If you are not providing Support Coordination, you may not need this feature
Budgets and implementations are designed to give Coordinators tools to track where they have implemented supports for their Participants. If you are not providing this service, you may not need to use Budgets or Implementations.
The first thing to do when tracking Implementations for a Participant is to add all of their NDIS budgets to Astalty. To do this, navigate to the NDIS plan you'd like to add implementations for and within the Implementations section, click Add Budgets.
Once on the budgets page, you should add every budget as listed in the NDIS plan - this should essentially be a digital copy of the NDIS plan.
Once all of the budgets have been added click Update and you will be taken back to the NDIS plan page. Here you can see all of the budgets and how much has been implemented. Once budgets have been created you can click the Update Budgets button to edit them and adjust the budgets if need be.
To manage Implementations with an NDIS plan, you must ensure all budgets have been created first. Then you can click Manage within the Implementations section.
Once you're in the Implementations page you will see a breakdown of each of your budgets as well as any existing Implementations.
To create your first implementation, click Add Implementation within the budget group you'd like to add an Implementation for. Within this form you will only be able to select from the Budgets you have created within the plan.
When you have selected the budget and added a name click Create and you will be taken to add more details about the implementation.
Select the Budget that this Implementation will be attached to.
