The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia has fundamentally transformed how people with disabilities access support services. However, as the scheme has grown it has attracted a lot of bad actors who have been taking advantage of the most vulnerable people in our society.
A recent documentary by ABC Four Corners, Careless, stated that “the number one concern: overcharging and fraud”, estimating losses of $606m in the last financial year. The Australian Crime and Intelligence Commission has even direr statistics, reporting that $1.45bn is being stolen each year by fraudsters and organised crime gangs through tactics including falsified bookings, inflated invoices, or invoices charged through stolen information.
Nabooki Health Bookings for NDIS Service Providers is a comprehensive NDIS management software tool offering a wide array of benefits. More than a simple client management system for streamlining administrative tasks, our NDIS software incorporates features that create a better experience for participants, improve efficiency for disability service providers and protect the NDIS system itself against fraud.
NDIS Software Benefits For Participants
Enhanced Client Experience
Booking software empowers participants by allowing them to book appointments at their convenience. It also provides reminders and real-time access to appointment availability, ensuring that clients receive support when they need it.
Inclusivity and Accessibility
Accessible booking software ensures that people with disabilities can easily use the system, promoting inclusivity and autonomy among participants.
Quality of Service
Features such as check-ins and post-service reviews enable participants to provide feedback on the services they receive. This feedback loop promotes continuous improvement and allows participants to have a voice in shaping their care. This also creates competition among service providers on price and quality of service provided.
Transparency
Nabooki’s booking widgets enable service providers to promote price transparency along with detailed business information to support participants in making informed decisions.
NDIS Software Benefits For Service Providers
Streamlining Administrative Tasks
Booking software reduces the administrative burden on NDIS providers, freeing up more time and resources for direct client care. This enables client service providers to offer more comprehensive and personalised services.
Efficient NDIS Rostering and Scheduling
With real-time scheduling and smart rostering tools, providers can optimise their schedules, reducing gaps in service delivery. Providers can also more efficiently manage client services, improve client outcomes, and increase their overall capacity.
Resource Management
Booking software assists in the effective allocation of resources, ensuring that staff, equipment, and facilities are used efficiently. This leads to cost savings and operational efficiency.
Invoicing and Payments
Automation of invoicing and payment processes minimises the risk of errors and delays, enabling service providers to receive timely payments.
NDIS Compliance and Documentation
Proper management of client records as facilitated by booking software solutions ensures that service providers adhere to NDIS regulations. This promotes trust and reliability in the eyes of the NDIS.

Data-Driven Decision Making
Nabooki’s booking software generates valuable data and analytics that the NDIS can use to make informed decisions, optimise funding allocations, and identify trends and areas for improvement.
