Find any hospital number in seconds.
A free phone directory for hospital doctors in New Zealand and Australia. Ward, switchboard and on-call numbers, colleagues and placement hints, kept current by the doctors who use them.
No more ringing switch for routine numbers.
Or working off a laminated card that went out of date two terms ago. Every ward, service and on-call number in one place, plus the orientation info nobody writes down.

More than a hospital phone directory.
Wards, switchboard and services
Search by the name you say out loud. Radiology, ED, the ward that just paged you.
Tap to dial
Every number is a link, extensions included. Star the ones you ring most.
Corrected by members
When a number changes, any member can fix it. Every change is logged.
Find colleagues
Doctor profiles, searchable by name, hospital, specialty and level.
Hospital info
Parking, food, ID badges, scrubs, wifi and the medical workforce unit, with a site map.
Placement hints
Tips for each run from the doctors before you, by specialty and level.
No patient information, ever.
The directory holds hospital contact details and the profile each doctor chooses to share. There is no field anywhere that accepts clinical information, and there never will be.
Only doctors with a verified hospital email can see it. Nothing is public or visible to search engines, and the data is held in Sydney, Australia. No advertising, nothing sold, and no third-party analytics or tracking.
You control your own listing. Show it in full, hide your phone number, or hide it from the directory entirely, and delete your account and everything in it at any time.
For hospitals and medical workforce units.
Hospital Phonebook sits alongside your existing systems and replaces nothing clinical. It is always free for doctors; hospitals licence it for their site.
Held in Australia
A managed PostgreSQL database in Sydney, with the application served from Sydney too. Encrypted in transit and at rest.
Locked down in the database
Access to every table is enforced by row-level security in the database itself, not by application code.
Every change on record
Edits to numbers and hospital information go into an audit trail, and any of them can be restored.
No lock-in
Your hospital's numbers stay yours. A copy is available on request, in a format you can keep using.
What we need from you
Someone to confirm your hospital's email domain, and to point us at whatever number list you already have: an intranet page, a spreadsheet, the survival guide. We do the rest of the setup.

Is this an official hospital service?
No. It is a member-run directory built by doctors. It sits alongside your hospital's own systems and replaces nothing clinical.
Do doctors have to pay?
No doctor will ever pay out of their own pocket. It's free for hospital doctors. Organisations like hospitals and clinics pay for their staff to have access.
Who can sign up?
Clinicians with a recognised hospital email address. Setting up an account takes about a minute.
What if a number is wrong?
Any member can correct it, so the next person gets it right. Every change is logged and can be restored.
Is this an alternative to Accurx's directory?
Yes. If you used Accurx to look up ward and switchboard numbers, Hospital Phonebook does the same job for hospitals in New Zealand and Australia, and adds colleague profiles, hospital information and placement hints.
My hospital isn't listed. Can it be added?
Tell us which hospital it is and we'll review it. We only need its email domain and whatever number list already exists.
Sign up with your work email.
Accounts are limited to clinicians with a recognised hospital email address. Setting one up takes about a minute, or look around the demo first with no account.

Whether it's a hospital you'd like added, a correction to a number, or any other question about the site, send us a message and we'll get back to you.
