Confronting Financial and Operational Challenges
In the intricate ecosystem of the NDIS, service providers face a complex matrix of challenges. Achieving operational resilience and financial acumen requires a delicate balance. Providers must offer comprehensive support while navigating a complex funding landscape.
- Escalating Financial Pressures – NDIS providers are navigating a tumultuous financial environment. Funding rates are diminishing while operational costs rise. This financial squeeze forces providers to rethink strategies for managing roster costs, a significant part of operational expenditures.
- Aligning Funding with Operational Costs – The core challenge in financial management within the NDIS lies in aligning funding with operational costs. Providers strive to ensure that the funding received covers the costs of delivering high-quality care. This alignment is crucial for maintaining financial health and continuing service.
- Roster Budgeting and Cash Flow Forecasting – Accurate forecasting of roster budgets and cash flows is pivotal. Current systems often lack the agility and precision needed. This deficiency hampers providers’ ability to plan financially, manage cash flow efficiently, and make informed staffing decisions.
The Roster Cost and Coverage Solution
As NDIS providers grapple with fluctuating roster costs and the challenge of maintaining optimal staff coverage, our “Roster Cost and Coverage Solution” offers a sophisticated solution designed to bring efficiency and accuracy to your financial and operational planning.
This solution allows providers to forecast roster costs and coverage with precision, optimise staff allocation, and manage changes across the organisation through a single entry. It supports detailed financial forecasts and scenario planning, enhancing both operational efficiency and financial stability with the following capabilities:
- Accurate Costing and Budget Forecasting: Fast and accurate roster budget and cashflow forecasting make this tool easy to use, flexible, and customisable. It can be tailored to take into account any item you need, providing the most accurate financial forecast for your schedule.
- Real-Time Cash Flow Visibility: Measure fluctuating line items against margins to give real-time visibility of cash flows. This feature allows you to quickly and accurately calculate the cost of changes to staff rosters, helping you make the best decisions for your business based on a highly accurate forecast of your cash flow, thus reducing the risk of losses and maintaining sustainability in a tight margin environment.
- Comprehensive Cost Management: Calculate roster wage costs based on any combination of SCHADS, other awards, or multiple EBAs. The tools also allow you to cost manpower budgets down to the individual days accurately, and forecast new rosters and their costs as participant requirements change. You can assess the sustainability of a particular asset, like an individual residence, by comparing roster costs to funding to provide a contribution/loss comparison.
- Advanced Scenario Planning: Run different scenarios based on funding and roster expectations. Compare staff costs across multiple scenarios for different roster structures and allowances. With the ability to test scenarios and make changes easily, you can save on NDIS provider hours while ensuring coverage.
These features collectively make the Roster Cost and Coverage Solution an indispensable tool for NDIS providers aiming to navigate the complexities of cost management and staff scheduling effectively.
