For allied health practices

The AI receptionist for allied health practices

Your hands are busy with clients, not the phone. Salutant answers your practice phone day and night, books new and returning clients into genuinely free times in your Halaxy, Cliniko or Nookal diary, and takes a message instead of guessing.

Reviewing a booking request in Salutant: caller, clinician, time and appointment type before you bookExample · made-up practice

The calls you miss in session.

New and returning clients

Callers are checked by name, date of birth and phone; caller ID is a hint, never proof. New clients hear what your practice needs before a first appointment, in your words, and are offered only times that are free in your diary.

NeverNever books a new client onto a closed list. When you’ve paused new clients, it takes a message.

Rebooking by your cancellation policy

A client who cancels or wants to move hears your cancellation policy in your wording. The request comes to you with the appointment, for one-tap action.

NeverNever charges, waives or calculates a fee.

Emergencies and clinical questions

A caller describing an emergency is told to call triple zero (000) and given Lifeline on 13 11 14, the Suicide Call Back Service and 13YARN. Questions about an injury, a treatment or a plan become a message for the practice.

NeverNever gives clinical advice, assesses or triages.

One summary per call.

After every call you get one email: who rang, what they asked for, what the receptionist did and anything that needs your tap.

What the receptionist did

Awaiting your review: not in your diary until you approve it.

Your rules, kept on every call.

  • Never says “booked” until it’s in your diary.

    If the write to your diary fails, the caller is not told they are booked, and the call is flagged for you.

  • You approve bookings first.

    Review mode is on by default. Nothing touches your diary without your tap.

  • Never books inside your notice window.

    A caller who wanted sooner becomes a message for you.

  • No clinical advice or triage.

    A caller describing an emergency is told to call triple zero (000).

  • Never keeps call audio.

    It keeps a written record and does not record the call, except a voicemail a caller chooses to leave.

  • Never pretends to be a person.

    It says it is a receptionist, and says it is an AI whenever asked.

Questions from allied health practices.

Does Salutant give clinical advice?

No. It is a receptionist. It answers questions from the information you give it, books by your rules and takes messages. It never gives clinical advice, assesses or triages.

What happens if a caller describes an emergency?

It tells them to call triple zero (000) and gives Lifeline on 13 11 14, the Suicide Call Back Service and 13YARN. It never assesses or triages.

Will it book straight into my diary?

Only if you choose. Review mode is on by default, so a booking is a request until you approve it. Switch review mode off and a booking lands in your diary the moment the call ends. The caller only hears “booked” once it has their name and number and has checked the time is still free.

How does it handle referrals and funding?

You write what your practice needs from a referred client, and it tells callers that. It records the funding a caller mentions, such as a GP care plan, NDIS, DVA or WorkCover, as they state it, and never decides whether they are eligible.

Does it record our calls?

No. It keeps a written record of each call and does not record the audio, except a voicemail a caller chooses to leave.

Which practice software does it work with?

It books into Halaxy, Cliniko and Nookal, offering only times that are free in your diary.

Do hang-ups and short calls cost me?

No. Some callers change their mind about speaking with an AI receptionist, and some calls are spam. In good faith, if a call ends within the first 20 seconds, we don’t charge for it: it uses none of your minutes or balance. Every other call counts each started minute.

Hear it answer before you pay a cent.

From $49 + GST a month. Free test calls, no card. Hang up early? We don't charge for calls that end within 20 seconds.
