   In-person, telehealth, or hybrid. Audio is deleted immediately once it's processed. If it can't upload, it stays on your own device so you can retry; if it uploads but can't be processed, it's held in Australia for up to 48 hours, then deleted.

• MDT Meeting MinutesMulti-disciplinary team meeting minutes documenting case discussions, decisions, and action items.
• Case Conference NoteStructured case conference note for multi-provider meetings about an individual client. Captures attendees and roles, the case formulation discussed, agreed care plan and provider responsibilities, risk and safeguarding decisions, and review date. Suitable for MBS case conference items and for shared-care documentation across services.
• Ward Round NoteInpatient ward round entry capturing interval progress since the last review, current MSE/clinical status, observations and investigations, medication changes, response and side effects, and the day's plan. Matches the structure registrars and consultants expect on the chart for psychiatric and medical inpatient teams.
• Discharge Planning NoteMulti-disciplinary discharge planning documentation for inpatient-to-community transitions.
• Care Coordination NoteCare coordination contact log for activities outside direct client sessions — phone calls with other providers, advocacy, referrals, transitions, and inter-agency follow-up. Records who was contacted, the purpose, decisions made, and next steps. Useful where care coordination time is billable or auditable (NDIS, public mental health, case management).
• ISBAR Clinical HandoverAustralian national standard clinical handover format (ACSQHC) for shift changes, unit transfers, and clinician escalation.
