I hate ringing to book appointments.  I have a fear of the phone and hate making phone calls. I try to do as much as I can online but there is a definite gap in the market for health care appointments.  Until 1st Available came along.

1st available is a revolutionary new system in Australia that allows patients to make appointments while on the go.  Imagine no more waiting on the phone for 20 minutes while you have a screaming toddler in one ear and droning hold music in the other. Sounds like bliss doesn’t it?  As a mum that is one of the hardest thing to do..complete a phone call without an interruption from our children.  We do our best to occupy them, but Murphy’s Law will always intervene, ensuring that our little darlings will desperately need us for every single excruciating second that we are on hold.

1st available isn’t just for GP appointments but also for a wide range of specialists including dentists, psychologists and even radiology services. You can choose the 1st Available appointment or specify a day that you prefer.

So what’s the catch I hear you ask?  1st available needs your help.  While the consumers realise the importance of this kind of service, practitioners are still yet to catch up to the 8 ball.
