Three decades in the making

Our History

1994 — Humble Beginnings

CyberSquad was founded by university student John Drummond in Mount Barker. What began as a modest side venture — homemade brochures and driving around the Adelaide Hills fixing home computers — quickly earned a reputation for friendly, reliable service.

1995 — Stepping into Retail

CyberSquad opened Compustore on Norwood's bustling Parade, expanding into computer sales and in-store technical consulting — broadening the company's expertise and customer base.

Mid-1990s — Innovation in Tech Financing

Inspired by rental programs seen overseas, John pioneered IntelliRENT, an innovative financing option that helped more Australians access the latest computer technology — a hallmark of CyberSquad's inventive approach.

1999 — Focusing on Healthcare IT

Partnering with MIMS Software to advise medical practices revealed a vital need for IT specialists in healthcare. From 1999, CyberSquad devoted itself exclusively to healthcare IT — emerging as a leader in the field.

Early 2000s — Growth and Relocation

As the client list grew, CyberSquad moved to a larger facility in Melrose Park. With like-minded colleagues joining, the business began supporting more clinics and projects across South Australia.

2014 — A New Headquarters & National Reach

CyberSquad moved its HQ to Unley Road, Adelaide — symbolising its evolution into a national player, supporting clinics nationwide, including remote providers as far as Kangaroo Island.

2010s — Expanding to Tasmania

Growth took CyberSquad beyond the mainland with an office in Hobart's historic Salamanca Place. What began with a single consultant in a carport blossomed into a full branch serving clinics across Tasmania.

Today — Premier Health IT Consultants

CyberSquad is proudly Australia's premier dedicated healthcare IT consulting company. From King William Road in Unley, with a Hobart office and local teams in Sydney and the Gold Coast, our team of 20+ professionals supports 350+ medical practices nationwide — still led by founder John Drummond.
