Aida, the AI receptionist for dental practices in Queensland, answers patient calls and messages, including after hours. Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Townsville practices take calls across long days. Aida answers calls and messages for A$500 a month per location, including tax, with recording set up on the consent route our Queensland guide recommends.

How we decide whether the service fits
We look at the Queensland dental inquiry path from first call to booked appointment, then decide whether Queensland dental AI receptionist coverage is the right fix. The goal is a clear result, not another tool added before the problem is understood.
We first check the Queensland dental inquiry path from first call to booked appointment. Then we decide whether Queensland dental AI receptionist coverage solves the problem.
Use it when a Queensland dental practice can verify unanswered calls, overflow, after-hours demand, or repetitive intake questions in its own call logs.
Do not use it when the practice first needs a broader consult-capture diagnosis across calls, forms, referrals, follow-up ownership, and reporting.
The practice keeps clinical judgment, scheduling rules, patient records, emergency protocols, staff review, and all regulated decisions.
A 2026 vendor study of 26 dental practices found 38% of calls went unanswered. Verify the local opportunity in Queensland from your own call logs, booking outcomes, and collections.
Our Queensland guide found no state statute on private-sector health records, so the Commonwealth Privacy Act applies. For recordings it lists consent and other exceptions for sharing, and leaves the cloud-vendor question unresolved, as is whether an AI vendor that records counts as a party to the call. Attainment documents the data flow for the practice to review. This is not a compliance certification.
What our Queensland guide found on privacy, call recording and AI notices. A guide for owners, not legal advice.
Built for Australian dental practices. Configured for Queensland.
Covers after-hours calls for practices in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Cairns and Townsville.
Books where booking is switched on, or sends your team the request to confirm.
Practices in holiday areas like the Gold Coast and Cairns see visitor calls outside normal hours; Aida answers them and sends the details on.
For Queensland dental practices, validate plan-specific call handling and request preparation during a pilot. Booking and staff routing run under rules your clinic approves, with setup and testing before launch. Review your practice software workflow before launch.
Picks up on the first ring, day or night, weekend or holiday, with unlimited simultaneous calls. No hold music. No voicemail. Every caller speaks to someone.
Books directly into your practice software in real time and sends an SMS confirmation.
Answers patient questions about hours, accepted insurance, services, procedures, and location.
Calls or texts your on-call staff about urgent calls and takes callback requests. It does not diagnose or determine urgency.
Captures the caller's details so clinic staff can review and follow up when a booking is not made or cannot be confirmed.
Overflow and after-hours coverage so your front desk can focus on patients in the office. Your staff handle in-person interactions.

Request a tailored demoOur Queensland guide reads the Invasion of Privacy Act 1971 as allowing a party to record. Sharing the recording is barred unless the other parties consent, it is reasonably necessary to protect lawful interests, or another exception applies. Whether sending audio to a cloud vendor counts is unresolved, as is whether an AI vendor that records counts as a party to the call.
Our guide confirmed no Queensland statute on private-sector health records. The Commonwealth Privacy Act applies: destroy or de-identify records once no longer needed, unless a law requires them to be kept.
In the statutes we read, our guide found nothing in force in Australia that requires it. Aida can say it is an AI assistant at the start of the call.
The Dental Board of Australia, through Ahpra. Queensland handles conduct matters through the Office of the Health Ombudsman.
Our Queensland guide notes a radiation possession licence is needed for the x-ray equipment, not for image-reading software. Exemptions by regulation were not read.
Our guide notes Ahpra's AI guidance dated 22 August 2024 applies to registered practitioners, and the Dental Board has no separate AI standard that we found.
Questions on staffing and setup are answered in the dental AI receptionist FAQ.
