Are You Fully Booked, But Still Losing Margin?

The financial and compliance load on NDIS providers isn’t easing off. Claims are getting rejected for minor errors, SCHaDS payroll rules leave little room for error, and margins keep shrinking even when you’re fully booked. Fix your back office, and the rest gets easier. Befree Elevate is where you find out how.

Cash Flow and Billing

Payment cycles in the NDIS sector are inherently complex. Claims can be rejected over minor technicalities, resetting the payment clock. Support hours delivered in the field don't always sync with billing systems in real time. And payroll timing doesn't always line up neatly with when NDIS funds actually clear.

SCHaDS Payroll Complexity

SCHaDS award rules are notoriously intricate, and even well-run providers can find rate multipliers like sleepover, broken shift, and weekend rates difficult to apply consistently. Worker classification levels require ongoing attention as teams grow. And with award updates issued regularly, staying current with FWO requirements is an ongoing commitment, not a one-off task.

Overhead and Margin Squeeze

A fully booked calendar doesn't always translate to healthy margins. Profitability can vary significantly across participants and programs, and it's not always easy to see where. Travel time, cancellations, and no-shows are a natural part of delivering care, but they add up. And as participant numbers grow, so does the administrative load required to support them.

Leave With a Clear Plan for Your NDIS Business

Befree Elevate is built for outcomes. You’ll walk away with practical frameworks, real insights from providers already solving these problems, and a clear path to tighter compliance and stronger margins.

Our keynote unpacks where the scheme is heading, the challenges providers are facing right now, and where the real opportunities sit for 2026 and beyond.

Speaker

John Munden (Chief Strategy Officer, Cloudoffis)

John Munden has worked with hundreds of Australian practices to navigate the gap between adopting new technology and actually extracting value from it.
He covers how the practices which struggle most with technology are not behind on software. They’re behind on the human infrastructure required to make that software perform. The firms pulling ahead in 2026 haven’t just adopted better tools. They’ve redesigned who operates them, and how.
