AI Receptionist · Ophthalmology
A caller who has just lost sight in one eye, or is seeing a curtain fall across their vision, cannot be a routine booking or a voicemail. LUNA's AI receptionist answers for your practice, after hours, on overflow when your team is busy, or around the clock: calm with worried callers, and built on the actual clinical and regulatory obligations of Australian ophthalmology.
Why after-hours matters here
Sudden vision loss, new flashes and floaters, a curtain across the eye: these calls arrive in the evening and on weekends, from someone who is frightened and will ring the next practice on the list if voicemail answers. The agent picks up, keeps them calm, and captures the enquiry properly.
The agent answers questions about your ophthalmologists, your services and how referrals and cataract surgery work from an approved knowledge base, then captures name, number, reason and urgency, or books directly into your practice software where enabled. It explains the referral pathway rather than guessing at it.
A sudden loss of vision, new flashes and floaters, or eye pain with nausea and halos around lights: these are not messages for the morning. The agent runs your configured urgent guidance first, before anything else, and alerts your nominated contact.
The routine-sounding call that isn't
A caller asking for “an appointment sometime this week” can be describing an emergency without knowing it. The agent doesn't assess anyone's vision over the phone and it doesn't reassure. It reads the situation against your configured urgent guidance, gives the caller the right next step, and flags it to your team straight away. Here is what that sounds like across the tiers your practice sets.
Sudden loss of vision, new flashes and floaters, or a shadow or curtain moving across the vision can signal a retinal detachment. The agent never files it as a routine booking. It gives the caller your configured urgent pathway, directs them to emergency care where your guidance says so, captures the caller and raises an urgent alert.
Sudden severe eye pain with headache, nausea and rings of light around lamps can be acute angle-closure, a genuine emergency. The agent recognises the pattern, tells the caller to phone 000 or go to the nearest emergency department now, and does not offer a booking instead. It never talks anyone out of calling triple zero.
“Is a floater normal?” and “Should I be worried?” are clinical questions, and the agent will not answer them or reassure. It screens for the sudden-curtain red flag, explains it is a matter for the clinical team, and captures the enquiry for a call back rather than guessing.
Hear it yourself
Clearview Eye Specialists is our fictional Brisbane practice, invented so you can test the agent without any real patients or practitioners involved. Ask it anything a caller would ask you: tell it you have gone blind in one eye and want an appointment next week, ask it to quote your cataract surgery per eye, or ask it to pick a lens for you. The interesting part is what it refuses to do.
Clearview Eye Specialists is a fictional clinic. Every detail is invented for this demonstration.

Calls are capped at about three minutes and may be reviewed to improve the demo. This is a demonstration agent only, not a real clinic and not medical advice.

How she's trained
Natural Australian conversation, a calm register for callers who are frightened about their sight, proper message-taking, booking discipline, and the golden rule underneath it all: if it isn't configured or approved, she says so and captures the question rather than improvising.
AHPRA and National Board advertising guidelines, the Privacy Act and state health-records law, TGA advertising rules, Medicare and fees accuracy, emergency escalation, honest AI disclosure, and recording-consent statutes in all 8 states.
The RANZCO clinical practice guidance, the cataract and intraocular-lens preferred-practice patterns, the specialist-title and licence rules that separate an ophthalmologist from an optometrist or an orthoptist, and the Medical Board's Good Medical Practice, distilled into sight-threat triage tiers, no-vision-assessment-by-phone discipline, results-stay-with-the-clinician rules and informed financial consent for surgery, all citing their sources.
Your ophthalmologists and their exact titles, your orthoptists and optometrists, your services, cataract and referral pathways, fees policy and hours, plus your own materials: pre-operative and post-operative instructions, patient information sheets, dilation and aftercare notes, and a specialised go-live questionnaire about how your practice actually runs.
Every month, every call is audited: drop-off points, unanswered question types, improvement candidates. Changes are approved with you and versioned into the agent, and regulation-change monitoring updates the rules when guidance moves. Better every month, never changed without sign-off, and never self-retraining on its own.
The guardrails are the product
Every generic voice bot can answer a phone. The question your board, your indemnifier and AHPRA would ask is what it says on a recorded line at 9pm with nobody supervising. Tap a question to see how Luna handles it.
Traceable, versioned, maintained
The agent's behaviour is built from layered, versioned rule sets distilled from the primary sources: the RANZCO clinical practice guidance, the cataract and intraocular-lens preferred-practice patterns, the Medical Board's specialist-title rules, AHPRA advertising guidelines, and the Australian Privacy Principles. When a regulator updates guidance, we know which rules are affected and which agents need updating.

From go-ahead to go-live
Your ophthalmologists and their correct titles, your orthoptists and optometrists, services, cataract and referral pathways, fees policy, hours, urgent guidance and escalation contacts, plus your own materials: pre-operative and post-operative instructions, patient information sheets, dilation and aftercare notes. A specialised go-live questionnaire makes sure every answer the agent gives is yours, not a generic one.
Your agent is built from the approved compliance layers plus your configuration, then attacked with an ophthalmology-specific test script, sight-threat triage and title discipline included. It must pass every probe before it ever answers a real call.
Your number routes to the agent, changeable in seconds, never a dead line. Monthly call reviews and regulation-change monitoring included.
Cliniko, Best Practice, Medical Director, Genie, Gentu, Halaxy, Coreplus, your dental suite, whatever runs your day: we design the agent around your systems, never the other way round. You don't change how your practice works to suit us.
Where your practice software has API access, Luna books and writes back in real time. Cliniko is live today, with more connectors on the roadmap.
No API? We wire structured, qualified messages into your existing inbox, CRM or task list, formatted exactly the way your team already works.
Locked-down legacy system? We stand up a clean parallel capture and booking layer for you, and your team reconciles it in minutes, not hours.
Fair questions
Always. Every call opens by saying it's an AI assistant and that the call is recorded, and it confirms it plainly if asked. That disclosure is fixed at the compliance layer; no clinic setup can remove it, which also satisfies the strictest Australian recording-consent standard.
They contain health information, so they're treated that way: moved to Australian-hosted storage promptly after each call, deleted from the voice platform, delivered only to the contacts you nominate, and retained for a period you set. The full detail is on our data handling and security page, and you get it in writing as a one-page summary.
It runs your configured urgent guidance before anything else. Sudden vision loss, new flashes and floaters or a curtain across the eye get your urgent pathway, and eye pain with nausea and halos is sent straight to 000. It gives the caller the immediate step, directs them per your after-hours pathway, and raises an urgent alert to your nominated contact. It never assesses vision by phone and it never talks anyone out of emergency care.
No. It won't give a per-eye figure or a gap, because a written itemised quote follows the consultation and the surgeon, anaesthetist, day surgery and lens are billed separately. And it never reads out, confirms or interprets a scan or test result: those stay with the clinician, and it captures a message for the team to call back. That keeps you inside AHPRA advertising guidance and privacy law.
Where your practice software supports it (Cliniko first, more connectors coming), yes: real bookings into your calendar. Where a referral is needed, it explains the pathway and captures the enquiry rather than guessing. Otherwise it captures qualified, structured enquiries for your team to action first thing.
