Sparks Provider vs Splose
A Splose alternative for NDIS support providers
Splose is practice management software for allied health professionals, priced at $32 per practitioner a month plus GST on annual billing, so an NDIS provider who rosters support workers is usually better served by rostering software such as Sparks Provider, which is $499 a year including GST for the whole business (checked 14 November 2026).

Splose runs a therapy practice. Sparks Provider runs a support roster.
Splose describes itself as "Practice Management Software for Allied Health Professionals". It is built around appointments, clinical notes, online bookings and billing for therapists. Sparks Provider is built around the support roster: shifts, worker notes, timesheets, NDIS invoices, the NDIA bulk claim file and Xero.
Both can bill the NDIS and both link to Xero, which is why Splose turns up in NDIS software lists. They do different jobs. If your people are therapists seeing clients by appointment, choose Splose. If your people are support workers on shifts, read on.

Annual AUD including GST, checked 14 November 2026. Splose figures count each worker as a practitioner at the published rate plus 10% GST, and the owner as a free admin role. Add one seat if the owner also delivers supports. Splose is not built to roster support workers, so this shows what its pricing model would cost a support team, not a like-for-like product. AI and SMS add-ons are left out. Sparks Provider's optional SMS pack is separate. See your own team size on the pricing page.
