Before you start

Check these items before changing participant, billing or compliance records.

  • Use files that belong to the participant or organisation record you are updating.
  • Name files clearly before upload if possible.
  • Do not upload unrelated sensitive information.

Steps

Follow this workflow.

1

Choose participant or organisation document area

Use the participant Documents tab for participant specific files. Use Documents for organisation level document work if your role allows it.

2

Upload the file

Choose upload, select the file and add a category such as NDIS plan, report, consent, invoice evidence or provider document.

3

Add useful metadata

Add a clear name, description and participant link. For plan PDFs, use the plan upload workflow when you want AI extraction.

4

Review access and sensitivity

Check that the file should be visible to users with participant access. Keep private or sensitive files in the right category.

5

Use documents in follow up work

Reference documents from case notes, plan reviews, service agreements or compliance work when they support the participant record.

Expected outcome

Documents are organised, linked to the correct participant and easy to retrieve when evidence is needed.
