Melbourne SIL Provider — 3 group homes, 12 support workers
Corrective action avoided. Audit-ready in 14 days.
The Presenting Symptom
A mid-registration audit flagged gaps in incident documentation and policy review evidence. The provider had 30 days to respond or enter corrective action — a process that typically costs $8,000–$15,000 in consultant fees before the Commission considers renewal. Everything was manual: policy review schedules lived in a shared calendar, incident reports were filed by hand, evidence packages were assembled from email threads.
The Actual Diagnosis
| Manual Job | Category | Est. Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Policy review tracking and evidence assembly | Compliance | $28,000 |
| Incident documentation (after-hours) | Compliance | $34,000 |
| Audit response preparation | Compliance | $22,000 |
| Staff compliance training records | Administration | $16,000 |
The Result
Audit response time
Compliance evidence completeness
Incident documentation rate
Corrective action entered

Queensland SIL Provider — 4 SIL homes, 24hr rostering
After-hours incidents: 8–14 hours to log, down to 12 minutes.
The Presenting Symptom
Incidents reported after 5pm went to the on-call manager's personal mobile. Logging was inconsistent — some incidents were written up the next morning from memory, others not at all. The Commission's incident reporting requirements mandate logging within 24 hours. Three near-misses in one quarter put the registration at risk. The provider had no systematic way to capture, categorise, or escalate incidents without a human in the loop.
The Actual Diagnosis
| Manual Job | Category | Est. Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|
| After-hours incident intake and logging | Triage | $41,000 |
| On-call manager coordination | Operations | $28,000 |
| Incident categorisation and escalation routing | Compliance | $19,000 |
| 24hr reporting compliance documentation | Compliance | $24,000 |
The Result
After-hours incidents captured
Avg logging time post-incident
24hr reporting compliance

Sydney Disability Services Provider — community access and SIL
2 referral conversations a month became 20. In 30 days.
The Presenting Symptom
Referral development was entirely relationship-dependent — if the founder wasn't personally calling support coordinators, the pipeline was silent. The provider had capacity for 8 new participants but averaged 2 referral conversations per month. No systematic outreach, no follow-up cadence, no record of which coordinators had been contacted. Growth was capped at whoever the founder happened to speak to.
The Actual Diagnosis
| Manual Job | Category | Est. Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Support coordinator outreach and follow-up | Referral | $52,000 |
| Referral pipeline tracking | Sales | $18,000 |
| Coordinator relationship maintenance | Marketing | $24,000 |
| Vacancy communication to referral network | Operations | $14,000 |
The Result
Referral conversations/month
Active coordinator relationships
Follow-up rate on warm leads
Time to first 5 conversations

Adelaide Community Care Provider — 18 support workers, SCHADS Award
SCHADS breach risk eliminated before payroll, not after.
The Presenting Symptom
Roster changes were made in a shared spreadsheet. No one was checking SCHADS Award compliance before publishing — broken periods, insufficient rest between shifts, and overtime triggers were only caught when payroll flagged them at the end of the fortnight. Three SCHADS breaches in six months created $14,000 in back-pay liability and one unfair dismissal risk that required legal advice. The ops manager was spending 6 hours each week on manual compliance checks that were still missing things.
The Actual Diagnosis
| Manual Job | Category | Est. Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|
| SCHADS compliance checking before roster publication | Workforce | $31,000 |
| Shift change impact assessment | Operations | $22,000 |
| Payroll error remediation and back-pay processing | Finance | $19,000 |
| Award interpretation for casual/part-time staff | Compliance | $16,000 |
The Result
SCHADS breaches caught pre-publish
Back-pay liability (6-month period)
Ops manager time on roster compliance
Roster change turnaround time
Install cost recovered in: 5 weeks
Companion Health
$222K+ saved in operational costs
The Presenting Symptom
Compliance tracking was manual and reactive — policy reviews were missed, evidence packages assembled under pressure before audits. Coordinator outreach ran from a spreadsheet with no follow-up cadence. At 20+ hours a week of admin, the operation was funding its own inefficiency.
The Actual Diagnosis
| Manual Job | Category | Est. Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Policy review tracking | Compliance | $38,000 |
| Coordinator outreach | Referral | $52,000 |
| Evidence package assembly | Compliance | $28,000 |
| Supplies & maintenance tracking | Operations | $44,000 |
| Client engagement follow-up | Retention | $60,000 |
The Result
Admin hours saved
Compliance readiness
Referral conversations
Annual cost savings
Install cost recovered in: 6 weeks
Horizon Property Group
4x appraisal bookings in 60 days
The Presenting Symptom
Leads from portals and open homes sat in a spreadsheet. Follow-up was manual — if it happened at all. Response time averaged 4+ hours. Competitors were calling back in minutes.
The Actual Diagnosis
| Manual Job | Category | Est. Annual Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Portal lead follow-up | Sales | $46,000 |
| Open home attendee nurture | Marketing | $28,000 |
| Appraisal booking and reminders | Operations | $18,000 |

| Quote follow-up | Sales | $24,000 |

18 inbound leads/month from zero content presence
The Presenting Symptom

|---|---|---|
| Content creation and posting | Marketing | $36,000 |
| Lead research before calls | Sales | $22,000 |
