NDIS practice management · Built in Australia

Every shift, note and claim in one place.

Ability360 runs the operational side of an NDIS business — participants, rostering, case notes, worker compliance and bulk claiming — so your team stops rebuilding the same spreadsheet every week.

The platform

Eight modules that already know how the NDIS works

Not a generic CRM with disability labels bolted on. Support categories, price guide line items, service agreements and worker screening are first-class objects.

See the week before it goes wrong

One screen for the things that cost money when they slip: unfilled shifts, notes not written, plans running down, claims sitting in draft.

  • Live coverage — unfilled shifts surface the moment a worker declines.
  • Plan burn-down — participants tracking over or under budget, flagged early.
  • Revenue at risk — delivered hours with no claim line behind them.

The whole participant, not a contact record

Plan dates, budgets by support category, goals, service agreement, consents, risk assessments and the full note history on one profile.

  • Budget tracking — allocated, delivered and remaining per category.
  • Service agreements — generated from the plan, e-signed, versioned.
  • Goals and outcomes — linked to the notes that evidence them.

Rostering that checks itself

Drag a shift and Ability360 checks the worker's screening clearance, their availability, the participant's preferences and the award rules before it lets you publish.

  • Conflict warnings — double bookings, expired clearances, over-hours.
  • Publish to the worker app — accept, decline, clock in with geolocation.
  • Recurring patterns — SIL rotations built once, rolled forward.

Notes written on the shift, not on Sunday night

The worker app opens the note pre-filled with the participant, the shift, the goals and the time. Support workers finish it before they leave.

  • Goal-linked — every note attaches to the outcome it evidences.
  • Incident escalation — flag a note and it opens an incident record.
  • Locked and audited — edits keep a full trail for the auditor.

Compliance that nags the right person

Worker screening, first aid, police checks, right-to-work, vehicle insurance, training modules — each with an expiry that chases the worker, then the manager.

  • Expiry automation — reminders at 60, 30 and 7 days.
  • Roster lock — a worker with a lapsed clearance can't be scheduled.
  • Onboarding checklist — new worker to first shift, tracked.

From delivered shift to paid claim

Approved shifts become claim lines against the right price guide item, at the right ratio and time-of-day loading. Export the bulk payment request, import the remittance, reconcile the rejections.

  • Price guide built in — updated with each release, per state.
  • Bulk upload file — formatted for the provider portal, validated first.
  • Rejection handling — failed lines returned to a queue with the reason.

One place the auditor can actually be sent

Policies, procedures, participant files, worker files and forms with version history — and an export that assembles the evidence pack for a given practice standard.

  • Version control — who changed a policy, when, and what changed.
  • Acknowledgements — which workers have read which version.
  • Form builder — build an intake or a risk assessment without a developer.

Coordination hours that bill themselves

Track time against coordination line items as you work, keep the provider network per participant, and produce the plan review report from the record you already kept.

  • Time capture — a timer per participant, mapped to the right item.
  • Provider network — who else is engaged, and their agreement status.
  • Plan review pack — goals, progress and spend, generated.

Reporting

The four numbers that decide whether the month worked

Revenue by support category, roster coverage, claim status and hours delivered — updated as shifts are approved, not assembled at the end of the quarter.

Revenue by support category

Rejections are returned to a queue with the portal's reason code attached, so the same error doesn't repeat next fortnight.

Getting started

Live in a fortnight, not a quarter

Onboarding runs as a checklist you can see. Most providers are rostering in week one and claiming from Ability360 in week two.

STEP 01

Import

Participants, workers and active service agreements come across from your spreadsheets or your current system.

STEP 02

Configure

Your roles, permissions, note templates, forms and claim settings — set up with you on a shared call.

STEP 03

Roster

Build the first published week, invite support workers to the app, run it in parallel if you want.

STEP 04

Claim

Generate the first bulk payment request, reconcile the remittance, and switch the old system off.

Compliance

Built by people who have sat through the audit

Ability360 is shaped around the NDIS Practice Standards — incident management, complaints, restrictive practices, worker screening and participant money. When the auditor asks for evidence of a control, the record already exists and can be exported in one pack.
