NDIS Support Provider Bookkeeping & Advisory
NDIS providers are in one of the most chaotic operating environments in Australia. The price guide changes. The reforms keep coming. The audits are brutal. The SCHADS Award is genuinely difficult to interpret. And underneath all of it, you're trying to figure out a simple question: are we actually making money?
Most providers can't answer that. Not because they're not smart — but because their bookkeeper isn't looking at the right things. We are.
For support work agencies who are tired of being told to "watch their numbers" without anyone showing them how.
Worker utilisation tracking — billable hours vs paid hours per support worker, the single most important profitability metric in the sector
SCHADS Award payroll — broken shifts, sleepovers, public holidays, the 24-hour rule — calculated correctly, every cycle
NDIS price guide compliance — we maintain your service catalogue against the current guide, including mid-year updates
Per-participant profitability — knowing which participants are profitable, breakeven, or losing you money
Cash flow timing — plan payments are slow, payroll is weekly — we forecast the gap and help you manage it
Registration support — we walk new providers through NDIS Commission registration end-to-end
Plan management vs self-management vs agency-managed billing — we handle the operational difference between all three
Service agreement structuring — from a financial mechanics perspective — not legal advice
NDIS Portal invoicing — we submit claims directly into the NDIS portal on your behalf — weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. As the government moves toward mandatory registration for all providers, this becomes a non-negotiable operational function. We’re already doing it.
NDIS registration set-up support — financial records, policies, and supporting documentation structured to meet NDIS Commission requirements before you submit your application
What we handle for NDIS providers
The monthly advisory call
Every month we look at the agency's health: utilisation rate, gross margin per participant, support worker cost as a percentage of revenue, average billable hours per shift, cancellation recovery, and cash position. We talk about who needs more hours, which staff are most profitable, and whether the price guide changes coming next quarter will affect you.
Why NDIS-specific bookkeeping matters right now
The NDIS reforms continue rolling through 2026 and beyond. Providers who don’t understand their own unit economics are vulnerable. Providers who do — and who can prove it in an audit — are positioned to grow as smaller competitors fold.
The upcoming shift to mandatory NDIS registration for all providers is the single biggest change coming to the sector. Every currently unregistered provider will need to go through the Commission’s registration process — including audits, financial governance requirements, and portal compliance. This is not a small administrative task. Providers who start preparing their financial records and systems now will be significantly better positioned than those who scramble when the mandate lands.
We’ve already helped providers through NDIS registration. We know what the Commission looks for, we know what gaps are common, and we know how to structure financial records so an audit doesn’t become a crisis.
This is not the time to have a general bookkeeper guessing at SCHADS interpretation.
