Built for the way clinics actually work

Everything you need from day one

Answers like it knows your clinic

Gap fees, parking, what to bring, referral requirements - Arcline is trained on your specific practice so patients always get the right answer.

Sounds like a real person

We use the highest-quality voice AI available, and you can even upload your own voice. Natural and patient with every caller.

Arcline answering an incoming patient call

Books straight into PracSuite

No syncing, no manual entry. Arcline reads your live calendar and locks in the appointment on the spot, just like a receptionist with system access.

Hands off when it needs to

If a call needs a human, Arcline transfers it across or takes a detailed message and flags it for your team. Nothing slips through.

From the first ring

Your number. A clearer call flow.

Add AI reception without asking patients to learn a new way to contact your clinic.

01

A patient calls your number

Keep your existing clinic number. Forward calls to Arcline at the times you want reception cover.

02

Arcline understands the request

The caller can ask for an appointment, change a booking or get routine clinic information.

03

Your rules guide the next step

Live availability, approved answers and handover instructions determine what happens next.

04

Your team has the context

The call outcome and written transcript help reception review requests and follow up when needed.

AI appointment booking

From a phone call
to a place in the diary.

Patients do not always call when reception has a free moment. Arcline checks live availability and helps them book a supported appointment in your connected practice calendar.

Initial consultations and returning visits can need different durations, practitioners or locations. Your clinic sets the instructions; Arcline follows the configured workflow instead of treating every appointment the same.

  • New and returning patient bookings
  • Supported reschedules and cancellations
  • Your visit types, durations and practitioner rules

After-hours and overflow calls

Your doors close.
Patient enquiries keep coming.

A patient finishing work, a parent organising a visit or someone needing to move an appointment may call outside your staffed hours. Give them a useful next step without waiting for the morning.

Use Arcline for evenings and weekends, when the lines are busy, or for broader coverage. Agree the operating hours, forwarding arrangements and fallback process with our team.

  • Keep your existing phone number
  • Live availability for supported bookings
  • Clear messages when reception needs to follow up

Bookings that fit your clinic

Turn the conversation into the right appointment in your practice calendar.

  • New and returning patient bookings

    Follow the right booking pathway for a first visit or a returning patient’s next appointment.

  • Rescheduling and cancellations

    Handle supported appointment changes in your PMS, following your clinic’s policies.

  • Appointment types and durations

    Use the correct visit type and appointment length for initial consultations, follow-ups and your other services.

  • Practitioner and location rules

    Work with practitioner preferences, service rules and clinic locations so bookings go into the right diary.

  • DVA, workers’ compensation and MVA

    Follow clinic-approved pathways for DVA, workers’ compensation, motor vehicle accident (MVA) and chronic disease management appointments. Capture details for reception’s review.

  • Service-specific booking pathways

    Configure workflows for services such as dry needling and group bookings, including practitioner matching and specialist allocation.

Workflows are configured for your clinic and connected PMS. Revenue, time saved and ROI figures are estimates; booking value does not mean collected revenue.

Appointment reminder and patient recall calls

Help patients confirm an upcoming visit or arrange their next one. Availability and workflow scope are confirmed with your clinic.

Your people stay in the loop

Routine admin for Arcline. Judgement for your team.

A clinical question, a sensitive conversation or a request outside the agreed scope needs the right person. Your clinic decides when to transfer and what a useful handover should include.

  • Agreed transfer destinations
  • Detailed messages when a transfer is unavailable
  • Clinic-approved escalation and fallback instructions

Arcline is not a clinician or emergency service. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or clinical triage.

Common questions

A little more detail before you decide.

Booking rules, phone coverage, human handovers and pricing. Here are the practical things clinics ask about AI reception.

Ask our team a question
What does Arcline's AI receptionist handle?

Arcline handles supported appointment bookings, reschedules, cancellations and routine clinic questions by phone. It can cover after-hours and overflow calls, record call outcomes and written transcripts, and transfer or capture messages for requests that need your team. The exact scope is agreed with your clinic during setup.

Does an AI receptionist replace our reception team?

Arcline is designed to support reception, not remove the need for people. Routine phone requests can be handled while your staff help patients at the counter or work on more complex tasks. Your clinic keeps control of the booking rules, approved information and requests that require a human response.

Can Arcline book into PracSuite, Cliniko or Nookal?

Yes. Arcline integrates with PracSuite, Cliniko and Nookal to check live appointment availability and write supported booking changes into the connected practice system. Our team confirms the supported appointment types, durations, practitioners, locations and exceptions before launch. You keep working in your existing practice calendar.

Can we use AI phone answering only after hours?

Yes. You can choose after-hours coverage, overflow cover when reception is busy, or broader call coverage. Keep your existing clinic phone number and use agreed forwarding arrangements. Our team helps configure operating hours, transfer destinations and fallback steps, then tests the arrangement with you before going live.

Can patients reschedule or cancel appointments by phone?

Supported rescheduling and cancellation workflows can be handled by phone using your approved policies. Arcline checks the relevant booking rules and writes supported changes into the practice calendar. Requests outside the configured workflow, policy exceptions and fee disputes can be transferred or captured for your reception team to review.

What happens when a patient needs a clinician or a person?

Your clinic defines the handover pathway. Arcline can transfer a call to an agreed destination or capture a detailed message when a transfer is unavailable. It is an administrative reception tool, not a clinician or emergency service. It does not provide diagnosis, treatment recommendations, clinical triage or emergency support.

Which healthcare specialities does Arcline support?

Arcline supports administrative phone workflows for physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, podiatry, psychology, speech pathology, exercise physiology and allied health clinics. Each clinic has different appointment types and handover requirements. We agree the supported scope around your services, practitioners and practice software rather than applying one generic call script.

Can reception review the patient calls Arcline handles?

Your team can review call outcomes, written transcripts and follow-up context in the Arcline dashboard. Supported appointment changes are reflected in the connected practice calendar. This helps reception understand what the patient requested and what happened next, while keeping exceptions and requests needing a human response visible to the team.

Does Arcline make appointment reminder or recall calls?

Outbound calling workflows are rolling out, including appointment reminders and clinic-approved recall or regular check-up calls. Ask our team which workflows are available for your clinic. Timing, patient consent, approved messages and handover steps are agreed before launch; not every outbound workflow is live for every clinic.

How long is the free trial?

The free trial lasts 14 days. No card is required, and trial limits are agreed with your clinic. Use the trial to review the configured call coverage, supported booking workflows and handovers with our team before deciding whether Arcline is right for your reception requirements.

How much does an AI receptionist for our clinic cost?

Arcline is competitively priced, with a custom quote for your clinic. We discuss your practice software, locations, phone coverage, workflows and reception requirements before recommending a setup. Book a call to talk through the scope, setup and pricing with our Australian team.

How is patient information handled?

Patient information handling should be reviewed as part of your clinic's setup. Discuss access, call recording and transcript settings, retention arrangements and the services involved with the Arcline team. Read our privacy policy and subprocessor information, and confirm your clinic's requirements before enabling patient call workflows.
