Robina Medical Leasing Guide – How to Secure the Right Health Premises in 2025

What every healthcare provider needs to know about commercial leasing in Robina’s thriving medical corridor

Why Robina?

Robina is fast becoming the health and wellness capital of the Gold Coast. With an established medical precinct, private hospital, and new health-focused commercial buildings, it’s now a prime location for:

• General practitioners

• Physiotherapists

• Psychologists

• Chiropractors

• Dentists

• Cosmetic and skin specialists

• Medical imaging providers

• NDIS + allied health operators

The result? Demand for medical suites and consulting rooms is surging.

Understanding the Leasing Landscape

Medical and healthcare tenants typically lease spaces that are:

🏥 Purpose-built with:

• Reception + waiting areas

• Multiple consulting rooms

• Disabled access + amenities

• Shared or dedicated parking

• Appropriate zoning for health use

🏥 Located in:

• Commercial health hubs (e.g. Easy T Centre, Riverwalk)

• Specialist buildings near Robina Hospital

• Shop-top mixed-use developments in medical-zoned strips

• Free-standing buildings adapted for consulting

Pro Tip: Robina’s medical zones support both bulk-billing and private practice models, which means leasing strategies can vary based on income structure and client volume.

Step-by-Step Leasing Checklist for Medical Professionals

1. Define the Type of Space You Need

• Are you a solo operator, group practice, or multi-disciplinary hub?

• Do you need reception support or shared services?

• Will you require wet rooms, radiology shielding, or surgical prep space?

2. Confirm Compliance & Fitout Flexibility

• Ensure the property has DA approval for medical use

• Check fire compliance and disability access

• Consider soundproofing, especially for psychology or physiotherapy

• Confirm access to air-conditioning zoning per room

Pro Tip: If leasing in a mixed-use building, confirm body corporate approval for signage and opening hours.

3. Target the Right Location Inside Robina

Each pocket caters to a different tier of clients — some attract bulk-billing, others private-pay patients seeking premium services.

4. Know What to Negotiate in the Lease

• Lease term (minimum 3–5 years preferred by landlords)

• Rent-free or fitout contribution period

• Car parking inclusions (dedicated vs shared)

• Signage rights and external exposure

• Renewal and exit clauses

• Outgoings (water, cleaning, rates, body corp fees)

• After-hours access and security

Pro Tip: Many Robina landlords are now offering turnkey or partially fitted suites with basic cabinetry and data cabling to reduce setup time.

5. Consider Future Expansion

Don’t lease “just enough.” If you plan to:

• Hire new practitioners

• Add a second treatment room

• Offer additional services (e.g., injectables, nutrition, or rehabilitation)

... then ensure your space will scale with your business. Norton’s can guide you to tenancies with subleasing potential or expansion pathways.
