Before you roster supports the participant cannot pay for.

Your coordinators see every participant’s funding by support category, with what has been spent, what is booked and what will run out. Track NDIA-managed, plan-managed and self-managed plans and other funding sources side by side.

What changes for you

Overspend caught early

Burn-down and forecast show when a budget will run out at the current rostering pattern, and alerts fire before supports are delivered unfunded.

Every funding source in one view

NDIS, private and DVA funding are tracked per participant, so you know which source pays for each support.

Plan changes do not catch you out

Plan end dates and reassessments are tracked, with reminders to update budgets and agreements before the new plan starts.

See where each budget will land before it gets there

For each support category, CompanionAxis adds what has been delivered and invoiced to what is already rostered, and projects the balance at the plan end date. If a participant’s Core budget will run out in March on the current pattern, the coordinator sees it in October and can talk with the participant and their support coordinator while there are still options.

  • Delivered, invoiced and rostered amounts per category
  • Projected balance at plan end
  • Alerts when spending outpaces the plan period
  • Roster changes reflected in the forecast immediately

Questions buyers ask

Do you handle plan-managed and self-managed participants?

Yes. Funding management type is set per participant or support category. NDIA-managed supports are claimed through the bulk payment request file, and plan-managed and self-managed supports are invoiced to the plan manager or participant.

Can we track private and DVA funding?

Yes. Each participant can have several funding sources with their own budgets and rates. Support at Home funding for aged care is coming soon.

What happens when NDIS prices change?

Prices are set by the NDIS Pricing Schedule and Support Catalogue, reviewed through the NDIA’s Annual Pricing Review, with mid-year changes such as the increases from 1 December 2026. Updated price limits are loaded into CompanionAxis, and forecasts and quotes use the new rates from their effective date.
