  • Month-to-month, no lock-in

Tamworth providers coordinate support across the New England and North West, with travel to surrounding towns adding work to rosters, timesheets and billing. Sahajilo provides an outsourced back office for NDIS organisations, covering claims, SCHADS payroll, HR, compliance and IT. We work remotely inside your existing software, helping your managers keep the administrative work moving while they oversee service delivery.

Keep regional delivery connected to your billing

Tamworth is a service hub for the New England and North West. For providers supporting surrounding towns, the administrative work needs to reflect where staff went, what support they delivered and what was recorded. Tamworth is classed MMM 3 under the Modified Monash Model; regional travel should prompt careful billing checks rather than an assumption that remote price limits apply.

Our NDIS billing and claims support in Tamworth covers batch checks for NDIA-managed claims through the my NDIS provider portal, plus invoices for plan managers and self-managed participants. Checks include support item numbers, price limits, cancellations, no-shows and non-face-to-face billing.

After submission, payments are matched to claims and invoices, rejected claims are corrected and resubmitted, and overdue invoices are followed up. A monthly billing summary gives your leadership team a clear view of the billing work. This keeps outstanding items visible when managers are also coordinating services beyond Tamworth.

Make the roster, timesheet and pay run agree

Travel to surrounding towns adds detail to a Tamworth roster. Worker availability, participant needs and the shifts actually worked need to carry through to payroll. A roster change is not finished administratively until the timesheet and pay checks reflect it.

Our SCHADS payroll, HR and rostering service includes timesheet-to-roster checks before every pay run, award interpretation, Single Touch Payroll lodgement and leave balances. We work through penalty rates, overtime, broken shifts and sleepovers, alongside onboarding packs, contracts and induction records.

NSW holiday dates also belong in the roster review. Labour Day falls on Monday 5 October 2026, and the King's Birthday on Monday 14 June 2027. The NSW public holiday guide for SCHADS payroll provides a reference for planning those pay runs.

For example, a provider rostering workers across Tamworth and surrounding towns could use the pre-payroll review to resolve a changed shift before it reaches payroll. The practical aim is to identify mismatches while the records are available.

Keep NSW workforce records alongside audit evidence

When staff work across Tamworth and surrounding towns, managers need accessible evidence of screening, training and induction. Keeping those records current supports everyday rostering decisions as well as audit preparation. It also makes gaps easier to identify before an audit date approaches.

In NSW, the NDIS Worker Check is issued by the Office of the Children's Guardian, with applications through Service NSW. The NSW Working With Children Check is a separate clearance, even though the same office runs it. Our NSW worker screening guide explains the distinction.

Our NDIS compliance and audit support in Tamworth includes gap analysis against the NDIS Practice Standards, evidence packs for certification and verification audits, registration renewal and change-of-scope support. We also help with corrective action plans after audit findings.

Between audits, the work covers incident, complaints and risk registers, scheduled policy reviews, reportable incident timeline tracking, and worker screening, training and restrictive practice records. These are ongoing administrative tasks that need attention alongside regional service delivery.

Give workers access to the systems they need

For a provider coordinating services from Tamworth into surrounding towns, staff access needs to be part of onboarding. Managers and workers need their own accounts, appropriate access to participant information and somewhere to turn when a system issue interrupts their work.

Our IT support for Tamworth NDIS providers covers Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace set-up and management, multi-factor sign-in, backups and recovery for key systems. It also includes laptop and phone set-up and help desk support for managers and support workers.

Rostering and care software set-up and integration sit alongside those tasks. A useful starting review is to identify shared logins, missing multi-factor sign-in, new starters waiting for accounts and former workers whose access has not been removed. Off-boarding includes removing access on the worker's last day.

Sahajilo delivers this support remotely inside your organisation's existing software. The focus is on the systems your team uses to manage support, records and administration across its service area.

Start with the work holding your managers up

A Tamworth organisation may need help with one recurring task or several connected back-office functions. Start with the work that keeps returning to a director's desk: rejected claims awaiting rework, timesheets that do not match rosters, overdue policy reviews or staff account problems.

Where your organisation also operates around Newcastle in the Hunter, Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast or Dubbo in Central West and Orana, bring that wider service footprint into the discussion. Describe which managers oversee each area, which software they use and where administrative handovers become unclear.

We work in tools such as Xero, MYOB, Careview, HCP, ShiftCare, AlayaCare and the my NDIS provider portal.
