Our History
Call Service was established in Melbourne, Australia in 1951 by a Mrs Elly Hamilton. Her goal was to provide a confidential and reliable telephone answering service for Melbourne’s medical community that operated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year. As the first 24 hour telephone answering service of its type in Australia, we pride ourselves on over 70 years of experience and continuous operation.
To this day, Call Service continues to operate as a family owned business in Melbourne, Australia meaning all calls are answered and processed locally.
Since our founding in 1951, we have extended our service offerings to include:
- Medical Paging
- 24/7 Messaging Services
- Lone Worker Solutions
- Corporate Services
- Personalised Answering Services
- After Hours Business Paging Services
Although technology has evolved drastically from our point of inception, our core value of providing professionally tailored services has remained integral to our business.
The business grew rapidly from its initial clientele of 11 doctors to over 300 by 1961. Now we boast a large team of dedicated staff who are committed to maintaining the same professional and friendly call answering service in Australia that started back in 1951. Call Service provides a wide range of services to suit all industry needs.
As the field of personal communications expanded with the introduction of electronic and digital pagers in the 1970′s and 1980′s and the rise of virtual receptionist, Call Service has strived to provide its clients with access to the latest technology, while at the same time maintaining its commitment to professional, friendly service.
Our own telephone and computer systems represent the latest technology that is on offer and is constantly being monitored and enhanced to ensure our clients always receive the fastest, most efficient and cost effective service.
