Software Development for NDIS and Care Providers

NDIS & care providers

Custom software for NDIS and care providers, built by a team that already runs one

Rostering, participant records, incidents, claiming, evidence for audit — when the off-the-shelf tools do not fit how your organisation actually works, we design and build the system that does.

Who this is for

Registered NDIS providers, Supported Independent Living services, allied health practices, aged and community care organisations — generally those past the point where a spreadsheet and a shared drive can hold everything together.

The problems we are usually called about

  • Evidence is assembled, not captured. Audit preparation becomes a scramble because the proof lives in people's inboxes rather than in a system.
  • Rostering and payroll disagree. Shifts, travel, cancellations and award interpretation are reconciled by hand every fortnight.
  • Incidents are recorded twice. Once on paper or in a form, again in whatever system the Commission reporting comes from.
  • Support workers are asked to use tools built for office staff. The app is unusable in a car, in a home, or with poor reception.
  • Two or three systems hold the same participant. None of them agrees, and no one is sure which is right.
  • Growth broke the process. What worked at 15 participants does not work at 150.

What we build

  • Participant and client management, shaped around your service model
  • Rostering and scheduling, including travel, availability and skills matching
  • Mobile apps for support workers — offline-tolerant, and usable one-handed
  • Incident and complaint workflows with the evidence trail attached
  • Claiming and billing integrations
  • Reporting that produces what an auditor asks for, not what a dashboard vendor thought you needed
  • Integration between systems you already have and are not replacing

Sometimes the answer is not a custom build

If what you need is compliance and operations software that already exists, we will say so — and point you at Ausvanta, our own platform for NDIS providers. A custom build is the right answer when your service model, your integrations or your scale genuinely do not fit a product. It is an expensive answer to a problem you do not have.

Why this sector, and why us

Cognify designed, built and operates Ausvanta, a compliance and operations platform used by Australian NDIS providers. It covers rostering, GPS time tracking, incident management, claiming and audit evidence, and it is hosted in Australia.

That matters for a reason beyond credentials. Running a live product in a regulated sector means we have already dealt with the parts that are easy to underestimate: what an auditor actually accepts as evidence, what a support worker will and will not do on a phone at a participant's home, and what happens to a roster when someone calls in sick at 6am.

When we scope your build, that experience is what the estimate is based on — not an optimistic guess.

How an engagement runs

Workflow review → solution outline → fixed scope → build → QA → launch → support. You see the outline before committing to anything, and the scope is fixed before development starts.

A note on funding claims

We do not make NDIS funding decisions and cannot guarantee any particular system will be funded. What we can do is provide the scope, quotation and technical detail a provider or their advisers need in order to make that assessment.

Start with the process, not the software

Describe the workflow costing you the most time. We will send back a practical solution outline, a suggested scope and an indicative delivery plan within two business days — no obligation, and no requirement to commit to a build.
