General

What is Astra Health?

Astra Health is a multilingual medical AI scribe that captures consultations, drafts structured clinical notes, and helps clinicians generate letters, care plans, and referrals, with workflows tailored to Australian primary care and MBS requirements.

Who is Astra Health for?

Astra Health is built for all clinicians, including GPs, specialists, and allied health professionals, and is especially optimised for Australian primary care and community settings.

How does Astra Health work during a consultation?

Clinicians sign in, start a consult or dictation, and Astra transcribes the conversation in real time, then auto‑drafts a structured summary that the clinician reviews, edits, and approves before exporting or filing.
Features and Workflow

What can Astra Health generate for me?

Astra can produce structured clinical notes, MBS‑ready care plans, referral letters, and patient summaries that you can copy, download, or transfer into your EMR/PMS.

Does Astra support my existing workflow and EMR/PMS?

Astra is designed to sit alongside existing systems so you can finalise notes, then copy, download, or integrate outputs into your EMR/PMS without changing your core workflow.

Which languages does Astra Health support?

Astra Health supports transcription and documentation in over 100–145 languages and dialects, allowing clinicians to work effectively with diverse patient populations.

Do clinicians still need to review Astra’s notes?

Yes. Astra is an assistive tool: clinicians must review, edit, and approve all AI‑generated documentation before it becomes part of the medical record.
Pricing and Plans

How much does Astra Health cost?

Astra offers a monthly Pro plan starting at AU$99 per clinician (ex GST) with access to premium features and unlimited consultations and documents. Astra also has an integration plan that support exclusive integrations with some EMR/PMS used by GPs, specialists, and allied health professionals.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. New users can start a 14‑day free trial with no credit card required, giving full access to core features before committing to a paid plan.

Do you offer enterprise pricing?

Yes. Astra provides enterprise plans for larger practices and organisations, with custom pricing, a dedicated account manager, and enhanced privacy and security options.
Privacy, Security, and Compliance

Is Astra Health compliant with Australian privacy laws?

Astra Health states compliance with HIPAA, the Australian Privacy Principles (including APP 3), and the Australian Privacy Act 1988, with informed consent, data sovereignty, and clinician oversight built into its design.

Where is patient data stored?

For Australian and New Zealand users, Astra stores personal information within the local jurisdiction and applies encryption in transit and at rest, plus strict access controls and security monitoring.

How does Astra handle data security and breaches?

Astra uses encryption, access controls, monitoring, and regular security audits, and follows the Australian Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, including assessment and notification if a serious data breach occurs.

Does Astra sell patient data or use it for advertising?

Astra’s privacy policy explains how personal data is collected, used, and shared; it emphasises lawful, fair, and necessary collection and a focus on healthcare delivery and service improvement rather than advertising, subject to the full policy terms.
Getting Started and Support

How do I get started?

Clinicians can sign up on the website, start a 14‑day free trial, customise templates and note style, and then begin using Astra during live consults or for dictated notes.

What support is available?

Paid plans include priority chat and email support, along with help setting up custom templates; enterprise customers receive a dedicated account manager and tailored onboarding.

Can Astra replace my current dictation or “Google/ChatGPT” use?

Astra includes an “Ask Astra” feature designed to provide clinical‑workflow‑aligned assistance so clinicians can reduce reliance on generic search engines or general‑purpose chatbots for documentation‑related tasks.
