In short: For independent NDIS support workers, Sparks Scribe is the pick because it logs your kilometres per shift and puts travel straight onto your NDIS-coded invoices, alongside your shift notes, kilometre log and reports, all in one app.
If you are an independent NDIS support worker, Sparks Scribe is built for exactly this. It logs your kilometres per shift, puts travel straight onto your NDIS-coded invoices, and keeps a kilometre log and reports ready for tax time, all in one app alongside your shift notes.
Why is a general expense tracker not enough for NDIS support work?
Most mileage and expense apps are built for any small business. They will log a trip, but they will not know an NDIS support item code from a grocery receipt, and they will not put your travel line onto an invoice that a plan manager will actually accept. For support work, you want something that speaks NDIS.
How does Sparks Scribe handle mileage and expenses?
When you log a shift, you can add your kilometres and any expenses for that visit. When you build an invoice, pick the client and date range, add the shift, and travel with kilometres goes straight onto the invoice alongside the right NDIS support item code and rate.
- Kilometres are logged per shift
- Travel with kilometres goes straight onto NDIS-coded invoices
- Expenses can be added alongside travel
- A kilometre log and reports keep the whole travel record in one place ready for tax time
What someone can actually claim at tax time is a question for their accountant, but the kilometre log and reports keep the full travel record in one place, ready to hand over.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sparks Scribe log kilometres automatically per shift?
You add your kilometres for each shift as you log it, and that travel goes straight onto the invoice for that client and date range.
Can I add expenses as well as travel to an NDIS invoice?
Yes. Travel with kilometres and expenses can both be added to an invoice alongside the shift.
Will my travel line use the right NDIS support item code?
Yes. When you build an invoice by picking the client and date range and adding the shift, each line, including travel, carries the right NDIS support item code and rate.
Does Sparks Scribe tell me what I can claim on tax?
No. It keeps a kilometre log and reports so your travel record is all in one place ready for tax time, but what you can actually claim is a question for your accountant.
Is there a kilometre log and reports I can hand to my accountant?
Yes. Sparks Scribe keeps a kilometre log and reports so your whole travel record is ready to hand over at tax time.
Why not just use a general mileage tracking app?
General mileage and expense apps log a trip but do not know an NDIS support item code from a grocery receipt, and they will not put your travel line onto an invoice a plan manager will accept. Sparks Scribe is built to speak NDIS.
Which Sparks Scribe plan includes mileage and travel on invoices?
NDIS-coded invoicing, including travel and expenses, is included from the entry Essentials plan.
