Provider invoice template.

Why it’s a good idea to use the invoice template.

Here at Leap in! one of the many ways we process invoices is with Optical Character Recognition (OCR). OCR is a method of digitising printed texts, and this technology works best with a standard digital or printed version of an invoice. It’s quick, accurate and highly effective and gets your invoice into the NDIA queue faster.

If you’re currently using hand-written or non-system generated invoices, we can help. We’re often asked by providers for an invoice template – you can download the landscape template or download the portrait template. Using this format will help ensure your invoices are claimed efficiently.

Tips and tricks to fast track payment for your invoices.

To ensure your invoice is processed as quickly as possible make sure you include all the details required.

Does your invoice include this information?

  1. The correct name of the NDIS participant
  2. Your sole trader, business or company name
  3. Your Australian Business Number (ABN)
  4. An invoice number
  5. Date the invoice has been issued
  6. Date the service was delivered (where possible)
  7. Basic description of service or product (including units* or hours of service delivery)
  8. Relevant NDIS line item/s for service or product
  9. Whether GST was applied to the product or service
  10. Total amount owing
  11. Details for payment (your BSB and Account Number, and payment terms)
  12. Contact details (including a telephone number and email address)
  13. Units of Service Delivery

Also, if you’re including service delivery in terms of units, please round to two decimal points (for example 0.33) as anything more adds complication (and time).
