Case Note Management Software for Schools.
Review feedback from our school community of users.
We forgo expensive marketing mediums in order to actively minimize our overhead costs, keeping our subscription costs stable for our users.
Instead, FocusCS relies solely on word of mouth recommendations from our schools, which we believe provide an unbiased, genuine insight into the experiences of our real users.
“FocusCS has been a game changer for our school and our role. It’s intuitive, private, the interface is smooth and uncomplicated, and the customer service is comprehensive and responsive. This team have worked with us to tailor our system to our needs, they gave us comprehensive onboard training and have responded to every bit of feedback we’ve sent through. I have had to use several alternative databases in the past and can say with complete confidence that any school counsellor would be overjoyed at switching from those alternatives to FocusCS. Bless them!”

Catholic Ladies’ College, VIC (2024)
"FocusCS has been an absolute game-changer for our counselling team. Since implementing it at the start of 2025, the platform has scaled beautifully as the team has grown. What impressed me most was the depth of built-in features — tracking referrals, case notes, consent forms, session scheduling and progress tracking, all centralised in one system. That has eliminated the back-and-forth of spreadsheets, made admin straightforward, and given me confidence we are meeting our record keeping obligations. I've also been impressed that the system is continually updated, and the support from the FocusCS team has been outstanding. I have no hesitation in recommending FocusCS to any school counselling or psychologist team."

“We have been using FocusCS for almost a year now after having a traditional paper file/note taking system. FocusCS has helped us save a lot of admin time in our note taking and other related tasks. It has also helped us streamline some of our processes as well as aided in how we track students from referral through to discharge. The staff at FocusCS have been extremely responsive to our queries and questions and have been very proactive with our feedback. I would definitely recommend it as a solid option as a school counselling note taking system.”

“With the impending closure in 2024 of the case note management software that we were using I started looking for a suitable replacement. At first, it was a challenge to find a provider that understood the needs of the school and school counsellors, until I discovered FocusCS. Their friendly and highly professional administrative team made it very easy to make the switch, and they provided excellent support through their onboard training. I am very impressed with how quickly they respond to any inquiry or question that I may have. They are always open to feedback and seem determined to continue to make sure they give the end user the best possible outcome and experience.”
