Welcome to Care Connect
NDIS Care Management,
Automated
Run a compliant NDIS business without the admin.
One platform for the whole provider — Participants, Rostering, Shifts, Medications, Incidents, Risk, Behaviour, Complaints, Health, HR, Training, Policies, WHS, Compliance, Audit, Finance and Reporting — with AI doing the reading, drafting and cross-checking your team shouldn’t have to.
And the stakeholders outside your organisation — support coordinators, behaviour support practitioners — get their own controlled access to only the participants under their care.
Your support workers write their shift notes by speaking, in any of 50+ languages — translated into clean Australian English, structured into the four NDIS sections, and always confirmed by the worker before it is submitted.
AI drafts. A person decides.
Everything the AI extracts, transcribes, drafts or suggests is put in front of an authorised person for review. Nothing is altered, changed or saved to any participant, staff, compliance or financial record without a human checking it first.
No credit card required. Full platform access for 14 days.
What Care Connect Is
The whole operation, in one system
Care Connect is an NDIS care management and compliance platform for disability support providers. It covers thirty operational departments — from a participant’s first Service Agreement through to the audit pack — so the evidence a provider needs is captured as the work happens, not reconstructed afterwards.
It is built around a simple observation: in most services the information already exists. It can be scattered across spreadsheets, inboxes, paper / computer files and people’s memories — which is exactly where it can fail you at audit, and exactly where a participant’s needs can get missed.
What It Is Built For
Four problems it exists to solve
Support Workers and Paperwork
Support workers came into support work to work for vulnerable people, not forms. Every hour spent re-typing what already happened can be time taken from the participant.
Audits that become projects
When evidence is scattered, an audit becomes weeks of assembly. When it is captured as the work happens, it becomes an export.
Things that quietly expire
Screening checks, certifications, plan end dates and service agreements lapse silently. Noticing late costs participants their continuity of support, and costs the provider its registration.
Knowledge held by one person
Every service has someone who “just knows” how it works. Care Connect puts that into documented workflows, so the service does not just depend on their care team.
The AI
What the AI actually does
Care Connect’s AI reads documents and drafts text. It does not make decisions. Everything it produces is a draft, an extraction, a transcription or a suggestion, put in front of a person who decides.
Reads plans and agreements
Upload a Service Agreement or NDIS Plan and it extracts plan start and end dates, plan manager, support coordinator, funded support categories with their dollar amounts, and the participant’s goals — then suggests how those goals map across the system.
Reads certificates
Upload a worker’s certificate and it extracts the qualification name, issuer, certificate number, issue and expiry dates, then suggests which competency units it covers — including mapping against the HIDPA matrix.
Suggests the roster
“AI Allocate” produces ranked worker-to-shift suggestions with its reasoning shown, weighing participant compatibility, competencies, availability, award-rate cost, travel distance, language and gender preferences, and fatigue limits.
Structures an incident
Write what happened in plain words. It extracts the people, time, type and severity, and an AI Risk Panel suggests a severity rating and recommended immediate actions — so a reportable incident is escalated, not missed at the end of a long shift.
Drafts your policies
Policy drafting works in your organisation’s own configured voice, and complaint intake can be lifted from an uploaded email or letter. An author always edits before anything is published.
Reads your risk register
Upload an existing risk register as a PDF, Word file, spreadsheet or even a photo, and the roles and risks are extracted for review — so moving onto the platform does not mean retyping years of work.
The most-used feature on the platform
Shift Note Helper
A worker taps the Smart Voice microphone and simply describes the shift — speaking in any of 50+ languages. The Helper transcribes and translates to Australian English, then structures it into the four NDIS sections: Shift Description, Barriers, New Skills Learnt and Goals Achieved.
Incident detection flags likely incidents in the narrative and prompts the worker to file an Incident Report — it cannot file one itself. A shift note can also pre-fill compliance forms such as a Seizure Report, Daily Staff Support Sheet or Skin Integrity Assessment.
Every draft must be read, corrected and confirmed before it is submitted. Goal links and the full edit history are retained as audit evidence.
Where the AI stops
Automation with a hard boundary
The review requirement is not advisory. Care, safeguarding, workforce, compliance and financial decisions each rest with an authorised role, and the platform records who approved what, and when — so the reviewer is part of the evidence, not just the outcome.
No AI administers, charts or decides medication outcomes. It cannot approve a dose, change the limit on an as-needed (PRN) medication, or create the record saying a dose was given — that entry belongs to the worker who gave it. It must never judge the 5 Rights, whether a witness is required, or whether a dose is safe to give. Where a prescriber’s chart is involved, people act and people sign.
Every AI suggestion is logged and reviewable in a dedicated AI Suggestion Audit, with confidence thresholds recorded. You can always see what the system proposed, what a person accepted or rejected, and when. For an NDIS audit, that trail matters as much as the decision itself.
The Departments
Thirty departments, six levels
Every department is documented to the same twelve-section structure — purpose, who uses it, where to find it, what is stored, step-by-step instructions, management workflow, compliance requirements, AI functionality, permissions, dependencies, common fixes and routine tasks.

Who Sees What
Access controlled to the individual record
Holding a role lets someone use a page in principle. Record Permission decides whose files actually appear inside it. Care Connect is allocation-based and fail-closed: a person sees a participant only where access has been explicitly granted — never by default.
Support coordinators
External coordinators get limited participant visibility — the people they coordinate, and nothing else. No roster, no staff files, no other participants.
Behaviour support practitioners
Recorded against the participant through the Health Team, alongside the behaviour support plan and any restrictive practice authorisations they oversee.
Plan managers
Held on the participant profile for plan-managed participants, so invoices go to the right payer without exposing anything about the participant’s supports.
Auditors
Internal QA or NDIS Commission reviewers can be granted read-only access to evidence for a defined scope — able to verify, never to alter.
The most sensitive material — the Confidential tab — sits behind a separate, higher permission again. Every grant is recorded, so you can show an auditor not just who had access, but when it was given and by whom. This is how the platform meets NDIS Practice Standard 1 on rights, privacy and dignity.
Built By People Who Use It
Built by a provider, for providers
Care Connect comes from Ambience Care WA, a family-owned disability support provider in Perth. We built it because we were living the problem: brilliant support workers losing hours to paperwork, and compliance that only ever felt under control the week after an audit.
Every department exists because a provider needed it on a real day, with real participants and a real deadline. That is the difference between software written for the sector and software written from inside it.
Role-based from the ground up
Provider admins, operations and roster managers, team leaders, HR, support workers, accounts and payroll, and read-only auditors each see what their role requires.
Runs in the field
Support workers run a whole shift from a phone/devices — accepting shifts, clocking on and off, dictating notes, recording medication, raising incidents and acknowledging policies.
Secure by default
Two-factor authentication is mandatory on every account, and each organisation’s data sits inside its own tenant boundary.
Documented, not improvised
The platform ships with a controlled operations manual covering every department and end-to-end workflow, kept versioned alongside the software.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Care Connect?
An NDIS care management and compliance platform covering thirty operational departments — participants, staff and HR, rostering, shift notes, incidents, medications, risk, complaints, policies, compliance and audit, training and credentials, finance, and data retention — with AI assisting throughout.
Who uses it?
Support workers, team leaders, roster managers, operations managers, provider admins, HR, accounts and payroll, learning and development, and NDIS auditors. Auditors can be granted read-only access to evidence without seeing anything else.
Can support coordinators and other external stakeholders be given access?
Yes. Support coordinators, behaviour support practitioners, plan managers and auditors can each be given their own controlled access. Record Permission is allocation-based and fail-closed, so they see only the participants explicitly granted to them — never the roster, staff files or other participants. The Confidential tab sits behind a separate, higher permission again.
What does the AI actually do?
It extracts details from uploaded Service Agreements, NDIS Plans, certificates and risk registers; transcribes spoken shift notes; structures incident narratives and suggests severity; ranks worker-to-shift allocations with its reasoning shown; and drafts policies in your organisation’s voice. Everything it produces is a draft or suggestion for a person to accept, edit or reject.
What will the AI never do?
With medication, it decides nothing and signs nothing off. It cannot approve a dose, change the limit on an as-needed (PRN) medication, or create the record saying a dose was given — that entry is only ever made by the worker who gave it. It must never judge the 5 Rights, whether a witness is required, or whether a dose is safe to give.
Where a prescriber’s script or chart is uploaded, the AI may help read the details off the document, but a person with medication permissions must confirm every field before that medication becomes active — and the extraction is logged with the model name, timestamp and source document.
Beyond medication, it also cannot publish a policy, commit a roster, or approve a timesheet or invoice on its own.
Can we see what the AI suggested?
Yes. A dedicated AI Suggestion Audit records every suggestion with its confidence threshold, and what a person did with it. That trail forms part of your audit evidence.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Support workers run a whole shift from a phone or tablet — accepting shifts, clocking on and off, writing or dictating notes, recording medication, raising incidents and acknowledging policies.
What languages can our support workers use?
The Shift Note Helper accepts spoken or typed narrative in any of 50+ languages and transcribes and translates it into Australian English, structured into the four NDIS sections. For a workforce where many staff deliver excellent care but find written English slow, this removes a real barrier — without lowering the standard of the written record.
What happens if a worker has no signal?
Notes saved offline queue on the device and flush automatically when the phone reconnects, so a worker in an area with poor coverage is not left unable to record the shift.
Will our staff be notified at all hours?
No. Quiet hours apply to non-critical notifications and are calculated against the participant’s own state or territory, so time zones are handled correctly. Critical notifications still get through.
Does it connect to our accounting system?
Timesheets and invoices are generated from completed shifts and export to Xero and MYOB, with invoice numbers and export timestamps tracked to prevent duplicates.
What happens when the NDIS price guide changes?
When the NDIA publishes a new Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits document — typically around 1 July — you upload the PDF under Settings, NDIS Price Guide. The codes, rates and effective dates load from it, and delivered shifts are then priced against the current guide. No manual rate entry, and no risk of invoicing on last year’s rates.
Does it cover work health and safety?
Yes. WHS spans hazard reports, risk assessments, SWMS, psychosocial hazards, injury, chemicals, fire safety, driving and corrective actions, with a WHS register and dashboard. WHS also appears as a category in the organisational risk register and in policies, and the PPE register evidences WHS readiness with low-stock alerts.
Does it handle behaviour support and restrictive practices?
Yes — HIDPA, behaviour support and restrictive practices is a department in its own right, with behaviour support practitioners recorded against the participant through the Health Team alongside the plan and any authorisations they oversee.
Can we bring our existing records across?
To a large extent, yes. An existing risk register can be uploaded as a PDF, Word file, spreadsheet or photograph and the roles and risks extracted for review. Service Agreements, NDIS Plans and staff certificates are read on upload, so plan dates, funded supports, goals, qualifications and expiry dates come off the documents rather than being retyped.
What happens to records when a participant or worker leaves?
Records are archived rather than deleted. A staff record is retained for audit while the linked login is disabled at the same time, and open timesheets or unsigned shift notes must be resolved first. Records are append-only — archived material stays queryable, which is what NDIS records retention requires.
How secure is participant data?
Two-factor authentication is mandatory on every account. Access runs on two separate layers: role-based access control for what someone can do, and a record-permission layer controlling access to individual confidential participant and HR records. Each organisation’s data sits within its own tenant boundary.
Is our data kept separate from other providers?
Yes. Each organisation’s data sits inside its own tenant boundary, and roles are scoped to that organisation. Cross-tenant functions belong to the platform owner alone and are never a role within your service.
What does it cost?
Current plans and pricing are listed on the subscription plans page. The 14-day trial gives you full platform access with no credit card, so you can price it against your own workload before committing.

If you have an immediate care concern
Care Connect is software for managing records and evidence. It is not a clinical service, an emergency service, or a source of medical advice, and neither is this website or any chat assistant on it.
If a participant is unwell, injured, distressed, agitated, at risk, missing, or is refusing medication, follow your organisation’s own clinical and escalation procedures first. Speak to your supervisor, team leader or the prescriber. Record what happened in Care Connect afterwards — never instead.
In an emergency, call 000.
No AI in Care Connect, and no answer from this website, may be used to decide a dose, judge whether a dose is safe to give, or replace the judgement of a qualified person. Clinical, medical, legal and financial decisions rest with your own authorised staff and advisers.
