NDIS software for Victoria providers
Victorian NDIS providers work with national NDIS rules plus Victoria's own arrangements: worker screening through the Victorian Government, the Victorian Senior Practitioner for restrictive practices, and Victorian public holidays such as Melbourne Cup Day in the pay run.
What's different about running NDIS supports in Victoria
Worker screening: the Victorian Government's NDIS worker screening unit
Victorian workers apply for the NDIS Worker Screening Check through the Victorian Government's online service. The check is separate from a Victorian Working with Children Check — a worker supporting children may need both.
The clearance is national and lasts five years. Registered providers must confirm it in the NDIS Worker Screening Database before a worker starts a risk-assessed role, and keep records of it.
NDIS Worker Screening Check — Victorian GovernmentPricing: national limits, remote loadings
There are no state-specific NDIS prices. National price limits apply in metropolitan and regional areas (Modified Monash Model MM 1–5). Supports delivered in MM 6 (remote) or MM 7 (very remote) areas use the higher remote and very remote limits. Use where the support is delivered, not the participant's home address.
No towns in Victoria are on the 2026–27pricing schedule's isolated towns list, so the Modified Monash Model category alone decides which limit applies. Look up an address's category in the Health Workforce Locator.

Work on a public holiday attracts SCHADS Award public holiday rates, and many NDIS supports have a public holiday price limit. Which days count depends on the holidays declared in Victoria:
- Labour Day is the second Monday in March.
- Melbourne Cup Day (first Tuesday in November) is a public holiday across Victoria, unless a regional council has substituted a different local holiday.
- The Friday before the AFL Grand Final is a public holiday.
Dates change each year — check the official list before you roster.
Restrictive practices authorisation
The NDIS Commission regulates behaviour support, but each state and territory decides how regulated restrictive practices are authorised. In Victoria, regulated restrictive practices are authorised under the Disability Act 2006 by an Authorised Program Officer (APO) in the provider. Some practices — including physical and mechanical restraint and seclusion — also need approval from the Victorian Senior Practitioner.
One system for Victoria providers
Rostering with local public holidays
Set public holidays for Victoria — and for individual sites, for local show days — so shifts on those days carry the right SCHADS penalty rates and NDIS public holiday prices.
RosteringWorker screening and credential tracking
Track every worker's NDIS Worker Screening clearance, first aid, licences and other credentials, with alerts before they expire and a warning on the roster if one has lapsed.
Recruitment & onboardingIncidents and Commission deadlines
Workers report incidents from the app. Reportable incidents are flagged and the 24-hour and 5-business-day NDIS Commission deadlines are tracked in one queue.
Incident managementRestrictive practices register
Keep each regulated restrictive practice next to its behaviour support plan, with every use logged — ready for the authorisation process in Victoria.

Billing lines sit on the shift with the support item and price from your price guide. Create NDIA bulk claim files and invoice plan managers and self-managed participants.
