AI scribe for Australian GPs
Last updated 12 November 2026
MBS Scribe records the consult in your browser, in the room or on a call. When you stop, it drafts the note and checks it against the Medicare Benefits Schedule, with the sentence behind every item.
How a consult runs
- Set up. Type the patient’s age and pick in person, video or phone.
- Ask, then record. Read your consent wording to the patient and mark their answer. Recording can’t start until you choose Patient agreed or Patient declined, and the choice and its time go into the note and the audit log. Start recording connects your computer’s microphone, and the transcript builds as you talk.
- Stop. The AI runs once, when recording stops. The note is drafted from the transcript, then checked against the MBS.
- Review and copy. Read the note, use Edit beside a line to change it, then copy the note and the item numbers into your practice software, a click each.
The note
- Laid out the way you’d write it: Subjective, Objective, then Assessment & Plan for each problem.
- Every line keeps its time, so you can find the sentence it came from in the transcript. A line that can’t be traced is marked so you check it.
- Yours to change. You review and edit every note, and decide every item.
The MBS check comes with it
Once the note is drafted, the claim check lists the MBS items for the consult, each Supported, Possible or Not supported, with the sentence that supports it, its Medicare benefit and the total. Fixed, dated rules decide, against the schedule in force on the date of service. The AI only picks out the facts. Nothing is sent to Medicare. See how the claim check works and the item families it covers.
In the room or on a call
The computer’s microphone hears you both. On a video call, play the call through your speakers rather than headphones, and turn off noise cancelling. For a phone call, put the phone on speaker beside the computer. Video and phone attendances are checked like any other.
Where it runs
- Audio is never stored. Sound goes straight from your browser to transcription in Sydney.
- Stored in Australia: notes, transcripts and the audit log are stored in Sydney.
- AI overseas, for now: AI note drafting and fact finding run on Anthropic’s service outside Australia, as the privacy policy explains.
- Not used for training: nothing you record is used to train AI models.
What it won’t do
It never proposes a diagnosis, a test or a treatment, and it never submits a claim. You claim in your own practice software.
Your part
Ask the patient, and anyone else on the call, before you record, and mark their answer. Read the note before you use it. You stay responsible for the record and for what you claim. The terms set this out.

Questions
- Does it work on video and phone calls?
- Yes. The computer's microphone records you both. On a video call, play the call through your speakers rather than headphones. For a phone call, put the phone on speaker beside the computer.
- Is the audio kept?
- No. Sound goes straight from your browser to transcription in Sydney and is never saved.
- Does it connect to my practice software?
- Not directly. Copy note and Copy item numbers put the note and the items on the clipboard, ready to paste into your practice software.
- What if the patient says no to recording?
- Type or paste the note instead, and run the same claim check on it.
- Does it suggest diagnoses or treatments?
- No. It writes up the consult and checks the billing against the schedule. It never proposes a diagnosis, a test or a treatment.
