In development

Run the organisation on the same record your workers use.

Rostering, compliance, timesheets, award-based pay and NDIS claiming — sitting on top of the same participant profiles and session records your staff already work from, rather than in a separate system that has to be reconciled with them.

The roster builder, open on the first four days of a week: four supported-living houses down the left — Kambah, Yarralumla, Belconnen and Woden — each listing its residents with a match percentage and a note on their usual pattern, such as "Day program, Mon Wed Fri, 9 to 3". Every day is split into AM, PM and night columns holding the worker rostered on that slot, with unfilled slots flagged in red and slots covered by family or the person themselves marked in grey rather than left blank.

Four houses, ten residents, and who is on for every part of every day — including the slots nobody is being paid for. Fabricated demo organisation.

Why the record sits with the participant

The thing that's good for them turns out to be good for you

CDS gives the participant their own account and lets you connect to it. That sounds like a constraint. In practice it solves three of the most expensive problems a provider has, because the fragmentation everyone complains about costs you at least as much as it costs them.

On day one

The profile is already written

You're rarely the first service in someone's life. When you connect, the profile is already there — built up by the participant, their family and everyone else supporting them. You're not the fourth organisation to ask the same intake questions and get a thinner answer each time.

When someone leaves

Knowledge outlasts your staff

Sector turnover is brutal, and what a good worker knew usually walks out with them. Here it was written into the participant's record as they went, so the person replacing them starts informed instead of starting again.

When you're audited

Consent is evidence, not filing

Every connection is granted explicitly by the participant and time-stamped, and every action taken on their behalf is logged. The record you'd have to assemble for a Practice Standards audit is a by-product of how the system works, rather than a folder somebody has to maintain.

And the part that sounds like a risk: a participant can disconnect you at any time. That is genuinely their call — but the work you did stays in their record and remains claimable, and in practice a person who trusts the system with their information is a person whose file is worth reading. A record people actually engage with is better data to work from than one they've never seen.

Rostering

Filling shifts is the easy half. Filling them legally is the hard half.

Anyone can put a name in a slot. The work is making sure that person is qualified, available, rested, not in overtime, and actually suited to the participant they're being sent to.

1 · Who works for you

Worker profiles

Employment details, award classification, and qualifications with expiry dates tracked — so a lapsed certificate surfaces before it becomes an audit finding rather than after.

2 · Who's available

Availability & leave

Worker availability patterns and leave requests, with leave balances tracked as a running ledger rather than a number somebody maintains by hand.

3 · Building the roster

Shifts & templates

Recurring shifts, templates, bulk import and a cost preview before you publish, so you see what a roster costs while you can still change it.

4 · Around the participant

Participant-centred rosters

Supported independent living (SIL) houses and participant-based shift slots, so the roster is built around the person's week and their support ratios rather than around staff convenience.

5 · Before it publishes

Compliance checks

Rest periods between shifts, skill matching, and qualification currency validated as the roster is built — with an audit trail of what was checked and when.

6 · What actually happened

Time & attendance

Clock in and out with location capture, timesheets built from real events, and exceptions raised where the shift as worked doesn't match the shift as planned.

Payroll & claiming

From the shift that happened to the money, both directions

A completed shift is two financial events at once: something you owe a worker, and something you claim from a plan. Most organisations run those through separate systems and reconcile them afterwards. Here they come from the same record.

You claim from the plan

Service delivery report → batch → reconcile

One record, reconciledNo re-entry, nothing to match up later
Service delivery records generated from timesheets for NDIS claiming: seven rows, each with participant, worker, date and time, the NDIS support item code and its hourly rate, and a status — one unbillable, one disputed, then reconciled, claimed, pending and two ready. A banner above explains that the unbillable one needs the service agreement fixed, the shift corrected, or a write-off; a second banner reports that the two ready records have been ticked and are eligible for batching, with a Create Batch button showing the count.

Every delivered shift as a claimable line, each with its support item and status — the ready ones ticked and counted for a claim batch, and the one that can't be billed flagged with the reason rather than silently dropped. Fabricated demo organisation.

  • SCHADS award interpretation (Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services) — penalties, allowances, broken shifts and overtime calculated from the shift as actually worked
  • Pay runs with corrections, and payroll file generation for your banking
  • NDIS claiming — service delivery reports, batching and reconciliation
  • Approved timesheets flow into both pay and claims without re-entry
Your organisation

Roles, boundaries and the words you actually use

Role-based access

Admins, managers, practitioners, support workers and support coordinators each see what their role needs. Support workers complete the forms assigned to them; practitioners assign them and produce the reports.

Your organisation is your own

Every query is scoped to your organisation. Staff reach the participants they're assigned to, and nothing crosses an organisational boundary without a participant having connected you.

Call people what you call them

Customers, clients, participants — set the terminology once and the interface uses your words throughout, while keeping formal NDIS language where it legally belongs.
