Healthcare facilities face some of the most demanding evacuation planning requirements of any building type. Patients may be immobile, sedated, or connected to life-sustaining equipment. Staff ratios vary by shift, and areas like operating theatres and radiology suites have specific lockdown and staged-evacuation needs. AS 3745 requires every healthcare building to have clear, current evacuation diagrams that account for these complexities.
Why healthcare need diagrams
- Patients may have limited mobility or be unable to self-evacuate
- Operating theatres, ICU wards, and radiology suites require staged evacuation procedures
- Aged care residents need additional time and staff assistance to evacuate safely
- State health departments and accreditation bodies audit emergency preparedness
- Shift work means many staff may be less familiar with the full building layout
- Hazardous materials including medical gases, pharmaceuticals, and biological waste add risk
Where to install diagrams
- Every ward nurses station and corridor junction
- Emergency department entries and triage areas
- Operating theatres and recovery rooms
- Pharmacy and pathology departments
- Reception and main visitor entrance
- Aged care common rooms and dining areas
- Near medical gas storage and plant rooms
Common challenges
Healthcare buildings are often large, multi-wing, and multi-storey. Ward reconfigurations, new treatment rooms, and building extensions are common. Evacuation planning must account for non-ambulant patients, and diagrams must distinguish between horizontal evacuation (moving patients to an adjacent fire compartment) and full vertical evacuation. Dental practices and GP clinics have simpler layouts but still need compliant diagrams, especially those in shared medical centres.

- Handle complex multi-wing and multi-level floor plans
- Clearly mark fire compartment boundaries for staged evacuation
- Deliver updated diagrams quickly when wards are reconfigured
- Affordable pricing for multi-site medical groups and aged care providers
- No site visit required for standard medical facility layouts

Healthcare FAQ
What is staged evacuation and how is it marked?
Staged evacuation moves patients from one fire compartment to an adjacent compartment within the same building rather than directly outside. AS 3745 diagrams for hospitals show the compartment boundaries (fire-rated walls and doors), the relative location of each compartment, and the sequence of evacuation. Full evacuation outside the building is reserved for situations where the threat affects the whole structure.
Do GP clinics and dental practices need full hospital-grade diagrams?
GP clinics, dental practices, and small medical centres need standard AS 3745 diagrams, not the multi-compartment diagrams used in larger hospitals. The diagrams show the practice layout, fire equipment, and exit paths. If you are a tenant in a shared medical centre, your diagram covers your tenancy and shows the path to the building exits and assembly area.
How are patient mobility limitations reflected in diagrams?
Diagrams used in healthcare settings can include a mobility-impaired-persons procedure that prioritises notifying staff to assist patients, using evacuation chairs or beds where available, and identifying refuge areas inside fire compartments. Aged care diagrams emphasise the longer time required to move residents and the role of staff as primary evacuators.
How quickly can we update diagrams when a ward is reconfigured?
Ward reconfigurations and new treatment rooms are common in healthcare. We work from your updated floor plan or a marked-up sketch and reissue the affected diagrams in 3 to 5 business days. For multi-site hospital networks or aged care providers, we offer volume pricing across all buildings.
