Paying too much for care software?

Most NDIS and aged care tools charge per user, per month. That means your costs grow every time you hire. KareShift uses flat-rate pricing — your bill stays predictable as your team scales.

The problem with per-user pricing

Per-user pricing punishes growth. Here's what that looks like for a typical NDIS provider.

📈

Costs scale with headcount

Hire 5 more casual workers and your software bill jumps $50–$125/month — even if they only do a few shifts.

🔒

Features locked behind tiers

NDIS payment requests, funding management, and compliance tools often require the most expensive plan — $20–$25/user.

🧾

Hidden costs add up

SMS charges, onboarding fees, training packages, and per-client add-ons turn "affordable" into expensive fast.

Why providers are switching

💰

Predictable costs

One flat monthly fee. Hire more casuals, onboard more workers — your software bill doesn't change (within your tier).

🚀

Modern, fast interface

Built in 2025/26 with modern tech. No legacy clunk, no slow page loads, no outdated UI patterns from 2015.

📱

Works on any phone

No app store download. Workers open their browser, clock in, chart care, log notes. Installs as a home screen app (PWA).

🇦🇺

Australian data only

Your data lives in AWS Sydney. Never leaves Australia. Built for Australian Privacy Principles from day one.

🏥

NDIS + Aged Care in one

Run both sectors from one login. Separate workspaces, purpose-built modules for each — no awkward one-size-fits-all compromise.

🔓

No lock-in, ever

Month-to-month billing. Export your data anytime (CSV/PDF). Cancel with one click — no exit fees, no phone calls, no guilt trips.

Where we're honest

KareShift isn't for everyone. Here's who we're best for — and who might need something else.

✓ Great fit

  • • Small to mid-size NDIS providers (5–100 workers)
  • • Residential aged care facilities (single-site)
  • • Providers who want simplicity over complexity
  • • Teams tired of per-user pricing
  • • Providers who value Australian data hosting
  • • New providers setting up for the first time

⊘ May not suit

  • • Enterprise providers needing multi-entity governance
  • • Organisations requiring SSO/SAML integration
  • • Providers needing direct PRODA/NDIA API claims
  • • Allied health / support coordination (not our focus)
  • • Providers who require App Store/Play Store listing (we use installable PWA — same experience, no download)
  • • Teams needing accounting integrations today (Xero/MYOB — coming soon)

Switching FAQ

Correct. Month-to-month billing, cancel anytime. Annual plans get a 20% discount but you're never locked in — cancel mid-year and keep access until the end of your paid period.
