We help hospitals, clinics, imaging practices, aged-care providers and health services manage retired computers, laptops, servers, storage media, mobile devices, networking equipment and other suitable electronic assets with documented handling and reporting.
Protect patient and organisational data

Our process can include asset identification, controlled collection, secure chain of custody, Blancco-based data erasure where appropriate, physical media destruction when required, reuse assessment, recycling and audit-ready reporting.

A practical healthcare ITAD process
- Scope the assets: confirm device types, quantities, locations and data-bearing media.
- Plan collection: agree access, timing, packaging and chain-of-custody requirements.
- Sanitise or destroy data: choose secure erasure or physical destruction according to risk and reuse potential.
- Reuse or recycle: suitable equipment may be assessed for reuse; non-reusable assets are directed to responsible recycling pathways.
- Report: provide records that support internal governance, audit and disposal documentation.
