For specialist clinics in Australia

31% of referred
patients never book.
Because nobody
followed up.

GP referrals expire. Patients lose momentum. DrKing captures every referral the moment it arrives, follows up automatically, and books the appointment — so the patient your GP colleague referred actually walks through your door.

20 minutes. No commitment. A healthier practice.

Specialised care. Seamless connection.

The referral follow-up gap

Exceptional care.
A missing connection.

Your expertise brings the referrals.
What happens next determines whether those patients ever reach your door.

01 / THE SILENCE

Your GP referrer sent the patient. The patient is waiting. Nobody called them.

The referral follow-up gap is the #1 revenue leak in specialist clinics. The GP did their job. The patient is ready. But your team didn’t call in time.

Close the follow-up gap
02 / THE WAIT

Long wait lists push patients to competitors.

When a specialist has a 6-week wait list and no communication, patients find another specialist. DrKing manages wait lists automatically — and notifies patients when earlier slots open.

Keep your wait list moving
03 / THE EMPTY SLOT

A no-show for a 45-minute specialist slot costs you $3,200.

Specialist appointments are high-value and long. One no-show doesn’t just waste a slot — it wastes the referral, the GP’s time, and the patient’s trust.
