Step 1

Customer Calls or Visits Your Website

Amelia is available 24/7 via a voice widget embedded directly on your pharmacy website. With optional telephony integration, she can also answer your pharmacy phone line — handling every call instantly during peak dispensing periods, evenings, and weekends when your team is at its busiest.

Step 2

Amelia Handles the Enquiry

Amelia identifies what the customer needs and handles it completely: checking prescription status, logging refill requests, booking vaccination and consultation appointments, confirming product availability, and providing accurate opening hours — all in seconds, without hold music or interrupting your dispensary workflow.

Step 3

Pharmacist Notified. Customer Served.

Every interaction is logged and summarised for your team. Refill requests, consultation bookings, and any escalated clinical enquiries are flagged and routed to the appropriate pharmacist with full context — so your team starts each day fully informed, with no voicemails to transcribe and no missed requests to chase.

Hear Exactly What Amelia Says

These are the conversations Amelia has every day. Clear, professional, and always directing customers to a pharmacist when clinical input is needed.

Amelia
Hello, thank you for calling City Pharmacy. I'm Amelia, your pharmacy assistant. How can I help you today?
Customer
Hi, I dropped off a prescription yesterday afternoon and I'm just wondering if it's ready to pick up.
Amelia
Of course, I can check that for you straight away. Could I please have your name and date of birth so I can locate your script in our system?
Customer
It's Margaret Collins, the 14th of March 1968.
Amelia
Thank you, Margaret. I can see your prescription was dispensed and is ready for collection. You can pick it up any time during trading hours today. Is there anything else I can help with before you come in?
Customer
Wonderful. What time do you close today?
Amelia
We're open until 6:30 this evening. Your prescription will be at the dispensary counter under your name. We look forward to seeing you, Margaret.

Outcome: Prescription status confirmed instantly. Customer informed of their collection window without waiting on hold or interrupting dispensary staff during peak dispensing hours.

Amelia
Good morning, Northside Chemist. I'm Amelia. How can I assist you today?
Customer
I need to organise a refill for my blood pressure medication. I've got about four days left and no repeats remaining on my script.
Amelia
I can help get that process started. Could I take your name and the name of the medication?
Customer
David Hartley. The medication is Perindopril, I think 5 milligrams.
Amelia
Thank you, David. Because you don't have repeats remaining, you'll need a new script from your GP. I'll log your refill request and flag it for our pharmacist, who can contact your GP on your behalf if needed. Would you like us to do that?
Customer
Yes please — my doctor is Dr Patel at Riverside Medical.
Amelia
Noted. I've logged your refill request for Perindopril 5mg, flagged Dr Patel at Riverside Medical, and noted approximately four days of supply remaining. Our pharmacist will follow up within a few hours and we'll call you once there's an update. Is the best number to reach you the one you're calling from?
Customer
Yes, that's fine. Thank you.
Amelia
You're welcome, David. We'll be in touch shortly. Take care.

Outcome: Refill request logged with full details and prescribing GP recorded. Pharmacist follow-up queued automatically. Customer kept informed without occupying pharmacist time on a routine administrative call.

Amelia
Good afternoon, Lakeside Pharmacy. I'm Amelia. How can I help?
Customer
Hi, my daughter is six and I need to know how much ibuprofen I can give her. She's 22 kilograms.
Amelia
I understand you need a quick answer for your daughter. For dosage guidance — especially for children — it's important that you speak directly with one of our pharmacists so they can give you accurate advice based on her weight and the specific product. I can connect you with a pharmacist right now — would that work?
Customer
Yes please, that would be great.
Amelia
I'll transfer you to our pharmacist now. I've noted your daughter is six years old and 22 kilograms — they'll have that context ready when they pick up. One moment please.

Outcome: Amelia recognises a clinical boundary, avoids providing medical advice, and facilitates a warm transfer to the pharmacist with full context — ensuring the customer receives safe, accurate guidance from a qualified professional.

Amelia
Hello, Riverside Pharmacy. I'm Amelia. How can I help today?
Customer
Hi, I'd like to get a flu shot. Do you have those available and do I need to book?
Amelia
Yes, we offer flu vaccinations at the pharmacy — no GP visit required. We recommend booking in advance so a pharmacist is available to administer it. Are you looking to come in this week?
Customer
Yes, Thursday or Friday morning if possible.
Amelia
We have Thursday at 9:00 am and Friday at 8:30 am available. Which suits you better?
Customer
Thursday at 9 works perfectly.
Amelia
Excellent. Could I take your full name, date of birth, and a contact number? I'll also need to know whether you have Medicare or private health cover — our pharmacist will run a brief health screening when you arrive.
Customer
Sandra Reeves, 3rd July 1975, 0411 882 340. I have Medicare and Medibank private.
Amelia
Done, Sandra. You're booked for a flu vaccination this Thursday at 9:00 am. We'll send a confirmation shortly. Please bring your Medicare card and Medibank details. We'll see you Thursday.

Outcome: Vaccination appointment confirmed, customer details and health fund information captured — ready for the pharmacist to complete the booking without any follow-up administrative work required.

Amelia
Hello, Greenfields Pharmacy. I'm Amelia. How can I help?
Customer
Hi, are you open this Sunday? And do you stock something for a sore throat — it's quite bad.
Amelia
Yes, we're open this Sunday from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm. For sore throat products — we stock a good range including lozenges, sprays, and combination cold and flu preparations. Our pharmacist can point you to the most suitable option based on your symptoms when you come in. Would you like me to note anything for the team?
Customer
That's great, no need. I'll pop in Sunday morning. Thanks.
Amelia
Sounds good — hope you're feeling better soon. We'll see you Sunday morning.

Outcome: Trading hours confirmed and product category availability communicated — visit secured without any staff involvement. Customer directed to pharmacist for in-person product guidance on arrival.

Everything Your Counter Handles, Automated

Amelia speaks naturally with customers and manages your most common enquiries — freeing your pharmacist and dispensary staff to focus on clinical care, patient counselling, and accurate dispensing.

Most Common

Prescription Management

Customers routinely call to check whether their prescription is ready for collection. Amelia checks status against your dispensing system and provides an instant, accurate response — whether the script is awaiting stock, currently being dispensed, or ready for pickup — without interrupting your dispensary workflow.

Stock Enquiries

Customers frequently call ahead to check whether specific OTC products, branded medications, or healthcare devices are in stock before making a trip. Amelia provides accurate stock status and pricing information from your inventory — reducing in-store frustration and saving everyone's time.

Health Advice Routing

When customers ask questions that require pharmacist input — dosage queries, drug interactions, medication suitability — Amelia recognises the clinical boundary immediately and facilitates a warm transfer or scheduled call-back with full context captured, ensuring safe and accurate clinical handoffs every time.

Delivery Scheduling

For pharmacies offering medication delivery services, Amelia manages the entire booking workflow — confirming delivery eligibility, capturing address and contact details, and scheduling a delivery window. Customers can arrange their delivery 24/7 without requiring staff time for a scheduling conversation.

Vaccination Bookings

Flu shots, COVID boosters, travel vaccinations, and other immunisation services can all be booked through Amelia. She checks your vaccination schedule, captures contact and health fund details, and sends a confirmed booking — freeing your team from managing vaccination calendars manually during seasonal peaks.

Compounding Order Enquiries

Pharmacies with compounding services can use Amelia to handle initial enquiries, capture product and patient details, confirm lead times, and schedule pickup or delivery of compounded preparations. Amelia logs all specifics for your compounding team and ensures customers receive a clear timeline from their first contact.

Real Results from Real Pharmacies

Pharmacies across Australia are reducing counter interruptions, improving prescription turnaround communication, and delivering a faster customer experience from the very first interaction.

★★★★★

"We're a busy independent pharmacy — our dispensary handles around 160 prescriptions on a typical weekday. The phone was non-stop. Customers calling to check if their script was ready, whether we had a product in stock, what our public holiday hours were. Since Amelia came on board, those routine calls are handled without us lifting a finger. Our pharmacists now spend their time counselling patients at the counter rather than triaging phone calls. The change has been remarkable."

James Nguyen
Proprietor Pharmacist, Parkview Pharmacy — Melbourne VIC
★★★★★

"The vaccination booking feature was the game-changer for us. During flu season we were fielding 40 to 50 vaccination enquiries a day on top of everything else. Trying to check the schedule, confirm availability, take down details — it was chaotic. Amelia now manages the entire booking process. Our flu clinic has been fully booked weeks in advance and I haven't had to manually schedule a single vaccination appointment since we went live."

Sarah Thornton
Pharmacy Manager, Coastal Health Pharmacy — Gold Coast QLD
★★★★★

"What convinced me was the after-hours capability. Customers were leaving voicemails late Friday nights — prescription refill requests, stock enquiries, requests to contact their GP. By Monday there'd be 15 or 20 messages to work through. Amelia handles every one of those interactions in real time, logs a structured summary for the team, and flags anything requiring pharmacist follow-up. Monday mornings are a completely different experience now."

Rachel Edmonds
Owner, Harrington Street Chemist — Sydney NSW

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from pharmacy owners and managers exploring AI voice assistants for their business.

Can Amelia give medical advice or recommend medications?
