Putting a new participant into Rostery.

Do this

  1. 1

    Click All Clients in the left menu.

    Click New Client at the top right.

    Add a new participant, step 2

    Add a new participant, step 5
  6. 6

    Under Identification Numbers, type the NDIS Number. Check it digit by digit — a wrong number is not rejected here, it is rejected by the NDIA weeks later when a claim fails.

    Add a new participant, step 6
  7. 7

    Under Billing & Settings, set the NDIS Plan Period Start and NDIS Plan Period End. A service dated outside that window cannot be claimed, so an end date is not optional in practice.

    Add a new participant, step 7
  8. 8

    Under Address, fill in the Street Address. Travel, rostering distance and the clock-in location check all read from it.

    Add a new participant, step 8
  9. 9

    Click Save.

  10. 10

    The participant now has a profile. Open it to set their status, add contacts, funding, goals and documents.
