Parkville's nearest repair shop

Fast, honest phone repair minutes from the Parkville precinct

Parkville barely stops. Students stream across the University of Melbourne campus between lectures and the library, and around the clock the Parkville biomedical precinct — the Royal Melbourne Hospital, the Royal Children's, the Royal Women's, Peter Mac and the research institutes — runs on shift workers, researchers and clinicians who live and die by their phones. When a screen shatters or a battery gives out mid-roster, you need it fixed quickly and honestly, not posted away for a week. That's where iFix comes in — the inner-north's trusted repair specialists, just up the road.

You'll find us at 95 Sydney Road, Brunswick — directly opposite McDonald's, a few minutes north of Parkville. It's an easy trip however you travel: the 19 tram runs straight up Royal Parade and onto Sydney Road, so from Melbourne Uni or the hospitals you stay on the same tram to our door. The Upfield train line stops at Jewell and Brunswick stations a short walk away, and by bike it's a quick run through Royal Park. Most customers walk out the same day, and for common repairs we'll often have you sorted within the hour while you wait — back on campus or on the ward before your break's over.

Built for busy students, uni staff & healthcare workers

We know a broken phone in Parkville is more than an inconvenience — it's your student card and lecture notes, or your pager-adjacent lifeline, on-call number, hospital logins and alarm for a 6am start. So we keep repairs fast and affordable, quote everything for free up front, and never push the dearest option. On a tight roster or timetable? Book online first and we'll have your part ready so you're in and out. Upgrading? We also buy phones and take trade-ins, and sell warranty-backed refurbished handsets.

🩺 On a hospital roster or uni timetable?

Tell us your window when you drop in or book — if you're between shifts or squeezing it in before a lecture, we'll prioritise a same-day, while-you-wait fix on common models so you're not left without a phone. Free quote before we touch anything.
