Optimised design for patients and practitioners
Every Melbourne healthcare fitout and new build we undertake is designed with patients at the centre. Each space is calm, efficient, and intuitive. We study how practitioners move, how patients feel, and how every room needs to function.
Our design approach ensures your investment is fully optimised. By carefully planning layouts to maximise usable floor space and gross floor area, we create environments that improve functionality, increase capacity, and enhance the long-term value of your practice.
Intelligent design that reduces stress and improves the experience for everyone who walks through the door.

Helpful information
For Melbourne Practice Owners
Does OPTIMA handle the entire healthcare construction process?
Yes. We offer a full turnkey solution, managing everything from initial property advisory, design, council approvals, through to final healthcare fit out and handover for medical dental & specialist practices.
How long does a typical medical fit out take in Melbourne?
Timelines vary based on the project’s scale. While there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution to medical fit outs, we’ve delivered numerous healthcare projects within 8 to 14 weeks. Importantly, we provide a detailed project schedule during the planning phase to ensure clear expectations.
Are your healthcare fitouts and ground up builds tailored to specific medical regulations?
Absolutely. Our design team ensures every project meets strict Australian healthcare standards, including infection control requirements and accessibility guidelines.
Can you assist with interior design for a new practice?
Yes. We integrate interior design into our healthcare design process, selecting durable, clinical grade materials and furniture that enhance the professional aesthetic of your practice.
Can you assist with site selection for a Melbourne healthcare practice?
Yes. Melbourne presents a mix of planning overlays, zoning controls, and site-specific constraints. Our Property Advisory team assesses potential sites to ensure they are suitable for a healthcare fit out or new build before you commit to buying or leasing.
Do you deliver veterinary fitouts in Melbourne?
Yes. OPTIMA designs and delivers veterinary fitouts and new builds across Melbourne and Victoria. From local clinics to larger veterinary hospitals, these environments require careful planning around treatment areas, surgical suites, animal handling, and infection control.
