We are incredibly excited to announce our collaboration with the Hunter New England and Central Coast PHN as part of their visionary AI-Enabled General Practice Initiative. This collaboration marks a significant step forward, bringing Lyrebird’s advanced ambient AI technology to GP clinics across the region – a regional deployment of AI scribe technology in Australian primary care.
“This partnership is more than just a technology rollout; it's a commitment to our shared vision with HNECC PHN for a more efficient, sustainable, and patient-centered primary care system. We are deep-seated-obsessed over working closely with Australian GPs and Practice Managers, developing together and refining how our technology can best serve their needs and drive meaningful clinical transformation for their communities.” Kai Van Lieshout, Co-founder of Lyrebird said.
Melissa Pollard, HNECC PHN Executive Manager – Digital Health and Technology at HNECC PHN, highlighted the critical role of innovation in healthcare: “Innovation in healthcare is about finding smarter solutions to the challenges of time, access, and equity. We’re partnering with providers like Lyrebird to pilot AI scribe technology that reduces the administrative burden on clinicians, giving them more time to focus on their patients”
This partnership is a pivotal moment for Australian healthcare, demonstrating how intelligent technology can directly support clinicians, enhance patient care, and truly shape the future of general practice.
The Hunter New England and Central Coast Primary Health Network (HNECC PHN) is a not for profit organisation funded by the Commonwealth government to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the primary health care system. The vision is for healthy people and healthy communities.
The PHN is not a direct provider of services, instead it manages a range of service agreements with organisations to deliver primary health care programs in areas of identified need, with an ongoing emphasis on increasing equity of access to primary care services.
Lyrebird's AI medical scribe streamlines clinical documentation for doctors by securely generating structured notes, referrals, summaries, and reports directly from patient-doctor conversations. The scribe learns and adapts to each doctor's preferred tone and structure, personalising documentation to enhance efficiency and accuracy. With a strong commitment to privacy, Lyrebird stores all data exclusively on Australian servers, fully complying with Australian Privacy Principles, and guarantees data is never sold or used for AI model training. Seamlessly integrating with existing medical record systems like Best Practice and Gentu, Lyrebird is rapidly becoming an indispensable tool, powering 30,000 consults per day in Australia. As one of Australia's fastest-growing healthtech companies, Lyrebird is transforming clinical workflows.
