Doctors’ practices in Australia. An AI that answers your practice’s calls when every line is busy
When the lines are busy or the practice is closed, Vicem answers and takes a clear message.
In Australia, you can get a local number after a document check, or forward the calls you miss from your own number. Callers there usually speak English, and Vicem answers each one in their own language.

How it works in Australia
Get a local number
A local number in Australia after a document check: an ID, a recent bill, and a local address.
Give out your Vicem number
Put your Vicem number on your website, card and profiles, and pick up in the app when you want to talk.
Keep your number
Forward the calls you miss to your Vicem number. It’s a US number, so your phone company may charge for each forwarded call.
Callers in Australia usually speak English. Vicem answers each caller in their own language, in any of 37 languages, and says it’s an AI in that language too.
After hours and urgent calls
Vicem answers when the practice is closed, and when a caller says it’s urgent, it tells you right away. It can share the out-of-hours advice you give it.
For a real emergency, you can have Vicem tell callers to hang up and dial 000.
Appointments and requests
Vicem takes the appointment request: the patient, the reason and the times that suit them. Your team confirms the time.
