Below are our most frequently asked questions and our answers.
If there is a question you have that we haven't addressed please get in touch and let us help you.
Can I use my existing phone number?
Yes! We can utilise your existing number including 1300, 1800, landline and mobile numbers…this keeps everything simple for you and for your customers. We will provide a personalised call forwarding number so we can identify your business and answer in your name. You simply divert or call forward your existing communication numbers to this personalised GO number.
How will my calls be answered?
Your patients will call your usual business numbers and will be routed seamlessly to your friendly, professional GO Health Reception Virtual Team Carer who will answer the call. Your service includes a personalised welcome greeting, Press 1 to leave a message options and after hours message bank message of your choice! Our recommendation in wording is "Welcome to (Your business name), how can we help?"
Where are your employees located?
Our Go Health Carers are employed either full time or part time directly. Thanks to technology our carers are working in one of 2 centers primarily from our Operations Centre at the suburb Springwood of Brisbane, Qld or Regional Gympie Qld Australia. Calls are not diverted to subcontractors or overseas. We do not promote home based reception support but our Operations Captain who is a self confessed workaholic does work from a home office regularly. We do have the redundancy to take our technology (phones and laptops) and work from another location. Good news in case one of our buildings burns down. We can easily keep providing customer care on behalf of our customers.
Are my calls answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year?
Your calls will be answered LIVE Monday to Thursday 7.30am to 7pm, Friday 7.30am to 6.30pm, Saturday 8am to 1.30pm EST (with Daylight Savings we start at 7.15am for our southern customers every day).

Every after hours messagebank service is included for FREE which includes our carers returning to after hours messages with return phone calls and sms to win you appointments, jobs and updating your CRM.
How do I receive my messages?

How does GO Health Reception know what questions I need asked of the caller and what information I require?
We will do all we can to set you up for success from the beginning. We’ll ask you a series of important questions in a brainstorm chat that will give us the information to sound like we have always been a part of your business and serve your callers at the highest level. You will overhear all our conversations so it is easy to continuously provide more information and processes freely as we go along.
