LeeCare's Platinum6 dominates residential aged care with 900+ facilities. But if you run a home care agency, you need a modern platform built for community care — with NDIS, HCP & DVA billing, mobile-first design, and pricing that won't break the bank.

Why switch
LeeCare's Platinum6 is a powerful but complex desktop-era system designed for residential facility workstations. OneBookPlus is a modern web application that works in any browser, on any device — with a clean interface that your team can learn in hours, not weeks.
LeeCare dominates residential aged care but wasn't designed for home and community care delivery. OneBookPlus is purpose-built for home care agencies with mobile carers — NDIS, HCP, DVA billing, travel time tracking, and field-based care notes are core to the platform.
LeeCare implementations typically involve consultants, data migration projects, and months of configuration. OneBookPlus lets you sign up online and start managing clients, rosters, and billing the same day — with guided onboarding and no setup fees.
LeeCare's enterprise pricing model (setup fees plus per-bed monthly costs) is designed for large residential providers. OneBookPlus starts from $0/month with a free plan, making professional aged care software accessible to agencies of every size.
FAQ
For home care agencies, yes. LeeCare (Platinum6) is the dominant EHR in Australian residential aged care — used by Bupa and 900+ facilities. But it's designed for residential care with complex clinical workflows that home care agencies don't need. OneBookPlus is purpose-built for home care, NDIS, HCP, and DVA services with a modern web interface, mobile app for carers, and self-service signup. If you run a home care agency, you'll find OneBookPlus far simpler and more affordable.
LeeCare uses enterprise-only pricing with implementation costs that typically start at $10,000+ for setup, plus ongoing per-bed or per-facility monthly fees. The total cost of ownership can run into hundreds of thousands of dollars for larger organisations. OneBookPlus starts from $0/month with a free plan, and paid plans include NDIS claiming, rostering, family portal, care notes, and full accounting — with no setup fees, no consultants, and no long-term contracts.
OneBookPlus has native NDIS claiming and HCP package management built in — features that LeeCare doesn't offer because it focuses on residential aged care. You can submit NDIS bulk claims, manage HCP budgets, track DVA billing, and generate compliant invoices directly from the platform. For community and home care services, OneBookPlus covers the billing and compliance workflows that LeeCare was never designed for.
LeeCare's Platinum6 system is primarily a desktop application designed for residential facility workstations. While they have some mobile features, the platform wasn't built mobile-first. OneBookPlus is designed from the ground up for mobile — carers can view rosters, log care notes, track travel time, and complete digital forms from their phone, which is essential for home care workers who are always on the move.
OneBookPlus is the best alternative for agencies that deliver home care, NDIS, HCP, or DVA services. While LeeCare dominates residential aged care, it's not designed for community care delivery. OneBookPlus gives you a modern web platform with mobile apps, NDIS/HCP/DVA billing, rostering with SCHADS Award support, a family portal, digital care forms, and built-in accounting — all at a fraction of the cost with no enterprise procurement process.
LeeCare's Platinum6 was built for a different era of aged care — residential facilities with desktop workstations, complex clinical workflows, and enterprise IT departments to manage the implementation. If you run a home care agency with mobile carers delivering NDIS, HCP, or DVA services in the community, you need a platform built for how your team actually works: on phones, in cars, at clients' homes. OneBookPlus is that platform.
Everything in OneBookPlus is designed for community care delivery. Carers check their roster on their phone, navigate to the client's home, clock in on arrival, log care notes during the visit, and clock out when they leave. That shift data flows automatically into NDIS claiming, invoicing, and payroll calculations — no double-entry, no paper forms, no desktop required.
Mobile-first care delivery: Carers get a native mobile app with their roster, client details, care plans, and navigation built in. They log care notes, complete digital assessment forms, record incidents, and capture signatures — all from their phone. This is fundamentally different from LeeCare's desktop-first approach, where mobile access is an afterthought rather than the core experience.
NDIS, HCP & DVA billing: Submit NDIS bulk claims directly, manage HCP package budgets with real-time balance tracking, and generate DVA invoices — three billing streams that LeeCare doesn't support because it was built for residential aged care, not community services. Budget alerts notify coordinators before a participant's funding runs low.
Built-in invoicing & accounting: Generate GST-compliant invoices from delivered services, reconcile payments against bank feeds, track expenses, and run profit and loss reports — all without a separate accounting platform. LeeCare leaves financial management to external tools, adding cost and complexity for agencies that need a simpler, integrated solution.
OneBookPlus is the right choice if you're a home care, NDIS, or community care agency that has been evaluating LeeCare but found it too complex or expensive for your needs. It's also ideal if you're a small to mid-sized provider who needs NDIS and HCP billing without $10,000+ in setup fees, or if your carers need a genuine mobile-first experience rather than a desktop system adapted for tablets. Agencies delivering DVA services should also consider OneBookPlus, since LeeCare doesn't support DVA billing at all.
Sign up online for a free OneBookPlus account — no sales calls, no consultants, no setup fees. Add your agency details, import your participant list, and invite your care team. Configure your NDIS line items and HCP packages, build your first week of rosters, and your carers will see their shifts on the mobile app immediately. Most agencies are fully operational within a day, compared to the months-long implementation LeeCare typically requires.
