The reality

Practices cannot afford unreliable IT

Medical, dental and allied health practices depend on technology every day — appointments, phones, patient records, clinical software, billing, imaging, email and internet. When IT fails, consults run late, staff lose time, and patient care is affected.

Slow or unreliable systems

Lag, downtime and recurring issues that interrupt consults, reception and billing.

Email and account compromise

Phishing, business email compromise and ransomware aimed at practice staff and patient data.

Untested backups

Backups that have never been restored, or unclear recovery time if a server or PMS fails.

No clear IT ownership

Reactive break-fix support with no documentation, no roadmap and no single point of accountability.

Healthcare risk areas

Common IT risks we see in Australian practices

Most issues we find are not unusual — they are practical gaps that quietly build up between provider changes, software updates and staff turnover. A short review surfaces the ones that matter most.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you only support healthcare practices?+

No. On IT Solutions supports a range of Australian businesses. This site is focused on medical, dental and allied health practices because the workflows, risks and privacy considerations are specific to that sector.

Can you help if we already have an IT provider?+

Yes. We can provide a second opinion, an independent cyber security review, project assistance or a structured transition if you decide to change providers.

Do you support common practice management systems?+

We support the underlying IT environment that practice management and clinical software runs on — Windows, servers, networking, Microsoft 365, backups and remote access. We work alongside your software vendor on application-specific issues.

Do you support Microsoft 365?+

Yes. We manage Microsoft 365 tenants for practices including email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, MFA, conditional access, licensing and user lifecycle.

Can you help with backups and disaster recovery?+

Yes. We review existing backup arrangements, identify gaps (including Microsoft 365 data), and recommend practical recovery improvements with documented restore steps.

Is the Cyber Security Review technical?+

No. The initial review is a practical conversation aimed at practice owners and managers. It surfaces obvious risks and next steps without technical jargon.

Do you help with privacy and notifiable data breaches?+

We support practices with the technical side of the Privacy Act and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme — controls, logging, access reviews and incident response preparation. We do not provide legal advice.

Do you provide onsite support?+

Yes, where appropriate. Onsite visits are available for practices in Melbourne and surrounding Victorian areas.
