Say yes to a new referral knowing who lives nearby, keep every applicant in a talent pool you own, and keep worker screening, police checks and other documents up to date — without the spreadsheets and chasing.
A support coordinator or another provider sends a new client in a suburb you don't usually cover. Saying no can mean losing the referral. Saying yes without anyone nearby often means paying an agency or a contractor.
With Workforce Ignite you can check first. Type the client's postcode into the Talent Map, choose a distance, and see every staff member and past applicant who lives nearby, closest first — then contact them before you answer the referral.
The more people in your talent pool, the more referrals you can say yes to. That's why every applicant you collect is kept.
Many small providers hire through a post in local Facebook groups, a LinkedIn post and resumes that arrive by email or in comments. Those applicants are easy to lose.
Put a link to your own careers form in every post instead. Applicants fill it in on their phone, upload their resume and certificates, and land in your talent pool with their postcode — ready for the next referral, the next role or the next roster gap. You can also embed the form on your own website.
When you open a new role, you can email people in your talent pool who live within a set distance of it, before paying for another job ad.

Registered NDIS providers must make sure workers in risk-assessed roles hold an NDIS Worker Screening clearance, keep a list of those workers and record each clearance's expiry date (NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission). The first five-year clearances started expiring from February 2026, and workers can renew up to 90 days before expiry (renewal FAQs).
Workforce Ignite doesn't replace the NDIS Worker Screening Database or the official check. It keeps your own record of everything you need on file for each person, in one place:

Send referees a secure online form by email or text, compare what the candidate said with what the referee said, and see anything unusual flagged before you decide. Included in the price — no per-check fee.
Workforce Ignite doesn't do rostering, payroll or NDIS invoicing, and doesn't try to. Keep the system you use for those. Import your staff list from its export (for example from ShiftCare, Employment Hero or Deputy) or a spreadsheet, and use Workforce Ignite for recruitment, references and compliance.
How Workforce Ignite works next to your rostering system
Home care, aged care and community support providers have the same hiring and document problems, usually without the NDIS Worker Screening Check. Everything on this page works the same way for them — you choose which checks apply to which roles.
$99 a month plus $5 per active staff member. Candidates in your talent pool are free. No per-check fees, monthly billing, cancel any time. See Pricing.
Does Workforce Ignite do NDIS Worker Screening Checks? No. Workers apply through their state or territory's worker screening unit, and registered providers check clearances in the NDIS Worker Screening Database. Workforce Ignite keeps your own record of each check, its expiry date and who sighted it.
Can we use it if we're not NDIS-registered? Yes. You choose which checks you track. Unregistered providers, home care and community care providers use it the same way.
Does it do rostering or NDIS invoicing? No. It works alongside your rostering and payroll system.
Can support workers use it on their phone? Yes. Applying, uploading documents and giving a reference all work in a phone browser, with no app and no login.
How quickly can we start? Import your staff, set up the checks you track and publish your careers form. Book a demo and we'll walk through it with your own setup.
