About

The IT specialist who already knows your clinic.

Before ClinicGuard IT, clinics used to call me anyway.

After 25 years building and securing IT infrastructure at some of Melbourne's most demanding healthcare environments — major Melbourne public hospitals and national healthcare research organisations — I kept getting the same calls from medical practices. Their IT provider didn't understand Best Practice. Nobody knew who to call when pathology results weren't downloading. The appointment system went down at 8am and their MSP had never heard of Zedmed.

That gap was too big to keep ignoring.

ClinicGuard IT exists to give medical practices access to the same calibre of healthcare IT expertise that public hospitals take for granted — without the corporate pricing, the offshore helpdesk, or the junior engineer who learns your software on your time.

Career credentials

In my career I've led HL7 and LIS integrations across pathology laboratories, managed cybersecurity uplift programmes under the Essential Eight framework, and led the IT implementation for a major Victorian pathology provider's My Health Record rollout — one of the most complex healthcare data governance projects in the state at the time.

That's the experience your clinic gets access to. Not a call centre. Not a junior technician. Me.

Why specialist MSPs beat generalist IT

They know your software.

A generalist IT provider learns your PMS on the job. We already know it — the update cycles, the integration quirks, the things that break silently at 7am.

They understand your hours.

Clinics start at 7am. A broken appointment system at 8:15am is a patient care issue, not an IT inconvenience. We treat it that way.

They speak compliance.

RACGP accreditation, My Health Record obligations, the Privacy Act, Essential Eight — we know what these mean for your practice and we document it all.

They're not learning on your time.

Every hour a generalist spends figuring out your environment is an hour you're paying for their education. Our expertise is built in.

Principal-led by design.

Every client works directly with me — a senior IT engineer with 25+ years of hands-on experience, including the exact healthcare environments your practice depends on. For on-site visits and overflow support, I work with a trusted network of vetted healthcare IT specialists, so your practice is never left without cover.
