Distress goes straight to your crisis script
Chimehill never discusses symptoms or asks why someone is calling. If a caller uses distress or risk language, it stops the booking and follows the crisis script your clinicians wrote and approved, then flags the call for urgent follow-up.
Your answers, your appointment types
It only books what you allow and only says what you've approved. Unsure means it hands over.

Questions practices ask us
Does Chimehill ask clients why they're booking?
No. It only takes the details needed to make or change a booking. It never asks about symptoms or reasons, and call summaries stick to the administrative details your team needs.
What happens if a caller is distressed or at risk?
It stops the booking and follows the crisis script your clinicians approved — for example, directing the caller to emergency services and the crisis lines you choose — then flags the call for urgent follow-up. It never counsels or assesses.
Can it answer Medicare or GP referral questions?
No. Referral, Medicare and treatment plan questions depend on the client's paperwork, so they go to your team as a callback task. It can still book the appointment if the caller wants.
Can it book telehealth sessions?
Yes, if telehealth is an appointment type in your practice software and you allow Chimehill to book it.
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.
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.
