Zanda review: Power Diary grown up, assessed
Zanda — Power Diary until late 2024 — pairs approachable pricing with strong client communications. A fair review asks what the rebrand-era product holds for bigger clinics.
What Zanda does well
Zanda (rebranded from Power Diary in late 2024) is a cloud practice management system for allied health, priced per practitioner, with strong communications features and built-in Medicare, DVA and NDIS billing.
Strong client communications — SMS, forms, sequences. Medicare, DVA and NDIS billing built in. Accessible entry pricing for small clinics.
What buyers should weigh
Per-practitioner pricing scales linearly with headcount. Larger clinics should test reporting, role granularity and multi-location handling against their needs. Clinical-grade audit posture (immutable histories, record-level permissions) is an area to compare.
The bottom line
Zanda's core strengths are real: communication sequences, forms, Medicare/DVA/NDIS billing built in, and an entry price small clinics can say yes to. Verify three things as headcount grows: what per-practitioner pricing totals at your size in three years; whether reporting and role granularity match a multi-practitioner, multi-location reality; and how the audit story holds for clinical-governance scrutiny — who changed what, when, and can history be quietly edited? Those are precisely the pressures Intellicore is engineered for, which makes it the natural next comparison.

Common questions
What does migrating from Zanda involve?
We migrate patients, appointments, notes and billing history from Zanda/Power Diary, map communication templates, and verify counts before go-live. 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.
