Route planning and invoicing for NDIS support workers
NDIS support workers and sole-trader providers visit multiple participants each day — often across wide service areas. Reliable arrival times matter because participants plan their entire day around your visit. DayRoute helps you plan efficient routes, record travel for reimbursement, and create invoices that align with NDIS line items. Built for Australian disability support professionals.
Common challenges for ndis support businesses
Participants need reliable arrival times
Being late disrupts a participant's routine and can cause real distress. Accurate ETAs and 'on my way' notifications build trust and reduce anxiety.
Travel time and kilometres need to be recorded for claims
NDIS travel claims require accurate records. Estimating from memory or Google Maps after the fact is inaccurate and time-consuming.
Invoicing to plan managers and NDIA requires specific formats
NDIS invoices need line item numbers, correct support categories, and participant references. Generic invoice tools don't support this.
