NDIS plan management software: invoices, budgets & claims

NDIS plan managers: invoices paid fast, budgets always clear. Check less, pay faster.

Provider invoices pile up in a shared inbox, every line gets checked against the price limits by hand and participants ring to ask what's left in Core. We build plan management systems that capture, check, claim and pay invoices fast. Budgets stay live for participants, nominees and support coordinators. Then we host the lot and look after it.

Looking for NDIS plan management software that keeps up with the invoice pile?

Plan management is a volume game with no room for error. Every invoice has to be opened, keyed in, matched to the right participant and plan, checked against the Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, checked against the budget and the funding period, claimed through the portal, reconciled and paid. Then the provider wants a remittance and the participant wants to know what's left. Most teams do it across a shared inbox, a spreadsheet, the myplace portal, Xero and a lot of copy and paste.

Wollopit builds custom NDIS plan management software around how your team actually works. Invoices get captured from the inbox and queued. Lines are checked against current price limits and live budgets before anyone touches them. Claims go up in bulk, rejections come back flagged and payments go out in one bank file. Participants, nominees and coordinators see their own budgets in a portal instead of ringing you. We connect to the tools you already use and host and maintain it on our own servers.

01The problems

What we hear from NDIS plan managers

Does your NDIS plan management business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most plan managers we talk to have great people doing far too much retyping. It holds together until a price guide update, a plan reassessment or a Monday with 400 invoices in the inbox.

  • The problemInvoices buried in a shared inboxPDFs, photos of paper invoices and emails with no attachment all land in one inbox. Someone sorts them by hand every morning.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole plan management business, on one system.

These are the systems plan managers ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly useful once they're joined up.

Invoice processing

Provider invoices checked and paid fast.

Invoices are pulled from the inbox and provider uploads, read and queued against the right participant and plan. Every line is checked against current price limits, the budget and the funding period before it reaches a person. Your team only handles the ones that need a human.

  • Inbox and provider upload capture
  • Reads provider, ABN, dates and lines
  • Matched to participant and plan
  • Support item and rate checks
  • Over-limit and wrong-item flags
  • Duplicate invoice detection
  • Budget and funding period checks
  • Exceptions queue for your team
  • Participant approval when required
  • Notes and history on every invoice

Claims & reconciliation

Claim in bulk. Know about rejections the same day.

Approved invoices go up as bulk payment requests instead of one at a time. Responses are matched back to every invoice so rejections show up straight away with the reason, ready to fix and resubmit.

  • Bulk payment request files
  • Claims batched by day or run
  • Responses matched to invoices
  • Rejections flagged with reasons
  • Fix and resubmit queue
  • Paid claims ready for payment run
  • Partial payment handling
  • Claim history per participant
  • Ageing claims report
  • Audit trail on every claim

Budgets & funding periods

Every budget live. No more spreadsheet maths.

Budgets update the moment an invoice is approved, broken down by support category and funding period. Burn rate shows who's on track to run short so you can warn them early instead of after the money's gone.

  • Budgets per support category
  • Funding period tracking
  • Committed vs paid vs remaining
  • Burn rate and run-out dates
  • Overspend early warnings
  • Plan start, end and review dates
  • Old plan and new plan handling
  • Stated supports noted
  • Coordinator budget reports
  • Plan review summaries

Participant portal

Participants check their own budget. The phone goes quiet.

Participants, nominees and support coordinators log in to see budgets, invoices, payments and statements. They can approve invoices, upload receipts for reimbursement and message your team without a phone call.

  • Works on any phone
  • Budgets in plain English
  • Invoices and payment status
  • Approve invoices in one tap
  • Reimbursement receipt uploads
  • Monthly statements to download
  • Nominee and coordinator logins
  • Consent controls for who sees what
  • Messages to your team
  • Accessible design and large text

Provider payments & updates

Providers paid in one run and told without asking.

Paid claims roll into a single bank file and every provider gets a remittance the moment the money goes out. Providers have their own portal to upload invoices, check status and keep bank details current.

  • One bank file per payment run
  • Remittances emailed automatically
  • Provider portal for uploads
  • Invoice status without a phone call
  • Bank detail changes verified
  • ABN and GST checks
  • Registered and unregistered providers
  • Payment run approvals
  • Provider directory and notes
  • Time to pay reporting
04How it changes

Before and after

A Monday invoice pile, wolloped.

Here's how one invoice could change. Every plan management business is different, so we map yours first.

Before

  1. Invoice sits unread in the shared inbox until Tuesday
  2. Keyed in by hand and matched to the participant
  3. Rate looked up against the price limits PDF
  4. Budget checked in a spreadsheet that might be wrong
  5. Claimed one at a time in the portal
  6. Provider rings to ask when they'll be paid

After

  1. Invoice captured and queued within minutes
  2. Participant, plan and lines matched automatically
  3. Every line checked against current price limits
  4. Live budget and funding period checked before approval
  5. Claimed in the afternoon bulk batch
  6. Remittance goes to the provider the moment it's paid

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your NDIS plan management business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We sit with your invoice processors, client team and finance to see where invoices slow down and why the phones ring.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: invoice capture, price checks, budgets, claims, payments, portals, access, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually invoice processing first, so the Monday pile shrinks fast.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and update it when NDIS pricing or rules change. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things NDIS plan managers ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can it keep up with NDIS pricing changes?

Yes. We update the support catalogue and price limits when they change, including the 1 July update. Line checks always use the limits that applied on the service date.

What about PACE and funding periods?

We build budgets around how plans are actually released now, with funding periods, categories and stated supports tracked. When the rules shift we update the system so your team isn't working around it.

Can it catch duplicate invoices?

Yes. Every invoice is checked against what's already been processed for that provider and participant, by dates, amounts and lines, before it gets near a claim.

Can participants and coordinators see their budgets?

Yes. Participants, nominees and support coordinators get their own logins with consent controls, so each person only sees what they're allowed to.

We already use Lumary or Brevity. Do we have to switch?

No. If your platform is doing its job we build around it: invoice capture, checks, portals or reporting on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Is participant data kept secure?

Yes. Access is locked down by role, every action is logged and we host and maintain it on our own managed servers with regular updates and backups.

How much does a plan management system cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

We plan it in stages. Invoice capture and checking usually comes first so you get a win early instead of waiting for the whole system.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it, keep it updated and secure and make changes when the NDIS does. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most NDIS plan managers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
