Hushlane and Southmere Health Partnership

Strategic partnership pitch deck: what each side brings

A strategic partnership pitch deck has to prove that the deal is balanced before any money is discussed, and that the partner can test it without much risk. Hushlane, an invented therapist booking marketplace, proposes a 90 day pilot to Southmere Health, an invented insurer, backed by a 2,000 member cohort where 38 percent booked a session.

PROPOSAL

HUSHLANE × SOUTHMERE HEALTH · FEB 2027

Members seeing a therapist in two days

A 90 day pilot that books Southmere members into Hushlane practitioners.

Noor Achterberg, CEO, Hushlane

For the Southmere member health and partnerships team

10 slides

Slide 1 · cover · Both names on the cover, because a partnership deck is about two organisations, not one.

A shared problem

Southmere members with mental health cover often do not use it. They cannot find a practitioner with a free slot, give up, and the problem reaches the insurer later as a bigger claim. Hushlane fills that gap with live availability.

WHAT WE BOTH SEE

Members wait

Eleven days median to a first session when people search on their own.

Cover goes unused

Members pay for extras cover that includes psychology and rarely claim on it.

Claims arrive later

Delayed care tends to come back as longer and more expensive treatment.

02

Slide 2 · intro · The shared problem stated from the insurer side, because the partner has to recognise it as theirs.

What each side brings and gets

Neither party pays the other to take part in the pilot. Money only moves through the revenue share on slide six.

Slide 4 · metrics · The results from an earlier cohort of 2,000 members, so the pilot is a repeat, not a guess.

How a member is referred

Southmere owns the first two steps, Hushlane the last three.

1

Southmere app shows the offer

Members with extras cover see a Find a therapist link in the app.

2

Cover is confirmed

Southmere confirms the member is covered without sharing their policy details.

3

Member chooses a practitioner

Live availability, filtered by concern, language and the next free slot.

4

Session booked, rebate applied

The rebate comes off at booking, so the member pays only the gap.

5

Weekly report to Southmere

Bookings, attendance and wait times, with no clinical information.

Revenue share by year

Southmere receives a rising share of the 12 percent commission Hushlane earns on member sessions. Members pay nothing extra.

A 90 day pilot

5,000 members in Victoria with extras cover, chosen at random by Southmere.

Before day one

Cover check connected and the app link tested with 20 staff.

Days 1 to 30

Offer goes live to 5,000 members. Weekly bookings reported.

Days 31 to 60

Second email to members who opened but did not book.

Days 61 to 90

Results shared. Southmere decides on a national rollout.

07

Slide 7 · timeline · The 90 day pilot in four stages, so both teams know what happens and when the decision is made.

How we will both judge it

Take up

At least 30 percent of invited members book a session, against 38 percent in the earlier cohort.

Time to care

Median days from first search to an attended session, target under three.

Member rating

At least 85 percent rate the experience 4 or 5 out of 5.

Claims signal

Southmere compares later claims against a matched group, reported at twelve months.

08

Slide 8 · checklist · The four measures the pilot will be judged on, agreed before it starts.

Safeguards

Written into the pilot agreement before any member is invited.

Privacy

No clinical notes leave the practitioner. Southmere receives counts and wait times, never what a member discussed.

Safety

Every practitioner is registration checked. Members in crisis are shown emergency services on every page.

Exit

Either party can end the pilot on 14 days notice. Members keep any sessions already booked.

09

Slide 9 · pillars · Privacy, clinical safety and exit terms, the three questions a health insurer legal team will ask.

Start the pilot on 1 May

If Southmere agrees by the end of March, the cover check can be connected and tested in April.

Slide by slide

Slide one puts both names and the proposal on the cover. Slide two states the shared problem from the insurer side. Slide three is what each side brings and gets. Slide four is the earlier cohort. Slide five is the referral flow, showing which organisation owns each step. Slide six is the revenue share by year. Slide seven is the 90 day pilot in four stages. Slide eight is the four measures both sides will judge it on. Slide nine is privacy, safety and exit. Slide ten asks for a start date.

How to adapt this deck

A distribution partnership with a retailer should replace the referral flow with shelf placement and the revenue share with margin and payment terms. A technology integration partnership should add a slide on who builds and maintains the integration, since that is where these deals stall. A partnership where the partner pays a fee rather than sharing revenue should show the fee against the value delivered, measure by measure, on the same slide as the pilot targets.

What a health insurer asks for

The Department of Health explains what private health insurance extras cover can include, and Private Healthcare Australia represents the insurers whose member health teams receive proposals like this one. An insurer will ask three things before anything commercial: how member data is protected, whether practitioners are properly registered, and how it can leave. Practitioner registration is checked against the national register held by Ahpra. Slide nine answers all three, which is why it sits just before the ask.

What makes this deck work

Give and get comes first

Slide three lists what each side contributes and receives, three rows each, before the revenue share appears on slide six. A partner who sees a fair exchange first reads the money as a detail rather than the point of the meeting.

The pilot is a repeat

Slide four reports an earlier cohort: 2,000 people offered, 760 who booked, 2,580 sessions and 361,000 dollars of bookings at 140 dollars a session. The pilot targets 30 percent take up against that 38 percent, so the bar is set below a result already achieved.

The revenue share adds up

Slide six takes 12,000, 30,000 and 60,000 member sessions at 140 dollars, applies the 12 percent commission and gives Southmere 25, 30 and 35 percent of it: 50,400, 151,200 and 352,800 dollars. Every cell can be checked.

Questions people ask

What goes in a strategic partnership pitch deck?

The shared problem, what each side contributes and receives, evidence it works, how the partnership operates day to day, the commercial terms, a low risk pilot, how success will be measured and how either side can leave. This example covers each in ten slides.

How do I show what each partner gets from the deal?

A table with one column per party and rows for what each contributes and receives. Keep the rows balanced in number and weight. This deck uses three contribute rows and three receive rows for each side, and puts money in a later slide.

Should a partnership proposal start with a pilot?

Usually, yes. A pilot with a fixed length, a small group and agreed measures is far easier for a large partner to approve than a full rollout. End the pilot slide with the date of the decision about what comes next.

How do I present a revenue share in a pitch?

As a table by year with the volume, the revenue it produces and each party share in dollars, not only percentages. State the assumptions in the caption. A share that rises with volume, as here, rewards the partner for promoting the offer.

What safeguards does a health partner expect?

Privacy of member and clinical data, registration checks for practitioners, crisis support for members, and a short notice exit. Write them into the deck and the pilot agreement before any member is invited. Slide nine of this example covers all four.

Can two companies brand one deck?

The deck takes one theme and one brand setting, which can place a logo on every slide. For a joint proposal, put both names in the cover text, as this example does, and keep the theme neutral so neither brand dominates.
