In short: DocHelp drafts medical centre floor plans to the RACGP Standards and designs, renovates and builds clinics in Melbourne and surrounds — including doctor room setup so a new GP can start on day one.
Medical centre plans drafted and drawn in-house to the RACGP Standards, a design and renovation team for existing clinics, a practice design and building team for new ones, and doctor room setup so a new GP can start consulting the day they arrive. Drawn by people who have run the rooms.

A waiting room reception can’t see. A treatment room with no clean-and-dirty separation. Consulting rooms where the patient sits between the doctor and the door. A vaccine fridge in a corridor. None of it fails the practice on day one — it fails at assessment, in staff safety, and in the daily friction that wears a team down.
We draft the plans ourselves because we know what a consulting day looks like from reception, from the nurse’s chair and from the doctor’s. Then our design, renovation and build teams turn the plan into rooms — staged around a working clinic if it has to be.
We measure the space, draw the plan, and check it against the Standards and how the clinic will run. You see the layout before anyone quotes.
Finishes, furniture, joinery, lighting and equipment specified for clinical rooms — durable, cleanable, compliant.
Our team does the work or manages the builder and trades to the plan, staged around opening hours for operating clinics.
Rooms set up, doctors’ rooms ready, evacuation diagrams on the wall, equipment lists and maintenance schedules handed to the practice manager.
Recruiting a GP is hard. Losing one in the first month because the room wasn’t ready is avoidable.
Layout to the Standards, examination couch, clinical hand basin, sharps and waste placement, privacy, lighting and seating.
Equipment and consumables list sourced through our supplies partners, checked and stocked before the first session.
Workstation built by our IT team, clinical software user, templates, letterheads, fee schedule, secure messaging, label printer.
Provider number, PRODA, credentialing file and induction — with a practice manager who knows how to keep the doctor’s day running.
Yes. We draft and draw medical centre plans in-house — floor plans, room layouts and evacuation diagrams — against the RACGP Standards, infection control requirements and the way a clinic actually flows. Practices routinely pay external draftspeople thousands for plans drawn by someone who has never worked in one.
Yes. Our design and renovation team stages the work room by room, after hours and on weekends where needed, so consulting continues. We plan the sequence with the practice manager so the doctors always have rooms and the waiting area is never a building site during opening hours.
Everything a new or returning doctor needs to start consulting: room layout and furniture to the Standards, examination couch, clinical hand basin and sharps placement, equipment and consumables list, workstation and clinical software build, printer and label printer, secure messaging, and the templates and fee schedule loaded in Best Practice or Medical Director. The doctor walks in and starts.
Both, depending on scope. We have a practice design and building team for fit-outs and renovations, and for larger builds we manage the builder, trades and certifiers against our plans and specifications so the finished rooms pass assessment first time.
Every plan is checked against the RACGP Standards and infection prevention guidance before a builder quotes: sightlines from reception, private conversation space, room sizes, clean and dirty zones in treatment, hand basins, secure medication and vaccine storage, accessible facilities, staff areas and evacuation. Moving a wall on paper is free; moving it after the fit-out is not.
