Project NdisAI extends the Nexis365 platform to support the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Its aim is to reduce administrative burden, improve coordination and deliver participant‑centred outcomes through responsible use of data and AI. This README summarises the concept deck, pilot plan, compliance strategy and investment rationale for the NDIS-aligned innovation.
- The NDIS supports more than 650,000 participants but providers and participants struggle with complex processes and coordination gaps.
- These barriers delay services and restrict choice and control, highlighting the need for tailored innovation.
- Cloud-based extension of Nexis365 with NDIS-specific case management, rostering, invoicing and compliance.
- AI-driven features automate routine tasks, forecast needs and match supports, giving staff more time for quality care.
- Participants: greater choice, control and goal tracking via easier communication.
- Providers: reduced paperwork and improved compliance management.
- NDIA/Government: fosters a diverse, innovative market and system-wide efficiencies.
- Integrates securely with NDIA systems via Digital Partnership Program APIs.
- AI flags risks, predicts service gaps and personalises recommendations.
- Designed solely for NDIS workflows.
- Co-design workshops with participants, families and providers guide features and accessibility.
- Pilot with a reputable provider will involve 20–50 participants over six months to validate outcomes and refine the product.
- Complies with the NDIS Code of Conduct, Privacy Act 1988 and NDIS Commission requirements.
- Data hosted in Australia with encryption and role-based access control; no disclosure without consent.
- Follows Australia’s AI Ethics Principles to ensure transparency, fairness and contestability.
- Months 1–2: co-designed requirements and architecture.
- Months 3–5: core build, AI module, NDIA API integrations.
- Month 6: internal alpha, security audit, compliance checks.
- Month 7: beta release for feedback.
- Month 8: MVP ready for pilot.
- Months 9–12: pilot execution with continuous improvement.
- Led by an NDIS-registered provider and creator of Nexis365 (est. 2014).
- Multi-disciplinary team covering product, AI engineering, disability expertise and ethics.
- Provider partner delivers diverse participant insights; engaging NDIA/DSS stakeholders.
- Seeking ~A$500k in grant funding plus strategic support to complete build and run pilot.
- Plan to scale to additional providers and explore broader Scheme integration after pilot.
- Growing NDIS market (~650k participants) and precedent deals (T‑Shirt Ventures, Mable) support an IP valuation of A$15–25M with successful adoption.
- Revenue through SaaS subscriptions for providers and premium participant features enables national rollout.
