5Everything You Need
From visit scheduling to NDIS claims, OneBookPlus replaces the spreadsheets, paper forms, and disconnected tools holding your agency back.
Carers open their phone in the carpark and see today's run, addresses, times, travel allowances, who's next. Tap to start, tap to finish, and the timesheet writes itself.
One visit, one line item, the right rate, locked in at scheduling so the claim is correct before the carer even arrives. NDIS, HCP, DVA, CHSP and private funding all sit side by side.
Every note, edit and status change is stamped with who and when, so when an auditor asks for the last six months of a participant's care, you export a PDF instead of digging through paper.
A carer types the note from the kitchen bench before they leave. If something's gone wrong, a fall, a missed med, flagging it as an incident pings the owner's phone within seconds.
Tick a box on the notes you're happy to share and the daughter in Perth sees them on her phone. Clinical detail stays internal; the reassurance she's looking for goes through.
Drop a carer onto a visit and an SMS lands on their phone with the address, the time, and the participant's name, so you're never the one ringing on a Sunday night to confirm.
One profile holds the NDIS plan number, the funding type, the next of kin, the dog's name, the gate code, all the things a new carer needs in the 30 seconds before knocking.
Hours times rate, GST added, ABN on the bottom, completed visits roll into invoices ready to send to plan managers or self-managed participants. No spreadsheet, no Friday-night admin.

Website included
Every paid plan includes a full website, hosted by us, with nothing extra to buy and no separate builder: your site, its booking page and the tools behind them sit on one plan. The Free plan keeps the booking page and does not have the website.
The AI drafts every page from your own answers about your care work, not from your business name, and it does not invent claims. Every page is laid out for a phone as well as a desk. In the Website Studio you edit any section in place, add text, lists and buttons inside it, choose how many cards sit across, and change the look, which keeps your words, your photos and the spacing you set. The booking page is built in and the site's Book buttons go to it. Your first AI build is included with the plan. A later rebuild runs on AI Companion credits, and one that starts fresh replaces your pages, saving a restore point in History first.
A discharge planner or anxious family submits a new-client referral at 9pm, name, funding type (HCP, NDIS or private) and start date land in your dashboard, ready for the morning intake call.
Personal care from $72/hr (SCHADS). Overnight active assist $1,100/shift. A customer sees the price before they book.
The AI writes your services and the area you cover from your answers, so when someone searches 'home care provider in [suburb]' there is a page that says what you do and where.
No card needed to start.

All three sites were drafted by the AI from the owner's answers, our own site included. It picks one of eight heading and body type pairings and how the cards sit (a fine line, a bold outline, a soft lift or no card), so a plumber's site, a driving school's and ours do not come out alike. Switch the view to see each one on a desktop, a tablet and a phone, click any screenshot to see it full size, or open the live site in a new tab. The plumber and the driving school are our demo businesses, not customers.

Example walkthrough
An illustrative walkthrough of a typical home-care coordination day
You open the dashboard at 7:30am and see 14 visits scheduled across a team of six carers. Two visits were added yesterday; the assigned carers have already received SMS notifications with client details and times.
You notice a conflict: two visits overlap for the same carer. You reassign one to another available team member directly from the roster view, and the new carer gets an instant SMS.
By 10am, three visits are marked complete. A carer flags an incident on a visit; the alert lands in your notifications and you review the note: severity, actions taken, and who was informed. The client's family has been updated via the family portal.
At lunch, you review the week's billing. Completed NDIS visits have auto-calculated totals from the hourly rate and actual duration. You generate invoices for the plan manager in one click, with line items, categories, and participant references already attached.
End of day: 12 of 14 visits completed, two cancelled with documented reasons. All notes are logged, the compliance records are up to date, and tomorrow's roster is confirmed.

An illustrated day, not real customer data. Scroll through it from morning to 5pm: the AI receptionist answers and books a missed call, the work runs from the app, the GST invoice is sent on the spot, payment lands and the books balance themselves, a review invite is queued for the next daily run, and the day closes with the ledger already written.

Common questions about care management software for aged care and NDIS providers.
Yes. You can assign NDIS line items, categories, and funding references to every visit. Billing totals are calculated automatically from the hourly rate and actual visit duration, ready for plan manager claims or self-managed invoicing.
Absolutely. OneBookPlus is fully mobile-responsive. Carers can start/complete visits, log progress notes, record vitals, and flag incidents from any smartphone, no app install required.
When a carer flags a note as an incident, they select a severity level and incident type. Owners and admins are immediately notified via in-app notification and SMS, so critical events are never missed.
Yes, each note has a family visibility toggle. You control exactly which notes are shared. Families see a read-only view of selected progress updates, giving them peace of mind without exposing clinical records.
Yes. Our free plan includes client management, visit scheduling, care notes, and basic invoicing, enough for small agencies or sole carers getting started. Upgrade as your team and client base grow.
Payroll is the Rostering & Payroll add-on, $29/month on top of your plan with a 14 day trial. It is not part of any base plan. It handles rosters and timesheets, works out pay with SCHADS penalty rates, PAYG withholding to the ATO Schedule 1 coefficients, superannuation and leave accrual, then produces payslips and an ABA bank file for paying staff. It does not lodge Single Touch Payroll pay events to the ATO, so you still report each pay run through STP-enabled software. Super is calculated and recorded with quarterly due dates and a mark-as-paid screen; it is not remitted to funds for you.
Dedicated NDIS and aged-care platforms like ShiftCare, Brevity, Visicase and Lumary are built around large-provider workflows, full rostering engines, payroll integrations and bulk plan-manager claim files. They suit established providers with big teams. OneBookPlus is the lighter, more affordable alternative for sole carers and small agencies: visit scheduling, mobile care notes, incident reporting, NDIS line-item billing, family visibility and invoicing in one place, from $0/month. If you outgrow it and need enterprise rostering or automated bulk claiming, a specialist platform may fit better, but most small providers find OneBookPlus covers the day-to-day without the per-seat cost.
An ACAT (Aged Care Assessment Team) assessment is the government assessment that determines a person's eligibility for subsidised aged-care services in Australia, including Home Care Packages and residential care. Providers reference the assessment outcome when setting up a care plan; OneBookPlus stores the funding type and plan details against each client profile.
The Aged Care Quality Standards are eight national standards that aged-care providers in Australia must meet, enforced by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (ACQS Commission) through provider audits. OneBookPlus timestamps and attributes every care note, edit, and incident, so a six-month care history can be exported as an audit-ready PDF on demand.

Founder & CEO, OneBookPlus

Read the founder bioHow this page was researched
The compliance and licensing statements above are taken from the bodies this page links to, including the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission, DVA and the Fair Work Commission, so you can read the rule rather than take our word for it. Plan prices come from the OneBookPlus price registry, so the page and the checkout cannot disagree. Everything said about OneBookPlus describes what the product does today, and the page says so where it does not do something.
Care agencies across Australia face a unique admin challenge. You're coordinating carers across dozens of visits per day, billing against NDIS line items or Home Care Package budgets, documenting progress notes for compliance audits, and keeping families informed, all while trying to deliver quality care. Most agencies cobble together ShiftCare or AlayaCare for rostering, SupportAbility or Lumary for NDIS management, and Xero for invoicing. That's three or more subscriptions with data scattered across systems, manual re-entry at every handoff, and no single source of truth when an auditor walks in.
OneBookPlus brings your entire care operation into one platform. Onboard recipients with their funding details, NDIS reference numbers, and care preferences. Schedule recurring or one-off visits and assign carers based on availability and qualifications. They're notified instantly by SMS. Carers log progress notes, vitals, mood, and incidents from their phone during or after each visit. Every note is timestamped and attributed, creating an audit trail that satisfies the Aged Care Quality Standards and NDIS Practice Standards without extra paperwork. Billing totals calculate automatically from rate and actual visit duration, ready for plan manager claims, self-managed participant invoices, or HCP package reconciliation.
A typical morning for a care coordinator starts at 7:30am. You open OneBookPlus and see 16 visits scheduled across your team of eight carers. Two overnight changes are flagged: one carer called in sick, and a recipient's family requested a time change. You reassign the sick carer's visits from the roster view. The replacement carer gets an SMS with client details and the updated address. By 10am, six visits are marked complete with progress notes attached. One carer flagged an incident: a participant had a fall. You see the alert immediately, review the severity level and actions taken, and the family portal already shows a summary for the participant's daughter in Melbourne. At the end of the week, you generate NDIS invoices for all completed visits. Line items, categories, and participant references are pre-filled from the visit data.
Record supplier bills and out-of-pocket costs as they happen, or drag in a receipt or supplier invoice as a PDF or photo and let the scanner read the supplier, date, GST and total for you. Vehicle allowances, PPE purchases, insurance premiums and office rent are coded to the accounts you choose and stay consistent from then on. When a funding payment from the NDIA, DVA or a Home Care Package provider lands, record it against the invoice and the receivables list clears down to what is genuinely outstanding. When NDIS audit season arrives, you can export a complete financial trail alongside your care documentation. BAS summaries are generated in one click, with GST collected on private-pay invoices and GST credits on business purchases already tallied.
Sign up free. No credit card, no lock-in contract. Select “Aged Care / NDIS” as your business type and OneBookPlus pre-configures your account with care-specific fields: funding types, NDIS categories, visit types, and progress note templates. Import your existing participant list and carer roster via CSV from ShiftCare, AlayaCare, or a spreadsheet. Within your first week you'll have visits scheduled, carers receiving SMS notifications, and your first batch of NDIS invoices generated. Most small agencies complete the transition over a single weekend without disrupting their care schedule.
