Terva

When your physios are hands-on, Terva picks up.

Your front desk answers first. When every physio’s with a patient and the desk is on another line, Terva answers in your clinic’s name, takes new-patient details and leaves your team a clear list.

Free for 30 minutes of calls a month. No card.

You don’t need a referral to see one of our physios. Have you been to the clinic before? Ella: No, it’d be my first time. Terva: No worries. Could I get your full name, and could you spell your surname for me? Ella: Ella Marsh. M-A-R-S-H. Terva: Thanks, Ella. What’s the best number to call you on? Ella: 0491 571 266.

What counts as a live minute?
Time Terva spends on real calls forwarded from your practice. Test calls don’t count, and they’re unlimited on every plan.
What happens after my included minutes?
On Free, callers can leave a callback request until your minutes reset next month. On Reception, extra minutes are 80c each, added to that month’s bill.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Plans are monthly and you can cancel anytime.
Do I keep my number?
Yes. Patients keep calling your practice number. You forward calls to your Terva number only when you’re busy, don’t answer, or after hours.

Questions physio owners ask

Something else? Book a demo and ask us.

Will patients mind talking to an AI?

Terva says it’s the clinic’s AI receptionist as soon as it answers. Your team still answers first, and Terva only gets the calls that would have rung out. Anyone who’d rather talk to a person can leave a callback request.

Does it book into PracSuite, Cliniko or Nookal?

Terva books straight into PracSuite and Core Practice, set up with our team on the Reception plan. On Cliniko, Nookal and other systems, Terva takes the booking request and your team confirms it in your system. Terva doesn’t create patient records there, so there are no duplicates to clean up.

What about WorkCover, NDIS, referrals and care plans?

Terva answers from the information you approve, like whether you see WorkCover or NDIS patients and what to bring. Anything it isn’t sure about becomes a callback request, so it never guesses about funding.

Does Terva give clinical advice or read clinical notes?

No. Terva handles admin calls only and never reads clinical notes. Callers in pain get your clinic’s next steps and a callback request. For a life-threatening emergency, Terva tells the caller to call 000.

We rarely get after-hours calls. Is it worth it?

You choose which calls go to Terva. Many clinics start with the calls that ring out while everyone’s with patients. The free plan covers 30 minutes a month, so you can see what it picks up before you pay anything.

Do I keep my number?

Yes. Patients keep calling your clinic’s number. You forward only the calls your team doesn’t pick up, you choose how long it rings first, and you can switch forwarding off at any time.

Where is our data kept?

Terva’s main application and database are hosted in Australia, and Terva doesn’t use patient information or call content to train its AI. Calls aren’t recorded; your dashboard keeps the transcript and summary. Our privacy policy has the details.

Try it on your clinic tonight.

Set it up from your website in about five minutes, then call it yourself. It’s free, and nothing reaches patients until you forward a line.
