Medical centreand general practicefitouts.

We build the practices Australian GPs work in — from a six-room suburban clinic to a 25-consult super centre with pathology and allied health under the same roof. Thirty-plus medical centres completed across New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

A medical centre fitout is not a commercial office with sinks. The room count drives your billings, the corridor widths decide whether a patient on a walker can reach the treatment room, and the sterilising bench either passes accreditation or costs you a resubmission. Those decisions are made on the floor plan, months before a single wall goes up.

Doctors&Co Fitouts plans the practice around how the day actually runs: how patients arrive, where reception can see without being overheard, how a nurse moves between treatment and consult, and where pathology sits so collection traffic never crosses the waiting room.

The room count drives your billings. The corridor width decides whether a patient on a walker reaches the treatment room. Both are settled on the floor plan.

01

Consult room sizing and zoning

Rooms sized for an examination couch with clearance on the access side, desk, basin and the equipment your discipline actually uses — not a nominal 3×3 box repeated down a corridor.

02

Reception and waiting sightlines

Front of house laid out so staff can see the entry, the waiting area and the corridor mouth from a seated position, with the counter detailed so a conversation at the desk is not audible from the chairs behind it.

03

Treatment and nurse station

Positioned central to the consult wing so the trip from a consult room is short, with the bench, basin, sharps and waste set out in the sequence a nurse uses them.

04

Sterilising and clean/dirty flow

A one-way bench run — receive, clean, inspect, package, autoclave, store — with no backtracking and no point where clean and contaminated instruments share a surface.

05

Pathology collection

A collection room with its own door off the waiting area, sized for a phlebotomy chair, bench, fridge and the specimen handling the pathology provider requires.

06

Accessible amenities

Accessible and ambulant toilets built to the access provisions the Code calls up, located so a patient does not travel the length of a clinical corridor to reach one.

The compliance envelope.

Named, because “fully compliant” on its own tells you nothing.

NCC 2025 was published on 1 May 2026. Victoria adopted it from that date; New South Wales and Queensland deferred adoption to 1 May 2027, so NSW and QLD projects are still being certified under NCC 2022. We confirm which edition applies before documentation starts, because it changes what the certifier will accept.
AS/NZS 3003:2018 governs electrical installations in patient areas. Whether a given room is wired as a body-protected or cardiac-protected area depends on the procedures performed in it and the equipment used — AS/NZS 2500 guides that classification, and it is a decision for the practice, not the builder. We need it settled before first fix.
Practices accredited against the RACGP Standards for general practices (5th edition) are assessed on criteria the fitout directly determines — infection prevention and control including sterilisation, the practice environment, and patient privacy. Commission reporting for April 2023 to April 2026 shows infection prevention and control (GP4.1A) among the most frequently unmet indicators at accreditation. It is the single most common place a practice loses points on something a builder could have got right.
Accessible paths of travel, door clearances, circulation space and sanitary facilities are Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions under the Code, calling up AS 1428.1. These are certifier items, not nice-to-haves.
A note on complianceGeneral information about the regulatory environment we build in, current as at October 2026 — not legal, regulatory or professional advice. Requirements change and differ by state. Accreditation, licensing and radiation approvals rest with the practice and its own advisers.

What actually drives the cost.

We do not publish a square-metre rate, because the rate would be wrong for your tenancy.

01

Tenancy condition

Warm shell with existing services beats cold shell by a wide margin. Base-build sprinkler, hydraulic and electrical capacity decides how much of your budget goes into things nobody will ever see.

02

Room count and sizing

Consult rooms are the cheapest square metres in a medical centre. Treatment, sterilising, pathology and plant are the expensive ones.

03

Services upgrade

Switchboard capacity, mechanical ventilation to clinical rooms, hydraulic runs to basins and the sterilising bench. On an older tenancy this is frequently the largest single line.

04

Approvals pathway

Whether the works are exempt, complying development or require a DA changes the programme by weeks or months before construction can start.

05

Trading while building

A refurbishment of a practice that stays open — as at Wollongong — is staged, after-hours and dust-controlled, and that carries a real cost.

Medical centre fitouts: common questions.

There is no credible per-square-metre number that survives contact with a real tenancy. The cost is driven by the condition of the shell, the services capacity already in the building, your room count and mix, and the approvals pathway. We price from a measured room schedule and a site inspection, not from a rate card. A site walk-through and an indicative range costs you nothing.
Construction on a standard 200–300 m² practice is typically measured in weeks rather than months, but the programme that matters starts earlier: design, services coordination, approvals and long-lead items. Approvals are the most common cause of a date slipping, which is why we establish the pathway before design is finalised.
Yes. We refurbished a 395 m² medical centre at 200 Crown Street, Wollongong — new reception and renewed finishes through consult, treatment, pathology and amenities — as a working practice. It is staged, sequenced around trading hours and dust-managed, and it needs to be planned that way from the start rather than retrofitted onto a standard programme.
We build to the infection control, privacy, access and amenity requirements your accreditation is assessed against, and we have delivered thirty-plus accredited practices. Accreditation itself is awarded to the practice on policies, records and clinical governance as well as the premises — we are responsible for the parts the building controls, and we will tell you plainly which parts those are.
Always, and before heads of agreement if possible. Floor-to-ceiling height, switchboard capacity, hydraulic access, exhaust paths, accessible entry and the position of the core decide whether your room count is achievable at all. We have seen practices sign a tenancy that could not physically fit the consult count their business case assumed.
