Calls come when your hands are full

    Mid-appointment

    Hands busy. Phone ringing.

    You can’t put a foot down mid-treatment to take a booking.

Who handles what

Chimehill runs the desk. Your podiatrists run the care.

Chimehill handles
  • Regular routine-care appointments with the usual podiatrist
  • Orthotics reviews and follow-ups, as their own appointment types
  • New patient bookings into real slots

Goes to your team
  • Home-visit requests — details taken for your team
  • Wounds, sores, pain or any foot concern
  • Medicare referral and plan questions
  • Health fund, rebate and invoice questions
  • Urgent or emergency language — your escalation script

Administrative, never clinical

Chimehill never assesses a foot concern or suggests treatment. Those calls go to a podiatrist as a callback, and urgent language follows the escalation script your clinicians approved.

You set the rules

Your answers, your appointment types

It only books what you allow and only says what you've approved. Unsure means it hands over.

FAQ

Questions clinics ask us

Can it book regular routine-care appointments?

Yes. After confirming who's calling, it offers their usual podiatrist's real free times and books the appointment type you've chosen for routine care.

Does it book home visits?

No. Home visits need your team to plan the route and check suitability, so Chimehill takes the caller's details and creates a callback task instead.

Can it handle orthotics questions?

It can book an orthotics review or fitting if you allow that appointment type, and answer what-to-bring questions from your approved notes. Questions about whether someone needs orthotics go to a podiatrist.

What about Medicare referral questions?

Referral and plan questions go to your team as a callback task, because they depend on the caller's paperwork. Chimehill never guesses what will be covered.

Which practice software does it book into?

Cliniko, Splose, PracSuite and Nookal. Chimehill reads live availability and only says an appointment is booked once your software has saved it. Using something else? Tell us when you book a demo.

Can we keep our clinic phone number?

Yes. You forward calls to Chimehill — all calls, only overflow when the desk is busy, or only after hours — and you can change that or switch it off whenever you like.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $249 a month (AUD) for 100 calls; the recommended plan is $379 for 200 calls. Calls past your allowance are $2.70 each. Every plan starts with 14 days free and there are no lock-in contracts.

Will callers know they're talking to an AI?

Yes. Chimehill introduces itself as your clinic's virtual receptionist on every call, and a caller who asks for a person always gets your configured fallback — a transfer or a callback.

Every call deserves an answer.
