Fixed-fee automation for Australian disability support, aged care, and allied health providers. Sized for 5 to 150-person teams. Most builds give frontline staff back 10 to 40 hours per week.

  • We walk your current process with you — no screen shares, no homework.

01 — The state of things

Admin is not a personality trait. It is a design flaw.

Care providers do not struggle because their teams lack discipline. They struggle because the work requires humans to stitch together tools that were never meant to talk. Every manual handoff is a hidden cost — and enough of them stop the organisation running the process.

01

Repetitive admin everywhere

Forms, timesheets, data entry, and the same email reply written fifty times. Hours lost per staff member per week, compounding.

02

Compliance documentation drag

The evidence load is not optional. Producing it manually is a tax falling hardest on the people you can least afford to burn out.

03

No internal IT to fix it

No automation team, no solution architect, no roadmap. So the inefficiencies calcify into “just the way we do it.”

02 — Why now

The compliance calendar is not waiting for anyone.

Small and mid-sized care providers are absorbing the steepest regulatory curve the sector has seen in a decade — with the thinnest margins and the smallest back-office teams. Automation is how a 5-to-150-person provider stays operationally viable through what is coming.

81%

of disability sector providers say they cannot sustainably deliver services at current funded rates. Nearly half reported a financial loss in 2024–25.

02
77%

delivered unfunded services in 2024–25 — averaging almost $500,000 per provider per year absorbed onto already-negative margins.

84%

of providers say their leadership team spends too much time dealing with policy and funding change — time not spent running the service.

plan to stay in the sector but not focus on growth. They are optimising to survive — not scaling. CCS is built for those operators, not the growth-mode ones.

The compliance calendar

Five dated events reshaping back-office work.

Each one lands on providers already running thin margins. Automation stops being a productivity project — it becomes how a small team stays inside the rules.

  1. SCHADS Schedule F/G commences

    Aged care home care splits into its own SCHADS stream. Every existing classification is in play.

  2. 3.5% SCHADS wage rise

    FWC Annual Wage Review applies across all five streams. Disability price arrangements update on the same day.

  3. Support at Home + Aged Care Act

    Home Care Packages retired. Aged Care Act 2024 and seven strengthened Quality Standards commence the same day.

  4. Second PAPL revision

    Disability price arrangements revised again. Some allied health caps reduced — revenue compression during a wage-rise year.

  5. Annual Price Review open

    Next year’s price arrangements are already under consultation. The next move is not locked in — only the pressure is.

We build for SCHADS, not around it. The ROI calculator on this site defaults to the live SCHADS Level 2 $35.67 base rate — that is not an accident.

07 — Common questions

The questions we get first.

01 What size of provider do you work with?
5 to 150 staff. Enterprise consultancies aim upmarket; specialist boutiques set a $5M revenue floor. CCS is built for the gap between them.
02 Do you actually understand SCHADS and the compliance calendar?
Yes — deliberately. The ROI calculator defaults to the SCHADS Level 2 $35.67 base rate. Every build is scoped around the real rules your team operates under.
03 We do not have an internal IT team. Is that a problem?
No — the engagement model assumes you do not. Every build ships with a runbook a non-technical operational lead can maintain.
04 What platforms do you build on?
Microsoft Power Automate, UiPath, Azure Logic Apps, and applied AI. The right tool is whichever one solves your workflow with the lowest long-term maintenance cost — and every proposal tells you which we chose and why.
05 Is pricing really fixed?
Yes. Build packages are fixed fee, scoped to an outcome, written down before you pay. If the work grows beyond scope, we write a new scope — we never pad the invoice.
06 Will the automation still work when our process changes?
Every build has a change surface — the parts that move are isolated from the parts that do not. Support retainers cover incremental changes so the automation evolves with the business.
