How Xero fits NDIS and aged care providers
The most common accounting target for NDIS care platforms that push invoices and payroll journals into Xero. Xero Payroll alone does not interpret SCHADS shifts, so providers pair it with a rostering or payroll tool. It does not handle NDIS claiming.
Care-specific products that overlap with it: Appoyo, CareMaster, FlowLogic.
