With a $2,500 installation fee and a minimum price of $9,950 per year, charged annually, SupportAbility is best suited to a business ready to invest in its management software.
What Is ShiftCare?
ShiftCare’s NDIS software has extensive workforce, client and NDIS management features for everything from rostering and accounting to funds tracking, invoicing, reporting and compliance. It’s suited to teams of all sizes, from sole traders up to companies with thousands of support workers.

While your admin team will use the web app to manage day-to-day tasks, your frontline staff will benefit from the companion mobile app. They can use it to check everything from shift times and addresses to client plans and allergy details. Plus, they can set their availability via the app, accept jobs, add progress notes, upload expenses and check in and out.
ShiftCare has a 98% positive customer satisfaction ranking. While the app is intuitive and easy to use, there’s also a proactive customer support team ready to help answer any questions you might have. Premium users also have access to a free dedicated account manager when spending $125+ per month.

And with a seven-day free trial, you and your team will be able to thoroughly test ShiftCare’s advanced NDIS management features before you make your first ever payment.
