Communication Infrastructure Built for How Healthcare Actually Works

Patient calls are not ordinary business calls. Appointment bookings, pathology results, prescription requests and clinical discussions all carry privacy obligations that standard phone systems were never designed around.

At Databox, we design, supply and manage phone systems for healthcare providers across Australia, from solo GP clinics to specialist practices and multi-site healthcare networks. Our systems are built on cloud PBX and VoIP technology, managed by an ISO 27001 certified provider, and supported by our team in Brisbane and Melbourne.

Dual-Certified, Not Self-Declared

Very few Brisbane IT and communications providers hold both ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 27001 (information security) certifications. Both are independently audited, not self-declared, and give your practice the documentation it needs for privacy assessments.

Phone Features Built Around Patient Privacy

The core capabilities healthcare providers rely on, set up and supported by our local Australian team.

Secure Communication

Patient calls contain some of the most sensitive information your practice handles. Our cloud phone systems are run under our ISO 27001 certified information security system, which is independently audited, and your voice data, voicemail recordings and call logs are stored in Australian data centres.

Telehealth & Remote Patient Support

Support patients wherever they are. Our VoIP and cloud PBX systems let your clinical team take calls from any device, desk phone, desktop or mobile, without sacrificing call quality or professionalism.

Talk to Us About Your Platform

Every practice runs on a different mix of clinical and admin software. Rather than promise off-the-shelf compatibility, we have an honest conversation about what’s realistic for your setup and how to make it work.

FAQs

Common Questions from Healthcare Providers

Are VoIP phone systems compliant with the Privacy Act for Australian medical practices?

Our systems are managed to ISO 27001 standards and all data is stored in Australian data centres. We recommend speaking with your privacy officer about your specific compliance obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (as amended in 2024) and any applicable state health privacy legislation. We are happy to provide documentation of our security practices to support your review.

Can we connect multiple clinic locations under one phone system?

Yes. Our cloud PBX solutions connect multiple sites under a single system with shared extensions, central call management, and one support relationship. Staff can transfer calls between locations.

Can we keep our existing phone numbers when we switch?

Yes. We handle number porting as part of setup. Porting times are set by the carriers, and we plan the cutover to keep disruption to incoming calls low.

Do you support after-hours call routing and on-call management?

Yes. We configure time-based call routing so calls outside business hours go to an after-hours message, an on-call mobile, or an answering service, whichever suits your practice.

Do you service healthcare practices outside Brisbane?

Yes. We support healthcare practices Australia-wide from our Brisbane and Melbourne offices. Cloud phone systems are set up and supported remotely, and on-site work in other areas can be arranged through our nationwide technician network, whether you have one clinic or sites in several states.

Does your phone system integrate with our practice management software?

Every healthcare practice runs on a different software stack. Rather than promising off-the-shelf integration with every platform, we’ll have an honest conversation about your current setup and scope what’s practical, how the phone system sits alongside your existing software, how handsets are deployed, and where your IT support fits in. Tell us what you use and we’ll set realistic expectations as part of your free quote.

How long does it take to roll out a new phone system for a clinic?

We aim to have most single-site practices live within 2 to 3 weeks, including number porting, handset configuration and staff training, though porting times are set by the carriers. Multi-site rollouts are staged one location at a time to keep disruption low.
