Aged Care & NDIS Software · Australia

5Everything You Need
From visit scheduling to NDIS claims, OneBookPlus replaces the spreadsheets, paper forms, and disconnected tools holding your agency back.
Carers open their phone in the carpark and see today's run — addresses, times, travel allowances, who's next. Tap to start, tap to finish, and the timesheet writes itself.
One visit, one line item, the right rate — locked in at scheduling so the claim is correct before the carer even arrives. NDIS, HCP, DVA, CHSP and private funding all sit side by side.
Every note, edit and status change is stamped with who and when, so when an auditor asks for the last six months of a participant's care, you export a PDF instead of digging through paper.
A carer types the note from the kitchen bench before they leave. If something's gone wrong — a fall, a missed med — flagging it as an incident pings the owner's phone within seconds.
Tick a box on the notes you're happy to share and the daughter in Perth sees them on her phone. Clinical detail stays internal; the reassurance she's looking for goes through.
Drop a carer onto a visit and an SMS lands on their phone with the address, the time, and the participant's name — so you're never the one ringing on a Sunday night to confirm.
One profile holds the NDIS plan number, the funding type, the next of kin, the dog's name, the gate code — all the things a new carer needs in the 30 seconds before knocking.
Hours times rate, GST added, ABN on the bottom — completed visits roll into invoices ready to send to plan managers or self-managed participants. No spreadsheet, no Friday-night admin.

Common questions about care management software for aged care and NDIS providers.
Yes. You can assign NDIS line items, categories, and funding references to every visit. Billing totals are calculated automatically from the hourly rate and actual visit duration, ready for plan manager claims or self-managed invoicing.
Absolutely. OneBookPlus is fully mobile-responsive. Carers can start/complete visits, log progress notes, record vitals, and flag incidents from any smartphone — no app install required.
When a carer flags a note as an incident, they select a severity level and incident type. Owners and admins are immediately notified via in-app notification and SMS, so critical events are never missed.
Yes — each note has a family visibility toggle. You control exactly which notes are shared. Families see a read-only view of selected progress updates, giving them peace of mind without exposing clinical records.
Yes. Our free plan includes client management, visit scheduling, care notes, and basic invoicing — enough for small agencies or sole carers getting started. Upgrade as your team and client base grow.
Dedicated NDIS and aged-care platforms like ShiftCare, Brevity, Visicase and Lumary are built around large-provider workflows — full rostering engines, payroll integrations and bulk plan-manager claim files. They suit established providers with big teams. OneBookPlus is the lighter, more affordable alternative for sole carers and small agencies: visit scheduling, mobile care notes, incident reporting, NDIS line-item billing, family visibility and invoicing in one place, from $0/month. If you outgrow it and need enterprise rostering or automated bulk claiming, a specialist platform may fit better — but most small providers find OneBookPlus covers the day-to-day without the per-seat cost.
An ACAT (Aged Care Assessment Team) assessment is the government assessment that determines a person's eligibility for subsidised aged-care services in Australia, including Home Care Packages and residential care. Providers reference the assessment outcome when setting up a care plan; OneBookPlus stores the funding type and plan details against each client profile.
The Aged Care Quality Standards are eight national standards that aged-care providers in Australia must meet, enforced by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (ACQS Commission) through provider audits. OneBookPlus timestamps and attributes every care note, edit, and incident, so a six-month care history can be exported as an audit-ready PDF on demand.
About the author
Founder & CEO, OneBookPlus
Bishal has over a decade of experience in digital marketing, web development, and small business consulting across Australia. He has worked with aged care providers, NDIS registered organisations, and home care agencies across Australia — helping them digitise visit management, compliance documentation, and participant billing.
Care agencies across Australia face a unique admin challenge. You're coordinating carers across dozens of visits per day, billing against NDIS line items or Home Care Package budgets, documenting progress notes for compliance audits, and keeping families informed — all while trying to deliver quality care. Most agencies cobble together ShiftCare or AlayaCare for rostering, SupportAbility or Lumary for NDIS management, and Xero for invoicing. That's three or more subscriptions with data scattered across systems, manual re-entry at every handoff, and no single source of truth when an auditor walks in.
OneBookPlus brings your entire care operation into one platform. Onboard recipients with their funding details, NDIS reference numbers, and care preferences. Schedule recurring or one-off visits and assign carers based on availability and qualifications — they're notified instantly by SMS. Carers log progress notes, vitals, mood, and incidents from their phone during or after each visit. Every note is timestamped and attributed, creating an audit trail that satisfies the Aged Care Quality Standards and NDIS Practice Standards without extra paperwork. Billing totals calculate automatically from rate and actual visit duration, ready for plan manager claims, self-managed participant invoices, or HCP package reconciliation.
A typical morning for a care coordinator starts at 7:30am. You open OneBookPlus and see 16 visits scheduled across your team of eight carers. Two overnight changes are flagged: one carer called in sick, and a recipient's family requested a time change. You reassign the sick carer's visits from the roster view — the replacement carer gets an SMS with client details and the updated address. By 10am, six visits are marked complete with progress notes attached. One carer flagged an incident — a participant had a fall. You see the alert immediately, review the severity level and actions taken, and the family portal already shows a summary for the participant's daughter in Melbourne. At the end of the week, you generate NDIS invoices for all completed visits — line items, categories, and participant references are pre-filled from the visit data.
Connect your agency's bank account via CDR Open Banking and OneBookPlus pulls in transactions daily. Government funding deposits from the NDIA, DVA, or Home Care Package providers are automatically identified and matched against outstanding invoices. Carer wage payments are categorised as labour costs. Our AI categorisation engine learns your recurring patterns: vehicle allowances, PPE purchases, insurance premiums, and office rent are all classified consistently over time. When NDIS audit season arrives, you can export a complete financial trail alongside your care documentation. BAS summaries are generated in one click — GST collected on private-pay invoices and GST credits on business purchases are already reconciled.
Sign up free — no credit card, no lock-in contract. Select “Aged Care / NDIS” as your business type and OneBookPlus pre-configures your account with care-specific fields: funding types, NDIS categories, visit types, and progress note templates. Import your existing participant list and carer roster via CSV from ShiftCare, AlayaCare, or a spreadsheet. Connect your bank account through the secure Open Banking flow. Within your first week you'll have visits scheduled, carers receiving SMS notifications, and your first batch of NDIS invoices generated. Most small agencies complete the transition over a single weekend without disrupting their care schedule.

Real-world scenario
How a Melbourne care coordinator uses OneBookPlus on a typical Wednesday
Sarah opens her dashboard at 7:30am and sees 14 visits scheduled across her team of 6 carers. Two visits were added yesterday — the assigned carers already received SMS notifications with client details and times.
She notices a visit conflict: two visits overlap for the same carer. She reassigns one to another available team member directly from the roster view. The new carer gets an instant SMS.
By 10am, three visits are already marked as completed. One carer flagged an incident — a client had a fall. Sarah sees the alert immediately in her notifications and reviews the incident note: severity, actions taken, and who was informed. The client's family has been updated via the family portal.
At lunch, Sarah reviews the week's billing. Completed NDIS visits have auto-calculated totals from the hourly rate and actual duration. She generates invoices for the plan manager with one click — line items, categories, and participant references are already attached.
End of day: 12 of 14 visits completed, 2 cancelled with documented reasons. All notes are logged, compliance records are up to date, and tomorrow's roster is confirmed.
