NDIS Provider Invoice Tips and Tricks

When preparing invoices there are certain items that are required on an invoice in order for it to be paid. This forms part of our own internal audit function and NDIS requirements. Without these items we will not be able to pay your invoice.

Processing Times

As Accountants and a small business we understand the importance of prompt payment. We generally claim from the NDIS 4 times a week. As a result in most cases you should expect to be paid in 5 business days assuming your invoice is received in the appropriate format.

Occasionally there are issues, and, in each case, we will endeavour to make contact if there is any delay in payment.

If you haven’t received payment after 8 working days, please contact us.

Please note if it’s the first time we are paying you allow 10 business days.

Service Agreement: Important Information

It’s important that all parties know how much a participant will be charged during the life of a plan.  The participant will have a limited budget that can not be exceeded. To protect the participant and the provider it’s important that each of them know how much will be charged for services. Service agreements are generally the best way to do this. Creating a service agreement is outside the scope of this article. As a provider, here are some simple steps on what you should do:

  • Obtain the plan dates. These are the dates that you can provide services within
  • Determine the price you will charge for your services
  • Calculate the amounts you will charge for the life of the plan
  • Include this in your service agreement
  • Communicate this to the participant and ourselves

There are a number of online calculators that can assist. A google search for “NDIS Support calculator” can help with calculating the amount charged. To assist, you can enter the details of the service agreement on this website. Click on the Service Bookings Tab under Providers or Support Coordinator

We also have two templates available (see below) to download which will help allocate funds. Once completed you can send these to sa@peakplan.com.au for processing.
