. They didn't have time to research alternatives during a 15-minute consult.
Patients were left in limbo. Referrals went to whoever the GP happened to remember — not whoever was best, available, or closest. This isn't an Illawarra problem. This is a systemic failure across Australian healthcare.
"PracIQ is the platform I wish existed when those dermatologists retired. Real-time availability, reviews, one-click referral — all within the consult."
The 60-second
referral.
Within a single GP consultation, PracIQ lets you find the right specialist, check their reviews, and send a digital referral — all before the patient leaves the room.
Search
Type a specialty or select from the list. Instantly see every available specialist within the patient's preferred radius.
Compare
Each specialist card shows: next available appointment, wait time, patient reviews, GP reviews, AHPRA badge, and bulk billing status.
Refer
One click sends a digital referral with patient details and clinical notes. The specialist receives it instantly. The patient gets a booking link.
Track
Your dashboard shows every referral status: pending, booked, attended, or lapsed. Get alerts if a patient hasn't booked within 7 days.
Dual review
system.
Today, there is no trusted, structured review system for medical specialists in Australia. Google Reviews are unverified and easily gamed. PracIQ builds something that has never existed before.
Verified patients rate their experience on structured dimensions: wait time accuracy, communication quality, treatment effectiveness, and overall satisfaction. Visible to everyone.
GPs rate specialists on quality of reports, timeliness, clinical outcomes, and communication. A trusted, professional peer-review layer that has never existed before.
Every specialty.
One platform.
PracIQ covers the full spectrum of medical specialists and allied health practitioners — from orthopaedic surgeons to dietitians. GPs search one platform for every referral they need.
GP referrals.
On autopilot.
A new specialist opening a practice has no efficient way to tell the region's GPs they exist. PracIQ solves this instantly. Your real-time availability is visible to every GP on the platform. Good reviews push you to the top.
- Real-time availability listing — GPs see your open slots
- Review-based ranking — quality is rewarded, not networking

Four moats.
Booking is a commodity. Anyone can build a booking engine. PracIQ's defensibility comes from compounding network effects, data, and infrastructure that get stronger with every referral.
Referral Network Effect
Every GP who joins makes the platform more valuable for specialists (more referrals). Every specialist who joins makes it more valuable for GPs (more options). Multi-sided and cross-practitioner — exponentially harder to replicate than single-specialty booking.
Review Data Moat
After 12 months, PracIQ will have the only structured, verified review dataset for specialists in Australia — from both patients AND GPs. This dataset is impossible to replicate without building the same platform from scratch.
Availability Aggregation
Integrating with dozens of practice management systems (Cliniko, Best Practice, Medical Director, Genie, Splose) for real-time calendar sync. Each integration requires commercial agreements and ongoing maintenance. A massive infrastructure moat.
Regulatory Compliance
Operating across multiple practitioner types requires compliance with AHPRA, Privacy Act, My Health Records Act, Medicare billing rules, and state health legislation. PracIQ builds this incrementally — new entrants must navigate it all from day one.
