NDIS & Regulatory Compliance
Last Reviewed: September 2026 | Australian Regulatory Standards Framework
Built for Australian Quality Audits: DailyCore is purpose-built to streamline compliance with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, Aged Care Quality Standards, and Fair Work Modern Awards. Our system maintains immutable records and provides one-click export packs for approved quality auditors.
1. NDIS Practice Standards & Core Module Alignment
DailyCore directly embeds operational controls that satisfy the four core modules of the NDIS Practice Standards:
Rights & Responsibilities
Participant and family portals facilitate person-centered choice and control. Clear consent capture for care plans, photo documentation, and digital signature verifications.
Governance & Operational Management
Centralized policy and document distribution, immutable audit trails, credential expiry monitoring, and granular role-based privilege controls.
Provision of Supports
Structured care planning, real-time risk alerts, goal progress measurement, and mandatory shift checklists accessible on mobile devices at the point of care.
Support Provision Environment
End-to-end incident reporting workflow, medication management (MAR), emergency contacts, and behavioral support precautions instantly available to rostered workers.
2. NDIS Worker Screening & Compliance Safeguards
Ensuring that only thoroughly vetted and credentialed staff deliver supports is a non-negotiable statutory obligation. DailyCore enforces proactive compliance:
- Mandatory Credential Checks: Tracks NDIS Worker Screening Check (NDISWC), Working With Children Check (WWCC), National Police Certificates, CPR/First Aid, and driver's license status;
- Automated Expiry Alerts: Automated 60-day, 30-day, and 14-day advance warnings sent to staff and coordinators before certifications lapse;
- Roster Allocation Locks: System warnings automatically alert roster managers if attempting to assign an unverified or expired staff member to a shift.
3. Incident Management & Reportable Incidents
Under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Incident Management and Reportable Incidents) Rules 2018, registered providers must identify, record, investigate, and report critical incidents within strict statutory timeframes (24 hours for severe incidents; 5 business days for others).
DailyCore provides frontline workers with immediate incident capture forms on mobile devices:
- Immediate escalation alerts to management for high-severity events;
- Structured categorization matching NDIS Commission reporting categories (allegations of abuse, serious injury, medication error, unauthorized restrictive practice);
- Witness statement documentation, photo evidence attachment, and remedial action tracking;
- Exportable incident investigation summaries ready for submission to the NDIS Commission Portal.
4. SCHADS Award & Fair Work Standards
DailyCore assists providers in meeting complex payroll compliance under the Social, Community, Home Care and Disability Services Industry Award (SCHADS):
- Minimum Engagement Tracking: Identifies and validates minimum 2-hour part-time/casual shift blocks;
- Mandatory Break Logging: Mobile prompts and timestamps for meal and rest breaks;
- Mileage & Travel Time: Records distance traveled in kilometers and designated travel time between consecutive community participants;
- Overtime & Split Shifts: Automated calculation assistance for broken shift allowances and overtime thresholds.
5. Quality Audit Readiness & Data Export
When undergoing periodic certification or mid-term verification audits by an approved quality auditor:
- One-Click Auditor Packs: Export comprehensive rosters, progress notes, sign-offs, and incident histories within specified date ranges;
- Immutable Audit Trails: Every shift update, note edit, clock event, and status transition is cryptographically logged with user identity and timestamp;
- Long-Term Compliance Archiving: Records are retained for the mandated 7-year statutory period with secure cloud backup.
