Rostering, SCHADS payroll, NDIS billing, and compliance in one login. Stop stitching together spreadsheets, paper timesheets, and three different apps.
The admin shouldn't make it harder. Here's what providers tell us is breaking.
Hours rekeying line items and chasing rejected claims when a price code changes.
Penalty rates, allowances, and broken shifts that no generic payroll tool understands.
Expiring checks, missed incident deadlines, and audits you're never quite ready for.
Timesheets and progress notes lost in glove boxes, car seats, and group chats.
Everything an Australian NDIS provider needs to run the business — built to work together.
Build compliant rosters in minutes with availability, qualifications, and travel built in.
Generate claims straight from delivered shifts with the current price guide loaded.
Penalty rates, allowances, and broken shifts calculated to the Award automatically.
Worker checks, incident tracking, and audit-ready records that never expire silently.
Clock on, view shifts, and write notes from the field — online or off.
Structured, goal-linked notes your team can write in seconds, not paragraphs.
Keep the accounting tools you already use. Nuvela syncs both ways.
Sync invoices and payroll automatically — no double entry, no export gymnastics.
Export financial data cleanly so your bookkeeper always has what they need.

Penalty rates, allowances, and broken shifts calculated to the Award — no bolt-on payroll tool, no spreadsheet reconciliation.
Support workers keep one Nuvela account across providers — no re-onboarding, no duplicate paperwork when they pick up new shifts.
Competitors charge per user — costs grow as your team does. Nuvela stays flat.

“We replaced three tools and a spreadsheet with Nuvela. Payroll that used to take a full day now takes an hour, and our claims actually go through first time.”
