Does Ichelon Australia have a Sydney office?

Yes. The Australia practice is anchored in Merrylands, Sydney (Unit 9/26-28 Manchester St, Merrylands NSW 2160) and is led locally by Siddhant Malik. Delivery covers Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Parramatta, Merrylands and the Gold Coast, with a Sydney-time-zone reporting cadence for every engagement.

Is Ichelon compliant with AHPRA advertising guidelines?

Yes. Every draft for an Australian practice — landing page, ad, video, review response, GBP post, blog — is read against AHPRA Section 133 advertising guidelines before it goes live, not as a review step at the end. In addition, drafts are read against TGA, Medicare rebate rules, Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Consumer Law before publish.

What industries does Ichelon Australia serve?

Nine sectors are active in the Sydney office: healthcare (the core), pharma and life sciences, medical devices, real estate, ed-tech, e-commerce, fintech, SaaS and multi-industry / enterprise. Each sector's own regulator rulebook is applied at brief stage — TGA for pharma, ASIC and AUSTRAC for fintech, ACL and ACCC for e-commerce, and so on.

How much does an Ichelon Australia engagement cost?

Retainers are custom-scoped per engagement, from Rs 20,000 per month equivalent (approximately AUD 370). The delivery bench sits in India, which is why the operating economics are a fraction of a comparable Australia-based agency for the same scope. Product SKUs like Angryturtle (Rs 999) are available as standalone DIY tools.

Can Ichelon Australia handle Google Ads and Meta Ads for a healthcare practice?

Yes. Paid search and paid social are core service lines. Landing pages are legally reviewed for Google Ads Healthcare and Medicines policy AND Meta Ads Health and Wellness policy AND AHPRA before spend goes live. The second-most-common reason we get called is that a previous agency's account got restricted after a platform policy-team escalation — this is preventable at brief stage.

Does Ichelon Australia work with non-healthcare businesses?

Yes — pharma trade, real estate, ed-tech, e-commerce, fintech and SaaS are all served under the same operating model, with each sector's regulator playbook applied. The core specialisation remains healthcare, and multi-sector engagements sit under the multi-industry hub.

How is the Australia practice different from the India headquarters?

The Sydney office gives clients an on-ground Australia contact and a reporting cadence in the Sydney time zone. Delivery still runs out of the India bench, which is what keeps the pricing efficient. Every engagement has read-through to the ICG global leadership — Leadership Team and function heads — for specialist workstreams the local desk doesn't hold in-house.

Australia Leadership

The person you talk to when you engage the Sydney office

Siddhant Malik

Ichelon Australia · Practice Head, Sydney

Siddhant runs the Australia practice out of Merrylands, Sydney. His job is to sit between the practice owner in Australia and the delivery team in India — translate what the practice actually needs into a scope of work, hold the delivery team to the timeline, and make sure every campaign that ships has been read against AHPRA, TGA, Medicare and Privacy Act guidance before it goes live. Before ICG, he spent time on the operator side of healthcare in ANZ, which is why the engagement conversations tend to skip the theatre — the shortlist question in Australia is usually "who actually understands the compliance rulebook before I have to teach them" and the answer needs to be there in the first call.

Connect on LinkedIn Email the Sydney desk WhatsApp

If the engagement crosses over into ads at scale, YouTube production, hospital NABH / accreditation work or global reporting, Siddhant loops in the relevant senior from the ICG global bench — you get a specialist for the workstream without paying for a whole second agency to onboard.

Services · Australia

What Ichelon Australia does

Six service lines are active in the Sydney office. Each is scoped to what the Australian regulator environment actually allows — no imported US or India playbooks that trip AHPRA or TGA on the first campaign.

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

Suburb-level ranking for practice locations across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. Review-generation workflows written to AHPRA testimonial rules (no health-outcome claims from patients). Google Business Profile posts, service descriptions, Q&A moderation and category-mix management run under the Angryturtle operating system.

Search & AI Overview (AIO)

Ranking on Google Search and on the AI Overview / Perplexity / ChatGPT answer surfaces — for commercial queries and for the informational queries that lead into them. Content stack is briefed against AHPRA Section 133 advertising restrictions before the first draft, not after.

Google Ads & Meta Ads

Paid search and paid social with a Sydney-time-zone reporting cadence. Landing pages are legally reviewed for platform healthcare policy AND AHPRA before spend goes live — the second-most-common reason we get called is that a previous agency's account got restricted after a policy-team escalation.

YouTube & Video (YODA)

Long-form and short-form YouTube built for the AIO era — where a Google Search result increasingly cites a video timestamp. Filming lists, scripts, thumbnails and end-screen strategy are set up so the channel keeps compounding after the initial 90-day sprint.

Reputation & Online Review Management

Review pipeline, response automation, sentiment monitoring and Reddit / forum surveillance. Every response template is written to AHPRA testimonial guidance and to Australian Consumer Law's misleading-and-deceptive-conduct standard — the two rulebooks that trip up almost every DIY response workflow.

Website & Content

Website builds and content programmes for practices that need a site that is a lead engine, not a brochure. WCAG-oriented accessibility, structured data, page-speed budget and Privacy Act 1988 conformant data-capture — including the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme for anything that touches health information.

Industries · Australia

Industries served across Australia

The core specialisation is healthcare — dental, aesthetic, dermatology, IVF, orthopaedic, plastic surgery, allied and hospital groups. Adjacent industries are served where the underlying discipline (local search, compliance-driven advertising, review-heavy category, high-consideration purchase) is the same.

Healthcare

Dental, aesthetic, dermatology, IVF, orthopaedic, plastic surgery, allied and multi-specialty group practices. AHPRA · TGA · Medicare · Privacy Act.

Pharma & Life Sciences

Trade marketing, HCP engagement and educational content for pharmaceutical, biotech and life-sciences groups. TGA · APVMA · Medicines Australia code.

Medical Devices

Device manufacturer marketing, hospital procurement and clinician outreach. TGA · ARTG · Medical Device Regulation.

Real Estate

Agency, developer and property-services marketing across NSW, VIC, QLD, WA and SA. Real Estate Act (state) · ACL · Fair Trading.

Ed-Tech

Course platforms, tutoring networks, K-12 EdTech, and higher-education partnerships. Privacy Act 1988 · ACSC ISM · NDB scheme.

E-Commerce

D2C brand growth on Google, Meta, YouTube and Marketplaces for Australia-domiciled and Australia-shipping merchants. ACL · Privacy Act · ACCC · PCI-DSS.

Fintech

Lending, wealth, payments and neobank growth marketing with a regulator-first content approach. ASIC · APRA · AUSTRAC · Privacy Act.

SaaS & B2B Tech

Category-leader positioning, ABM plays and content programmes for SaaS companies selling into Australian enterprise. Privacy Act · NDB · ACSC ISM.

Multi-Industry & Enterprise

Groups operating across two or more of the categories above — typically holding companies, PE-backed rollups and Australian arms of Asia-headquartered groups.

Coverage · Australia

Where the Australia practice delivers

The Sydney office is the anchor. Delivery covers the five state capitals and the Sydney-metro suburb belt that concentrates most of our practice-owner clients.

Sydney Melbourne Brisbane Perth Adelaide Parramatta Merrylands Gold Coast Blacktown Craigieburn Rowville

Practice serving all Australian states and territories. Regional and single-location practices outside the metros above are engaged case-by-case — the deciding factor is usually whether the Google Business Profile catchment and Meta ads geo-radius have enough population density to make monthly campaigns worthwhile.

Compliance-first · Australia

Six rulebooks that decide whether an Australian campaign ships or gets restricted

Every draft — landing page, ad, video, review response, blog, GBP post, email — is read against these six before publish. In practice, the campaigns that get pulled down in Australia almost always fail one of them; and it is almost always avoidable at brief stage.

AHPRA

Advertising Guidelines under Section 133 of the National Law — testimonial rules, before-and-after image rules, misleading-claim rules and "gifts and discounts" rules.

TGA

Therapeutic Goods Advertising Code — permitted representations, prohibited representations, prescription-only medicine rules and device advertising limits.

Medicare

Medicare rebate advertising restrictions — including MBS item numbers, bulk-billing claims and "no gap" language that has to be substantiated.

Privacy Act 1988

Australian Privacy Principles, health-information-specific rules and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme — every data-capture form has to conform.

Australian Consumer Law

Misleading-and-deceptive-conduct standard under the Competition and Consumer Act — the ACCC-facing rulebook that catches "guarantee" language and unsubstantiated superlatives.

Platform healthcare policy

Google Ads Healthcare and Medicines policy, Meta Ads Health & Wellness policy — platform-specific restrictions that operate on top of the regulator rules and get accounts restricted first.

The Search Intelligence Trifecta

Three product-led workstreams that run under every Australia engagement

The Trifecta is the reason ICG can hold campaign quality at India-cost operating economics. Instead of a bespoke playbook per client, three product surfaces do the heavy lifting — and the human team spends its time on strategy, compliance review and the parts a product cannot automate.

Angryturtle

Google Business Profile operating system

GBP posts, service descriptions, Q&A moderation, review-request pipelines and category-mix management. From Rs 999/- for the DIY tier; managed engagements sit under the ICG DFY retainer.

Angryturtle overview

SIE

Search Intelligence Engine

Ranking on Google Search AND on the AI Overview / Perplexity / ChatGPT answer surfaces — the second surface is where healthcare research is increasingly happening. SIE briefs against AHPRA before the first draft.

SIE overview

YODA

YouTube AIO operating system

Long-form + Shorts strategy, scripting, thumbnails and channel-level SEO built for the AIO era, where Google Search increasingly cites a YouTube timestamp as a first-page answer.

The team behind your account

Every diagnostic is led by a founder.
You'll know their names before the engagement begins.

ICG was built by three IIT BHU engineers who entered healthcare marketing with a specific intent: to build the tools that didn't exist and run the campaigns that most agencies couldn't. When you book a diagnostic, Rohit or Abhash leads it personally. Not an account manager. Not a senior executive. The people who built what you're evaluating.

The ICG team — 60+ healthcare marketing specialists at Gurgaon HQ
