A partnership to support primary care everywhere it's needed

Ochre Health is focused on delivering and supporting high-quality primary care across metropolitan, regional, and remote communities throughout Australia.

In 2002, two doctors working in rural New South Wales recognised a problem that many communities outside major cities knew too well: persistent workforce shortages and limited access to consistent, quality primary care. They established Ochre Health to address these access challenges head-on.

Since then, the organisation has grown into a network of 70 medical centres and urgent care clinics across Australia, partnering with over 500 independent GPs and providing the infrastructure, governance, and operational support needed to sustain modern general practice across diverse settings.

Enabling clinicians, supporting communities

The organisation's model centres on enabling clinicians to deliver patient-focused care while maintaining clinical autonomy. This is supported by a strong emphasis on community need and long-term health outcomes: ensuring that healthcare infrastructure serves the people who depend on it.

This alignment between clinical autonomy, operational support, and community-centred care has allowed Ochre Health to build sustainable practices in areas where healthcare delivery has historically been challenging.

Why Ochre Health chose Lyrebird

Ochre Health has now chosen Lyrebird to support their clinicians across this national network, addressing one of the most significant pressures facing general practice today: administrative burden.

"Our decision to partner with Lyrebird was based on one simple priority: giving Doctors more time to focus on patients. Across our network, GPs are under increasing administrative pressure, and we were looking for a solution that could integrate seamlessly into our systems to improve the Clinicians experience in a meaningful way." - Patrick Dwyer, Chief Executive Officer

For GPs working across Ochre Health's network - whether in busy urban clinics or smaller regional centres - Lyrebird provides AI-enabled support that reduces the time spent on documentation and administrative tasks, creating capacity for clinicians to focus on patient care.

Lyrebird is proud to support Ochre Health's mission: improving the health of communities, wherever they are.

Welcome, Ochre Health.
