Go to Admin

From the left-hand menu, select Admin.

This opens the Admin area, where you can manage users, roles, integrations, billing, configuration, and notifications.

Open Configuration

At the top of the Admin page, select Configuration.

This opens your organization’s configuration settings.

  • Interaction Types

Open Bulk Upload

Select Bulk Upload under the Invoicing section.

The Upload Service Items page will open.

This page is used to import NDIS billable service items from an Excel file.

Download the NDIS Support Catalogue

On the Upload Service Items page, use the NDIS Support Catalogue link to download the required template.

You can also use the NDIS Pricing arrangements link if you need to download the latest pricing guide directly from the NDIS website.

Always use the latest file to help keep pricing and service item details accurate.

Upload the Excel File

Upload the Excel file using either option:

  • Drag and drop the file into the upload area

  • Select click to browse and choose the file from your computer

Supported file types:

  • .xlsx

  • .xls

Maximum file size:

  • 10MB

Once the file is selected, the system will automatically parse and validate the data before upload.

Review the Parsed Data

After the file has been processed, the Review Parsed Data screen will appear.

This screen shows a summary of the upload, including:

  • Total Items

  • Valid

  • Warnings

  • Errors

The table also shows item details such as:

  • Status

  • Item Number

  • Name

  • Unit

  • Date

  • Quote

  • Message

Review the data before confirming the upload.

Items with errors will not be uploaded.

Confirm the Upload

If the data looks correct, select Upload Valid Items.

The button will show the number of valid items that will be uploaded.

Example: Upload 5 Valid Items

Wait for the upload to finish. The button may show a loading state while the system processes the file.

Confirm Upload Completion

Once the upload is complete, you will see the Upload Complete screen.

This confirms that the valid items have been processed and added to the catalogue.

You can select Upload Another File if you need to import another catalogue.

Edit a Billable Item

To edit an individual billable item, go to:

Admin > Configuration > Invoicing > Billable Items

Find the item you want to update.

You can search or browse the list, then open the item’s action menu and select Edit.

Update the required details, then save your changes.

Common fields may include:

  • Item Name

  • Description

  • Price

  • Unit Type

  • GST Status

  • Support Category

Important Notes

  • Always use the latest NDIS Support Catalogue where possible.

  • Uploading a new catalogue may update or override existing billable item values.

  • Items with errors will not be uploaded.

  • Review all warnings before confirming the upload.

  • Editing a billable item may affect future invoicing and claiming.

  • Existing invoices may not automatically update when a billable item is edited.

  • Only enable Allow TTP if the NDIS pricing guide permits Temporary Transformation Payment for that item.

Troubleshooting
