Between sessions, clinicians have limited visibility of how clients are functioning, relying largely on retrospective self-report at the next appointment. At the same time, unsupervised consumer AI chatbots are entering mental health without clinical oversight, creating real safety and quality risks for vulnerable people. These tools sit entirely outside the clinical relationship. ANTSA is Australia’s first clinician-overseen chatbot, bringing the chatbot back into the clinician’s loop by pairing structured between-session data with ANTSAbot, supervised and assigned by the client’s treating practitioner, so that AI extends care safely rather than replacing the clinician.
ANTSA was founded in 2022 by Sally-Anne McCormack, a Clinical Psychologist, and is grounded in clinical practice and a strong governance, compliance, and regulatory framework. The platform keeps qualified practitioners central to care, with AI features that support rather than replace the clinician. Through its membership of Mental Health Australia, ANTSA is actively engaged in mental health reform discussions, and has met with government ministers on the safe, supervised use of AI in mental health care. ANTSA is also pursuing research partnerships and independent evidence generation to strengthen the platform’s clinical foundation.
ANTSA is a digital mental health platform designed for qualified practitioners. At its core is ANTSAbot, Australia’s first clinician-overseen chatbot, bringing the chatbot back into the clinician’s loop by engaging clients between sessions under the supervision of their treating practitioner rather than operating as a standalone consumer tool. The platform also provides structured between-session data capture, an AI scribe for documentation, telehealth, and clinical workflow tools, all governed by the clinician. This keeps the practitioner central to care while extending support beyond the consulting room, offering a supervised alternative to unsupervised consumer AI.
