At Walker Street Doctors, we’re always looking for ways to improve how we work—so we can give you the best possible care.
We’re excited to share that all of our doctors are now using Lyrebird Dictate Scribe, a secure, Australian-made medical dictation tool, as the default way we take clinical notes. And the results have been outstanding—for both our patients and our team.
Here’s what it means for your care.
What Is Lyrebird Dictate Scribe?
Lyrebird is Australian-built software that allows your doctor to dictate clinical notes during or immediately after your consultation. These notes are transcribed and returned quickly, so your doctor can review and edit them on the spot.
No transcripts are stored, no conversations are used to train the software, and all data is automatically deleted after 24 hours.
Why We’re Using It
Because it lets us do what matters most: focus on you.
Instead of juggling typing, talking, and thinking all at once, we can now have more natural, uninterrupted conversations. Lyrebird reduces the cognitive load on our doctors, so we’re fully present with you during your consult, and we don’t have to stay back late rewriting notes after-hours.
It’s a change that’s made a real difference in our day-to-day lives.
- We finish on time more often
- We love our job more
- Our notes are higher quality and more comprehensive
- Your care is even more accurately documented
We Still Edit Every Note
While Lyrebird provides an excellent starting point, your doctor reviews and edits every single note. This ensures accuracy and allows us to refine the details that matter most.
This isn’t a “record and forget” system—it’s a tool we control, and one we’re proud to use in a thoughtful, secure, and patient-centred way.
Your Privacy is Protected
We understand that trust is everything. That’s why we’ve chosen Lyrebird Dictate Scribe:
- 100% Australian-made and operated
- No recordings or transcripts are saved
- All data is deidentified and deleted automatically after 24 hours
- The software is trained externally, not on your consultations
Your privacy, confidentiality, and data security remain as important to us as ever.
The Bottom Line?
Smarter note-taking means better notes, more focus, and more human connection.
We’re proud to be using technology that enhances our care—not replaces it. At Walker Street Doctors, we’ll never stop looking for ways to improve the experience for both our patients and our doctors.
Thank you for trusting us with your care
