Core Practice
Newer Australian cloud platform aimed at growing practices and groups.

In Australia: HICAPS-integrated.
Who it’s for
Growing Australian practices and small groups that want cloud and modern patient-facing tools.
What Core Practice costs
Core Practice does not publish a price. You have to request a quote, which means you cannot budget or compare before speaking to a salesperson. No figure published.
We do not repeat third-party price estimates for quote-only vendors. Several widely republished figures in this category turned out to belong to a different product — see how we compare.

“Not stated” means the vendor does not say either way on its public site. We do not infer capability that isn’t documented.
What it does well
- Cloud-native with the patient-facing layer — booking, forms, messaging — built in rather than bolted on.
- Built for multi-site reporting from the start, which suits a practice planning to grow.
- Modern interface, which matters more than buyers expect for front-desk training time.
Where it falls short
- No published pricing.
- Smallest installed base of the Australian systems here, so the peer network is thin.
- Imaging relies on integration rather than a native module.
Compare Core Practice against…

- Core Practice vs Dental4Windows — Desktop heritage against cloud-native
- Core Practice vs CareStack — American all-in-one against Australian cloud
- Core Practice vs Principle — AI-forward against cloud-native, both Australian-built
Next step
Prices and features move. Before you commit, confirm the current figure with Core Practice directly, and ask specifically what is not in the base price — that is where budgets slip in this category.
