Where first enquiries get lost

Reaching out takes courage.
Who replies first?

It’s rarely the quality of your care.
It’s the calls and messages that wait for a break.

01 / THE FIRST STEP

Reaching out is hard. Voicemail makes it harder.

Someone may have taken weeks to make that call. A prompt, kind reply with clear next steps makes it easier to book a first appointment.

02 / IN SESSION

You can’t take calls in the therapy room.

Psychologists are in confidential sessions for most of the day. Calls and messages pile up until the next gap.

03 / REFERRALS AND REBATES

Referral and rebate questions need your team.

Questions about GP referrals, Medicare rebates or fees are routed to your admin team. The AI doesn’t give eligibility advice.

From first enquiry to ongoing care

From a nervous first call
to a booked appointment.

DrKing looks after the admin conversation, so your clinicians can stay present with clients.

01

DrKing replies.

Phone, web chat, SMS or email. People who reach out get a prompt, kind reply, even while your clinicians are in session.

02

DrKing books.

Clients request a first appointment or reschedule an existing one, depending on your calendar or practice software setup.

03

Your team takes the rest.

Anything clinical, urgent or sensitive is left for your team in the shared inbox. Your scripts can point anyone at immediate risk to 000 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Less admin. More presence.

Respectful admin support.

03 / Discreet reminders

A quiet reminder.
No details shared.

SMS and email reminders use wording your practice approves — the time and place, nothing about the reason for the visit. Clients confirm or ask to reschedule by text.

Reminder wording you control.

Here when you’re ready
Hi Jordan, it’s been a while since your last appointment. If you’d like to book in again, reply here or book online. No pressure.
Thanks. Could I book something next month?
Of course. I’ll ask the team to send you a few times for next month.

04 / Gentle reactivation

The door stays open.
Without the pressure.

Monthly reactivation can send a short, no-pressure note to past clients you choose, inviting them to book when they’re ready. You decide who receives it and exactly what it says.

A few things you might be wondering

Good questions.
Clear answers.

A closer look at how DrKing fits into your psychology practice.

Let’s talk about your practice
Does the AI give counselling or clinical advice?

No. DrKing handles admin only: enquiries, booking, rescheduling, reminders and payment links. It doesn’t counsel, assess risk or give clinical advice. Those conversations belong with your clinicians.

What happens if someone is in crisis?

Urgent or crisis conversations are for your practice team, not the AI. Your scripts can tell anyone at immediate risk to call 000, or Lifeline on 13 11 14, and the conversation stays in your inbox for the team to follow up.

Are reminders discreet?

Your practice approves the reminder wording. Most practices keep it to the appointment time and place, without mentioning the reason for the visit.

Can it answer questions about referrals or Medicare rebates?

No. The AI doesn’t give eligibility or rebate advice. Referral, rebate and fee questions are passed to your admin team, who reply from the same inbox.

Does it work with Power Diary, Cliniko or Nookal?

Yes. DrKing integrations with Power Diary, Cliniko and Nookal are available now. We’ll talk through your setup on a demo.

Can we follow up clients who haven’t booked their next session?

Yes. DrKing can send an admin-only check-in with booking options, and monthly reactivation can invite past clients to book when they’re ready. You choose who receives them and what they say.
