A Cliniko alternative for the clinic you've become
Nobody dislikes Cliniko — that's the remarkable thing. Clinics compare alternatives not to escape it, but because they've grown past what simple was built to hold.
Where Cliniko is strong
Cliniko is an Australian-founded cloud practice management system loved by allied health clinics worldwide — appointments, treatment notes, invoicing and telehealth with famously simple flat pricing per team size.
Genuinely pleasant, simple software with a loyal following. Transparent flat pricing with no per-feature surprises. Reliable, mature cloud platform.
Why practices look beyond it
Simplicity is the product philosophy — larger or multi-disciplinary clinics can outgrow its task automation, reporting and role granularity. Billing beyond straightforward invoicing (complex claiming scenarios, family accounts, reconciliation rigour) is an area to check closely. AI assistance and deeper workflow automation are intentionally minimal.
How Intellicore answers
Cliniko's simplicity is a genuine design achievement, and for many clinics it's still the right answer. The edges show at scale: role granularity when not everyone should see everything, billing beyond clean invoicing (family accounts, complex claiming, reconciliation your accountant signs off), automation beyond reminders, and coordination across disciplines and locations. Intellicore is built for exactly that next size: record-level permissions, an Australian claiming engine, an audited task engine with AI agents under human approval, and multi-location as first-class architecture.

Common questions
What does migrating from Cliniko involve?
Cliniko exports cleanly. We bring patients, appointments, notes, invoices and documents across, keep your numbering continuity, and verify totals with your team. The whole process runs in five steps — demo and discovery, configuration, data migration, parallel testing, go-live — and our team does the work.
Is Intellicore built for Australian practices?
Entirely. Australian company (Intellisys Core Pty Ltd, Queensland), data hosted in AWS Sydney with one isolated database schema per practice, Privacy Act-aligned compliance posture, GST-compliant invoicing, and Medicare, DVA and health-fund claiming modelled end to end.
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.
