NDIS Incident Management That Never Misses a Deadline

Log incidents instantly. AI classifies severity and flags what requires NDIS Commission notification — with a 5-day countdown that starts the moment an incident is recorded.

01WHAT IT IS

What is Incident Management?

AuditCore's Incident Management module is a complete, AI-assisted system for logging, classifying, investigating, and reporting every incident from initial report through to Commission notification and post-incident review. Every incident is captured in a standardised format, linked to the relevant participant profile and worker records, and tracked through to resolution with automated deadline management. The AI reads each incident description in plain language and determines: whether it is a reportable incident, the correct Commission notification timeframe (24 hours or 5 business days), and the severity level for internal escalation. No manual classification needed — the system tells the worker what to do next, and starts the clock automatically.

02WHY IT MATTERS

Why It Matters

Missing the 5-day NDIS Commission notification deadline is one of the most common and most serious compliance failures in the sector. It triggers regulatory action, generates a separate reportable incident for the missed notification itself, and leaves a permanent mark on your Commission compliance record. The consequences compound: a missed deadline during your re-registration period can result in conditions on your registration or — in serious cases — cancellation. AuditCore eliminates this risk completely. From the moment an incident is logged, the system owns the deadline — calculating the exact due date, sending automated reminders, and escalating to management if action has not been taken within the required timeframe.

03HOW IT WORKS

How AuditCore Helps

A worker logs an incident from the app, desktop, or tablet — at the point of care, not at the end of a shift. AuditCore AI reads the description, classifies the incident type and severity, and determines whether NDIS Commission notification is required. If yes, the exact notification deadline is calculated and displayed immediately — with automated reminders sent to the responsible manager at 72h, 48h, and 24h before the deadline. The Commission notification form is pre-filled from your participant and incident data. Review it, submit it directly, and AuditCore marks the notification as complete. The 28-day follow-up report is then tracked in the same way. Every step is logged, every deadline met, every record audit-ready.

AuditCore AI reads the incident description and classifies it against the NDIS (Incident Management and Reportable Incidents) Rules 2018 categories. It flags whether the incident meets the definition of a reportable incident and which notification timeframe applies — 24 hours for serious incidents, 5 business days for others.
