How Drone Doctor works
Customers anywhere in Australia can send their drone by courier to the Ballarat workshop for assessment and repair, while local and regional customers can drop it off during business hours.
The workshop is based in Ballarat, Victoria, which gives Drone Doctor a real repair location while keeping the main offer Australia-wide.
The focus is mainly on DJI aircraft and the problems DJI owners ask about most often, including crash damage, gimbal faults, startup warnings, charging issues, and general diagnostics.
- Ballarat workshop with business-hours drop-off
- Australia-wide mail-in drone repair for interstate and regional customers
- DJI-focused repair support for diagnostics, crash repair, and gimbal issues
How the repair process works
The repair workflow is the same whether the drone arrives from Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, or a local Ballarat drop-off.
Step 1
Tell us what is happening
Start by telling us the drone model, the symptoms, and whether you plan to send it from elsewhere in Australia or bring it to the Ballarat workshop during business hours. Start with the model, the fault symptoms, any visible damage, and whether you would like to use our Australia-wide mail-in service or Ballarat workshop drop-off.
Step 2
Ship the drone or use local drop-off
Most customers send the drone to us by courier from elsewhere in Australia. If you are local, Ballarat workshop drop-off is available during business hours.
Step 3
Diagnosis and quote
When the drone reaches the Ballarat workshop, we inspect the reported fault, the visible condition, and any likely secondary issues that should be considered before quoting. The repair recommendation is based on the confirmed condition of the drone, with the same process used for both Australia-wide mail-in jobs and Ballarat drop-off repairs. Once we confirm the issue, we send through the recommended repair and quote before any work begins.
Step 4
Repair, test, and return
After the repair is complete, the drone is tested for the reported fault and either returned by courier or made ready for local pickup.
Next step
Start a repair enquiry with Drone Doctor
Send through the drone model, the fault, and whether you would rather mail it in or drop it off in Ballarat.
