Every NDIS system can roster a shift. Can yours prove the maths to an auditor?

CareVisor is the NDIS Operating System that logs the SCHADS calculation behind every shift, blocks an over-budget roster before it happens, and hands you a Fair Work exposure report you can actually show. One system instead of four.

What is CareVisor?

CareVisor is an NDIS Operating System that replaces four separate tools with one. It logs the SCHADS pay calculation on every shift, hard-blocks any roster that would push a participant over their plan budget, and produces a written Fair Work exposure report as standard. It is built for NDIS providers who carry audit risk personally.

Blind maths is not a defence

Open the tool you roster in right now. Pick any Sunday shift. Can it show you the exact order the pay was worked out? Base rate, then casual loading, then penalty rates, in that sequence? If it cannot, it did the maths blind. And a Fair Work claim under section 545 does not accept blind maths as a defence.

You are comparing systems because the one you have got has gaps. Most of them roster and bill fine. The gap shows up later, in the audit, when someone asks you to produce evidence you were never able to record in the first place.

Here is what closes that gap.

What closes the gap

Four things your current stack cannot evidence

The SCHADS calculation, logged on every shift

CareVisor records the SCHADS pay calculation, in order, for each shift you roster. So you can produce the exact base-rate, loading and penalty sequence for any shift on any date. When a back-pay claim lands, or an auditor asks, you show the record. You do not spend three weeks reconstructing six years of payroll from memory and hoping the numbers hold.

A budget block, not a budget warning

When a roster would push a participant past their plan budget, CareVisor stops it. Not a yellow warning you click through at 6pm on a Friday. A hard block at the point you build the shift. The overspend cannot happen, because the system will not let you create it. You stop finding out about blowouts at claim time, when the money is already spent and unrecoverable.

Your Fair Work exposure, in dollars, before Fair Work sees it

A written Payroll Exposure Report is a standard part of the platform, not a paid extra. You see your SCHADS underpayment risk as a number, in dollars, while it is still a $4,000 problem you can fix. Not a six-figure one you find out about after a claim is filed and the interest has been running.

Four tools collapsed into one

Right now your rostering, your payroll logic, your participant budgets and your compliance records probably live in four separate tools that were never built to talk to each other. Every hand-off between them is a re-keyed number, and every re-keyed number is a place a finding can hide. CareVisor holds all of it in one system, so those gaps between tools, where most audit findings actually live, close.

Why it is worth the money

One SCHADS underpayment finding is not a fine. It is back-pay across every affected worker, every affected shift, reaching back up to six years, plus interest. Set a subscription against that and it is a rounding error.

Pricing runs from Starter for a small operation up to Premium for large providers, and scales with the number of participants you support, so it fits where you actually are today.

You are not buying software

You are buying the evidence you will need on the day someone asks you to produce it.

Built by operators

Measured against the real standard

CareVisor was not built by an agency writing about NDIS from the outside. It was built by people who have run NDIS operations and carried the audit risk personally. The rules it is built around are the specific ones your audit is measured against, because that is the standard you will be held to.

01

The SCHADS Award 2010. The pay calculation logged on every shift is built to the award your disability support work is covered by.

02

Section 545 of the Fair Work Act 2009. The provision a back-pay claim is brought under, and the reason a recorded calculation matters more than a plausible one.

03

The NDIS Practice Standards. The standard your registration and audit are assessed against.

See it on your own roster first

You do not have to take any of this on trust. Run CareVisor against your own operation for 7 days. Put a real Sunday shift through it. Watch it log the SCHADS calculation. Try to build an over-budget roster and watch it stop you. Read your own exposure report, on your own numbers.

The smart move was never switching systems on a promise. It is seeing the evidence first, on your own operation, before your auditor is the one asking for it.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on SCHADS evidence, audits and what it costs.

How is CareVisor different from the rostering and billing software I already use?
CareVisor is an operating system, not a single-purpose tool. A rostering product schedules shifts; CareVisor also logs the SCHADS calculation behind each one, blocks a roster the moment it would push a participant over budget, and produces a Fair Work exposure report. It replaces four separate tools, rostering, payroll logic, participant budgets and compliance records, with one system that keeps them connected.
Will CareVisor help me pass an NDIS audit?
CareVisor is built to keep you audit-ready by holding the evidence an auditor asks for. It records the SCHADS pay calculation for every shift, tracks participant spend against plan limits, and stores compliance records in one place. It will not sit the audit for you, but it means you produce the evidence on request instead of reconstructing it under pressure.
How does CareVisor handle SCHADS pay?
CareVisor calculates and logs SCHADS pay in the correct order on every shift: base rate, then casual loading, then penalty rates. Each calculation is recorded so you can show the exact sequence for any shift on any date. It is built to the SCHADS Award 2010, so a back-pay claim or audit query is answered with a record, not a three-week payroll reconstruction.
How much does CareVisor cost, and is there a lock-in contract?
No lock-in. Monthly billing, cancel any time. If you leave, we will export your data in a standard format at no cost. Plans scale with the number of participants you support, from a small operation through to larger providers, so see the pricing page for current plans and rates. Set against the back-pay from a single SCHADS finding, which can reach back up to six years of shifts, the subscription is a small fixed cost.
Can I try CareVisor before I commit?
Yes. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial, and no credit card is required. You get a fully-loaded test environment with sample data, so you can put a real Sunday shift through it, watch it log the SCHADS calculation and read your own exposure report without touching your live operations.
