Project Work for Geelong Medical Practices

From Essential Eight uplift to AI admin pilots, we deliver focused, fixed-fee improvements - without forcing you onto a monthly contract.

Essential Eight Uplift

Practical Essential Eight Maturity 1-2 alignment - MFA, patching, app control, backups, and user training. Fixed-fee, evidenced.

Clinical Software Projects

Set-up, migration, and troubleshooting for Best Practice, MedicalDirector, Pracsoft, HotDoc, Halaxy, Cliniko, and Genie.

Privacy Act & Notifiable Breaches

Technical controls that map to APP 11 and the NDB scheme - encryption, audit logs, role-based access, incident response.

Computer Fleet Refresh

Spec, procure, image, and deploy new clinical workstations and laptops. Old gear wiped properly and audit-trailed.

Local Context

Project-based IT for Geelong healthcare

Medical practices are not like other small businesses. You handle sensitive patient data under the Privacy Act and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, you rely on clinical software with complex Medicare and pathology integrations, and you cannot afford downtime in the middle of a clinic session.

We deliver healthcare IT as focused, fixed-fee projects - Essential Eight uplift for your insurer, a clean M365 migration, an AI admin pilot that saves clinicians hours every week, or a new practice fit-out. Scoped properly, scheduled around clinic hours, and handed back with documentation when we're done.

Practices we work with

  • GP clinics and corporate medical groups
  • Dental and orthodontic practices
  • Physiotherapy, psychology, podiatry, OT
  • Optometry and audiology
  • Pharmacies and compounding labs
  • Specialist practices and day surgeries
FAQ

Medical Practice IT FAQs

Straight answers, no fluff.

No. Most of our medical work is one-off project and consulting - Essential Eight uplift, clinical software migration, AI admin pilots, network refreshes, and new practice fit-outs. Fixed-fee scope, no lock-in.

We have experience with Best Practice, MedicalDirector, Pracsoft, HotDoc, Halaxy, Cliniko, Genie, and Front Desk - including the Medicare, MyHR, and e-prescribing integrations.

Yes. We deliver Essential Eight uplift on a fixed-fee project basis, mapped to your cyber insurance or accreditation requirements. We also implement the technical controls behind APP 11 and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme - encryption, MFA, audit logs, and incident response.

No. We schedule cutovers and changes outside clinic hours - weekends, evenings, or staff training days - and we never touch clinical configuration without testing in a safe environment first.

Yes - if it is set up properly. We use privacy-respecting AI pilots that draft letters in your practice tone, with clinician approval before anything is sent. Patient data is not used to train external models.

Most scoping visits are booked within a week. Fixed-fee proposals follow within 5 business days. Projects typically run 1-4 weeks from sign-off with weekly check-ins and clear handover at the end.

Yes. We work with GP clinics, dental, physiotherapy, psychology, podiatry, optometry, and pharmacies across Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, and the Surf Coast.
