NDIS Software Readiness Checklist
Define your requirements, ownership and safeguards before speaking with vendors.
Map the current workflow
2-3 hoursDocument how referrals, service agreements, rostering, notes, incidents, claims and reporting move through the organisation today. Record delays, duplicate entry and manual handoffs.
Set measurable outcomes
1 hourChoose three to five outcomes such as fewer missed notes, faster invoice preparation, clearer worker availability or stronger audit evidence. Give each outcome an owner and baseline.
Define mandatory controls
1-2 hoursList role permissions, audit logs, multifactor authentication, backups, export capability, retention needs and any Australian data-hosting requirements that are mandatory for your organisation.
Build a representative test script
2 hoursCreate realistic, de-identified scenarios for each key role. Include exceptions such as cancelled shifts, rejected claims, incidents and plan changes.
Agree on decision governance
1 hourName the decision maker, implementation owner, privacy reviewer and frontline representatives. Set the budget, timeline and evidence required before approval.
