Strengths and typical gaps
We respect incumbents — this is a buyer's checklist, not a hit piece.
Where Cliniko is strong
- Excellent clinic scheduling and patient-facing booking
- Strong solo and small multi-practitioner practices
- Transparent published pricing
Where teams look elsewhere
- NDIS provider rostering, SIL, and plan budgets are out of scope
- Aged care HCP, SIRS, and residential workflows are not supported
- Disability support coordination and NDIA claiming need another system
- No shared record with in-home support workers on the same client

Why providers switch
Cliniko is the default for clinic-first allied health. HealthOS fits practices that also deliver NDIS-funded therapy in homes or centres, or that share clients with a disability or aged care arm — one record instead of exporting between clinic and provider systems.
