Define the service before buying the tools
Write down who you intend to support, which services you are qualified and equipped to deliver, and how you will handle work outside that scope. Identify the clinical, operational and business advice you need before taking on participants.
Build a practical launch checklist
- Business structure, tax, insurance and professional advice.
- Applicable provider registration and qualification requirements.
- Service agreements, prices and participant communication.
- Privacy, records, consent and staff access.
- Complaints, incidents, conflicts of interest and escalation.
- Supervision, workload and continuity when someone is away.
- Billing review, reconciliation and financial controls.
These are areas to resolve, not a certification checklist. Requirements depend on the service and circumstances. Use the NDIS Commission’s registration guidance and relevant advisers for the current position.
Run one fictional participant journey
Before launch, walk through enquiry, consent, agreement, first contact, case note, follow-up and billing. Check who owns each action and what happens when information is missing. Resolve those gaps before real participant information enters the process.
Choose software after the workflow is clear
Compare records, phone use, team permissions, pricing, support and exports. Avoid buying a broad feature list that your team has not tested. Keep setup costs and working capital separate from an optimistic revenue forecast.
