Supervision is the most important unpaid work in psychology.
You do it because someone did it for you. Bridgyr is the first platform that treats it like the professional practice it is.

How it works
Your week, with and without the right tools
Monday — Session logs
Without
Your provisional had four client sessions last week. You know this because they told you in an email on Sunday night. The spreadsheet they're supposed to update has last month's entries. You'll chase it later.
With Bridgyr
Activities logged through the week, reviewed and approved by you in one place. No chasing. No retrospective stacks. You see what happened while it's still fresh.

Tuesday — The supervisee you forgot about
Without
You supervise four provisionals. Two are on track. One you're worried about. One you haven't thought about in a fortnight because the other three took all your attention. You don't have a system that tells you who's falling behind — you have a feeling.
With Bridgyr
A dashboard that shows all your supervisees at a glance. Who's on track. Who needs attention. Which sessions are waiting for review. The one you haven't thought about is the one the system surfaces for you.

Wednesday — Direct observation
Without
You sat in on a client session last week. You gave verbal feedback. You meant to write it up. It's now Wednesday and the detail is fading. When it comes time to evidence competency, you'll be reconstructing from memory.
With Bridgyr
Observation recorded, feedback attached to the competency framework, signed off. The evidence lives in the relationship, not your memory.
Direct Observation #2 — Intervention
Emma Wright · 14 Feb 2026 · Dr Sarah Chen
“Effective use of Socratic questioning. Maintained therapeutic alliance through a challenging disclosure.”
Thursday — Supervision hour
Without
An hour you can't bill. You wouldn't trade it — this is the work you care about. But the forty-five minutes of admin that follows it — updating the logbook, reconciling hours, formatting the progress note — is time you resent. That's the hour that comes from your evening.
With Bridgyr
The session is logged. Hours are tracked. Competency tags are applied. The admin that used to follow the session is already done — because the system captured it as you worked, not after.
Supervision session — Individual
Thu 20 Mar 2026 · 10:00–11:00
“Discussed managing counter-transference in a complex trauma case. Good insight into personal reactions…”
Friday — The question you can't answer
Without
A colleague asks how their supervisee is progressing across the new competency domains. You know the answer intuitively — you've been supervising them for eight months. But you couldn't produce a structured record right now. You definitely couldn't produce it in 14 days.
With Bridgyr
Competency evidence accumulates across the internship. Every observation, every progress review, every supervisor note is mapped to the eight domains. The record isn't something you produce at the end — it's something that's been building all year.

You've been making this work for years. Then December 2025 made it harder.
The Psychology Board updated the 5+1 Guidelines. The responsibility didn't change — you were always answerable for your supervisees' practice. But the documentation expectations did. New hour minima. New competency domains. A formal attestation that's now the sole practice-based checkpoint between a provisional and general registration. The weight you were already carrying got heavier.
Time cost
1–2 hours
per supervisee, per week — unpaid
Every supervision hour is an hour you're not seeing paying clients. The admin that follows it is another hour you're not billing for.
Framework complexity
8 domains
no rubric, no exemplars
The updated framework asks you to attest to competence across eight professional domains — including three that are genuinely new. No shared rubric exists. No exemplar exists.
Regulatory exposure
14 days
to produce a complete record
You're responsible for your supervisee's practice — if something goes wrong, the investigation starts with you. But if the Board asked for a complete record tomorrow, most supervisors would be reconstructing from five places.
This isn't just about your records. It's about the profession's future.
40,000
registered psychologists in Australia
Only a fraction hold Board-Approved Supervisor status — and even fewer can afford the time and cost to actively supervise. The government's 2024 investment in 2,860 new supervisor training places is an acknowledgement that the current model isn't sustainable.
Supervision has been treated as unpaid, invisible work carried by a small group of people who care enough to do it. When supervisors step back because the overhead becomes unsustainable, provisionals lose their pathway. And the profession loses the people who cared enough to show up.
Bridgyr exists to make supervision sustainable for the people who show up to do it.
Every other supervision tool was built around the provisional's experience. Bridgyr was built around yours.
The existing tools help provisionals log hours, track sessions, and generate compliance documents. They're useful — for the provisional side of the equation. But none of them start from the question supervisors actually ask: “across all my supervisees, who needs my attention, and can I stand behind the record if someone asks?”
Bridgyr starts there. One dashboard for all your supervisees. Competency assessment mapped to the eight professional domains. Documentation that builds as you work, not at the end of the year. Supervision that's sustainable — not scattered across five systems and held together by goodwill.
The first platform purpose-built for supervisors under the new 5+1 framework.
Built by people who studied the system
Not psychologists. Not a startup looking for a market. A team that went looking for the problem closest to the supply side of mental health care they could actually affect — and built for the people the system forgot to support.
Bootstrapped and staying that way
No venture capital. No exit pressure. Bridgyr is funded by the supervisors who use it — which means our incentive is to build something worth keeping, not something worth selling.

Questions
Join the founding cohort
Bridgyr is being shaped by a small group of Board-approved supervisors who are tired of making it work with spreadsheets and goodwill. Founding cohort members get early access, direct input into what we build first, and a voice in making supervision technology work for supervisors — not just around them.
