Registration changes how you carry evidence. From 1 July more providers must be registered, and registration is not a form you file once. It is proving, on demand, that you do what your policies say. The new SIL Practice Standards raise that bar again.
So here is a simple test. If an auditor, a coordinator, or the Commission asked you today, could you show these two numbers without a scramble?
1. Is every reportable incident inside its deadline?
A reportable incident comes with a clock. Depending on type, that is 24 hours or 5 business days to notify the NDIS Commission. Most providers track that in someone's head, or a spreadsheet that only updates when someone remembers. That is a fragile place for a Commission deadline to live.
Aura OS now puts a live countdown on every reportable incident, 24 hours or 5 business days by type, with an honest on-time or late status you can see at a glance. The deadline is hard enough. The tracking should not be the hard part too.
2. Does what you claimed match what you delivered?
Over-claiming gets the attention. Under-claiming is quieter, and just as costly. You delivered the support, you did the work, and it never got billed.
Funding Integrity reconciles the support you have actually delivered against what you have claimed, and flags both sides: under-claims you can still recover, and over-claims that put you at risk. It is advisory. Aura never claims on your behalf. You see the numbers, you make the call.
The pattern underneath both
Registration and audits run on evidence, and the real work is keeping that evidence assembled as you go, not rebuilding it the night before. The same release brings three more pieces of that:
- PolicyDesk now lets you upload your own policies alongside the 35 NDIS Commission-aligned templates, and link the journal notes that show your team following them.
- Set each participant's goals and link the journal notes that evidence real progress, so the goal and the proof sit together for plan review.
- Note-quality nudges flag a note written long after the shift, or one near-identical to another, as a prompt to add the specifics. A nudge, never a mark against your worker. AI for admin, humans for care.
None of this guarantees you pass. Nothing honest could. What it does is keep you audit-ready, so the day someone asks, the answer is already there.
Pick a participant, a date, a Practice Standard. With Aura that is a branded evidence pack in about 60 seconds. Aura OS is free for your first two participants: the full app, no time limit.
