What would it mean if your clinic never missed a call?

If you’re an Australian Physiotherapy Association (APA) member who’s a private practice owner, practitioner or principal, you’ll realise it’s business-critical for every phone call to your clinic to be answered. Unfortunately, even if you employ a full-time receptionist, this rarely happens.

Yet it is possible! With OfficeHQ’s friendly, professional virtual receptionists always on call, whether 24/7 or simply providing overflow coverage, you’ll never miss an opportunity to connect with an existing patient or schedule a consultation with a new patient. Best of all, it’s an extremely cost-effective solution.

From simply taking messages to answering FAQs and scheduling appointments, we can assist. All for a fraction of the cost of a full-time employee. And even if you already have an in-house receptionist, but need assistance when they’re busy, at lunch, on holidays or off sick, we have the solution!

More than 450 healthcare industry businesses across Australia already trust in OfficeHQ to handle call answering on their behalf. With no missed calls, they benefit from greater patient satisfaction, an enhanced reputation, a competitive edge and, ultimately, increased profitability.

FAQs

Many callers hang up when their call goes to voicemail, so you can miss out on vital conversations or leads.  Ensuring your calls are answered by a live person, increases customer satisfaction, builds loyalty and improves your opportunity to create a rapport and obtain caller details.

Live call answering also allows you to screen calls, as you can advise your receptionist to transfer or take messages for only those call types you wish to receive.  Once answered, you can see each message as it’s taken and prioritise who you will call back first.

Live call answering increases revenue through better customer connections, reduces costs as you’re not paying for a full time receptionist and helps you to be more efficient with your time.

Yes! OfficeHQ is a privately-owned Australian company. Our head office is on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, with about 90% of our entire Australian team – including our virtual receptionists – based in that region.

Our telecommunications network extends to 66 telephone exchanges, giving us the largest range of local numbers of any Australian virtual reception services provider.

Yes, our receptionist can answer calls you’d usually miss.  You may be on another call or simply unable to answer because you’re busy at the time. Our receptionists will take a detailed message and send to you instantly by email or SMS. Many clients who subscribe to our service are surprised when they learn how many calls they’d been missing prior to having their calls answered by OfficeHQ.

Yes. This is referred to as “call overflow”.

A lot of companies require their phone calls to be answered only when they are unable to take the call themselves. For example, if you step out of the office for an hour or your in-house receptionist goes to lunch, is on leave or is busy on another call and you have multiple calls coming in at the one time.

You can set your business phone number to divert (to the unique local phone number we allocate your business during the Free Trial setup process) only when the phone rings for more than a specified period (such as after 5 rings) or if your line is busy/engaged.

In such instances our receptionists will then answer the phone as if we were in your office. You’re always in control and can relax knowing you will never miss another important call again! 

Transferring calls to OfficeHQ is easy. To have our team of virtual receptionists answer your calls, simply:

  1. Decide whether you wish to forward calls immediately to OfficeHQ (the best solution for most businesses) or have calls forwarded after a delay.
  2. Identify the call forwarding codes for your telecommunications provider. Most providers publish these codes on their websites.
  3. Use the codes to enable your calls to be forwarded to the unique phone number that we’ve allocated to you.
