Is MayaAI a real Sydney virtual receptionist service?

Yes. MayaAI is an Australian AI receptionist service used by clinics across Sydney and greater New South Wales. Calls are answered by our AI in an Australian accent, and all patient data is stored in Australian data centres in line with the Privacy Act 1988.

Does it answer calls in AEST/AEDT business hours?

Maya answers 24/7, so calls are covered during Sydney business hours and every hour outside them — evenings, weekends and public holidays included. Around 59% of the calls Maya handles for Australian clinics arrive outside opening hours.

Do I need to change my phone number?

No. You keep your existing Sydney number and simply divert it to Maya — either all calls, or only those that go unanswered after a set number of rings.

Which practice management systems does it book into?

Maya integrates with Cliniko and Halaxy today, with Magentus and Zedmed in progress. Bookings appear in your live diary within seconds of the call ending.

How much does a virtual receptionist in Sydney cost?

MayaAI plans start at $149 per month and scale to $1,449 for high-volume clinics — a fixed monthly cost against $4,167–$5,417 per month for a full-time human receptionist including super and leave loading. There are no per-call or per-minute charges.

Virtual Receptionist in Sydney

Sydney clinics field some of the highest call volumes in the country, and a missed call is usually a new patient who simply rings the next practice on the list. MayaAI answers every call for Sydney medical, dental and allied health practices — 24/7, in an Australian voice, booking straight into your practice management system.

Why Sydney practices switch to an AI receptionist

Between CBD specialist suites, inner-west general practices and growing clinics across Western Sydney, front desks are stretched. MayaAI answers every call on the first ring, books directly into your practice management system and escalates anything urgent to your team — without adding another salary to the roster.

What Maya does for Sydney practices

Bookings written straight into your practice system against the right doctor

Chest pain and breathing scripts escalated to the on-call doctor immediately

Script renewals and results requests captured as tasks instead of interruptions
