Moving on from Brevity? What NDIS providers should look for.
If you're running an NDIS-only business, Brevity comes with a plan-management module, aged-care workflows and DEX reporting you'll never use — and on its Business or Enterprise plan, a setup fee before you've booked your first shift. Rostrel skips all of that: NDIS-only, all-inclusive, no setup fee.

Rostrel may suit you if…
You’re an NDIS-only provider who wants software built around that one job, all-inclusive pricing with no setup fee, and a completeness view that flags missed claims before you close a fortnight.
Brevity may suit you if…
You deliver aged care or Support at Home alongside NDIS and want one platform across both, or you want a built-in plan-management module with OCR invoice capture.
What Brevity does well
A lot, and it’s a genuine option. Brevity is Australian-made and NDIS-first, with a deep claiming workflow — both a direct NDIS API path and bulk PRODA files, plus a plan-management module with OCR invoice capture and auto-reconciliation. It spans NDIS and aged care (Home Care, CHSP, Support at Home with DEX), prices transparently per client with unlimited users, and is ISO/IEC 27001 certified.
If you want one platform across disability and aged care, that breadth is a real strength.
Where Rostrel takes a different line
NDIS focus over multi-sector breadth
Brevity covers NDIS and aged care. Rostrel does one thing — NDIS provider operations — and is built entirely around it. If you’re NDIS-only, a focused tool means fewer settings that don’t apply to you.
All-inclusive, no setup fee
Rostrel’s plans are all-inclusive with no setup fee. On Brevity’s published pricing, the paid Business and Enterprise tiers carry a setup fee. It’s a small thing, but worth knowing up front.

When Brevity might be the better choice
If you deliver aged care or Support at Home as well as NDIS, Brevity’s multi-sector coverage (including DEX reporting) lets you run both in one place — something Rostrel, by design, doesn’t do. And if you operate as a plan manager, Brevity’s plan-management module is a genuine fit.

Frequently asked questions
How is Rostrel different from Brevity?
Brevity is a broad NDIS-and-aged-care platform with a plan-management module; Rostrel is focused on NDIS providers, with all-inclusive pricing, no setup fee, and a completeness view that catches missed claims. They overlap heavily — the call is focus vs breadth.
Does Brevity charge a setup fee?
On its published pricing, the entry Lite plan has none, but the Business and Enterprise tiers do. Rostrel has no setup fee on any plan. Check current pricing on brevity.com.au.
Do both products do NDIS claiming?
Yes — both generate NDIS bulk payment requests for PRODA. Brevity also offers a direct NDIS API path and a plan-management module. Both cover claiming well.
Can I switch from Brevity to Rostrel?
Yes — moving from Brevity to Rostrel is designed to be low-friction. We help you bring your participants, workers and rosters across, there's no lock-in contract and no setup fee, and most providers are up and running within a couple of weeks. Tell us what you're running now and we'll map out exactly how the switch would work for your team.
Is Rostrel cheaper than Brevity?
It depends on your team shape. Many NDIS tools charge per worker or per user, which adds up fast if you run a large casual workforce. Rostrel charges per active participant with unlimited workers — Starter from $299/mo, Growth $349/mo and Scale $699/mo, plus a free tier for one-person providers — so your bill tracks participants, not headcount. For most small-to-mid providers with lots of casuals that works out lower. Run your own numbers on our pricing page.
