What's inside

The Ledgecroft Provider Readiness Starter Pack is free. Here's what you get:

  • 90-day claims tracker (Excel .xlsx). One row per support: you enter the plan management type and the support date (first day), and it fills in who usually claims, a claim-by date (guide only: support date plus 89 days, so the support day counts as day 1), days left and colour alerts, with a Settings tab for your own buffer — a planning aid, not a personalised legal deadline.
  • Claims tracker quick guide (PDF). A short walk-through of how the tracker counts the 90 days, who usually claims, how to keep records, and a worked example — including when day 90 falls on a weekend.
  • Registration readiness checklist (PDF). Preparation steps for claims and payments, 7-year records, registration, safety and conduct, and payments-system changes, each with a named official source.
  • Provider changes 2026–2030 (PDF). A timeline of claims, records and registration dates, showing only dates given in official sources and marking anything not yet announced.
  • Am I likely affected? (PDF). A six-question orientation self-check that does not classify you or say whether a rule applies; it only points to what may be relevant and what to check next.

Each of the four PDFs also comes as an accessible PDF and an HTML edition, which is easier to read on a phone. The tracker is an Excel file: it's easiest on a computer; on a phone you need an app that opens .xlsx files. If a claim-by date falls on a weekend, aim to claim by the last business day before it.

Who it's for

Independent support workers, sole traders and small providers in Australia who aren't registered and want to work out where they stand.

It's not for NDIS participants and families, anyone after legal, tax or financial advice, or anyone who needs a guaranteed registration or audit result.

Short FAQ

What is the NDIS 90 day rule?

From 1 December 2026, claims will need to be made within 90 days of the support being delivered, by whoever claims (you, the plan manager or the participant). The 90 days run from the day of the support, not the day you invoice. Before that the limit was 2 years.

Will this tell me whether I must register?

No. The “Am I likely affected?” self-check is orientation only. It isn't an eligibility test, a legal assessment or an official registration decision, and it doesn't classify you. Only the official rules, and the NDIS Commission, can settle it.

What format is the pack, and does it work on my phone?

The claims tracker is an Excel (.xlsx) file. The checklist, timeline, self-check and tracker quick guide are PDFs, and each of those also comes as an accessible PDF and an HTML edition that fits a phone screen. The tracker is easiest on a computer; on a phone you need an app that opens .xlsx files.

Is this an official NDIS product?

No. We're independent. It isn't produced, reviewed or endorsed by the NDIA, the NDIS Commission or the Australian Government.
