When your practice outgrows Bp Premier's shape
Bp Premier is GP-shaped software. Mixed groups — GPs plus physio, psychology, dental or specialists — end up forcing other disciplines through that shape.
Where Best Practice is strong
Best Practice (Bp Premier) is one of Australia's dominant GP clinical and practice management systems, developed in Bundaberg, Queensland. It is deep clinical software: prescribing, pathology, MBS billing and care planning, typically installed on a practice server.
Deep GP clinical tooling — prescribing, pathology, results, care plans. Ubiquitous in Australian general practice, so locums and staff know it. Strong MBS billing support.
Why practices look beyond it
It is built for GP clinical medicine first — practices whose pain is operations (scheduling, communications, task flow, multi-location coordination) are working against its grain. Server-based deployment carries hardware, backup and IT overhead. Allied health and specialist teams inside a group often find it heavier than their workflows need.
How Intellicore answers
The pattern we see: a group keeps Bp for its GPs (rightly — prescribing and MBS workflows live there) while the allied or specialist side struggles with clinical fields that don't fit, item structures meant for MBS, and communications built for GP recalls. Intellicore runs that side properly — terminology configured per discipline, Medicare/DVA and health-fund claiming, health profiles, scheduling per practitioner and room — in one cloud system that coexists with the GP stack rather than fighting it.
Moving from Best Practice
Intellicore is not a GP prescribing system — if scripts, pathology and MBS clinical workflows are your core, Bp remains built for that. Where we fit is the operations layer and allied/specialist arms of a group: we migrate patients, appointments, communications and billing operations, and can run alongside clinical systems.

Common questions
What does migrating from Best Practice involve?
Intellicore is not a GP prescribing system — if scripts, pathology and MBS clinical workflows are your core, Bp remains built for that. Where we fit is the operations layer and allied/specialist arms of a group: we migrate patients, appointments, communications and billing operations, and can run alongside clinical systems. The whole process runs in five steps — demo and discovery, configuration, data migration, parallel testing, go-live — and our team does the work.
Does Intellicore replace GP clinical software?
No — and we say so plainly. Prescribing, pathology and MBS clinical workflows stay in dedicated GP clinical systems. Intellicore runs the operations layer — scheduling, communications, patient flow, billing operations — and fully serves the allied, dental and specialist arms of mixed groups.
How does Intellicore pricing work?
Pricing is quoted per practice after a demo, and onboarding is done for you — our team installs, configures, migrates your data and trains your staff. There is no self-serve signup: every practice goes live with its data and workflows in place rather than an empty account.
