As an NDIS provider, there is a lot you need to do to stay compliant with Australian rules and regulations. From service agreements, invoicing and incident reporting to making claims and records keeping, you are responsible for tracking and managing multiple aspects of your business. For example, an NDIS claim should include the right participant, correct rate, exact support provided along with line item and correct date. While all this sounds like you’ll be buried in paperwork, CTARS makes this easy for you by tracking all your day-to-day activities in one central, cloud-based dashboard. This means, no manual paperwork, no spending hours on processes and more time to look after the participants who are depending on you. #ndiscsoftware Follow us on: https://lnkd.in/ge4BSE_Q
