For surgeons & surgical assistants

Fill your operating list.

SurgNet connects surgeons who need a surgical assistant with qualified assistants ready to step in, in minutes, not phone calls.

Privacy-first Built by a doctor

Urgent alerts by SMS

A case opens up last-minute? SurgNet texts your on-call assistants the moment a matching urgent list is posted, so you're not making calls between cases. An AI voice call that phones them one by one is coming soon.

On-call alerts

Set your status and get notified the moment matching work is posted.

AHPRA registration checked

A person checks every account against the public AHPRA register before it's approved.

Privacy-first contact

Choose how much surgeons share: direct contact or rooms-only.

Live job feed

Filter assisting lists by discipline. New lists appear as they're posted.

Post again in seconds

Repeat a previous list or pick from your own hospitals, instead of retyping it.

One profile, both roles

Surgeon and assistant in a single account, with the right tools for each.

Common questions
How much does SurgNet cost?
SurgNet is free during the pilot. We will share pricing well before that changes, and pilot members will be the first to know. We will never charge you retrospectively.
Do you store patient information?
No. SurgNet handles the logistics of a list: hospital, date, times, procedures and who is assisting. It is not a medical record and holds no patient details. Our Terms of Use prohibit entering patient information, and the app warns you if something in a list looks like a patient identifier.
Is there a mobile app?
SurgNet works as an app on your phone. Open it in your browser and choose "Install" (or "Add to Home Screen") and it behaves like a native app, including push notifications for new lists, applicants and reminders. No app store needed, and updates are automatic.
Who can join?
Surgeons who need assisting cover, qualified surgical assistants, and GPs interested in surgical assisting or refining skills like skin surgery. Every account is checked before approval, including AHPRA registration.
