Splana Groundwork · In pre-launch
Policies built around how you actually work — so you're compliant from day one and your mid-term audit is already half-done.
Splana Groundwork is Splana's subscription tool for small NDIS providers who need audit-ready documentation without hiring a compliance manager. Built by NDIS operators, for NDIS operators.
Unregistered SIL providers must submit applications by 1 October 2026. Splana Groundwork is designed for exactly that situation.
How to read this tool
Splana Groundwork is a tool for building and maintaining audit-ready documentation, not a warranty. It supports your compliance work but does not replace human review. All documentation should be reviewed by a qualified compliance professional before submission or reliance.
What it does
Four capabilities, working together.
Policies built for your actual operation
Answer structured questions about how your operation runs, and Splana Groundwork produces policy documentation that matches your practice — not generic templates that create audit drift.
Your audit trail builds itself
Splana Groundwork captures the evidence-of-practice records that auditors specifically test for. When your mid-term audit comes, the documentation is already assembled — you're not rebuilding from scratch under time pressure.
Know when your compliance posture is drifting
As NDIS Commission requirements evolve and as your operation changes (new staff, new participants, new service lines), Splana Groundwork flags where your documentation is drifting out of alignment. Fix small gaps before they become audit findings.
Built to work with your compliance advisor
Splana Groundwork doesn't replace human review. It structures your documentation so that when you bring in a compliance professional for review, their time is spent on judgement — not on gathering evidence.
Who it's for
This is for you if
- You run a small NDIS provider (typically under $2M revenue) with limited administrative capacity
- You know audit-readiness matters but don't have the time or budget for a full compliance consultant
- You are one of the ~3,500 unregistered SIL providers who need to apply by 1 October 2026
- You want ongoing compliance monitoring, not a one-time consulting engagement
- You prefer subscription pricing that scales with your operation, not fixed-fee consulting
This is not for you if
- You're a mid-market provider ($5M+ revenue) — Splana's consulting services are calibrated to your scale
- You're looking for a compliance consultant to do the work FOR you — Splana Groundwork is a tool you use, not a service someone else delivers
- You need bespoke registration preparation for complex multi-site operations — that's Registration Premium ($6,997) territory (see services)
- You're a competitor evaluating the product. Please don't waste your time.

Why we're building this
Splana's consulting work has always focused on mid-market providers where structural change requires human expertise. But we've seen consistently that small providers face the same compliance requirements without the operational scale to justify consulting engagements. The result: small providers either overpay for consulting they don't need, or under-invest in compliance and carry audit risk they can't sustain.
Splana Groundwork is our answer. It packages the compliance frameworks Splana developed in consulting work into a subscription tool that small providers can use directly — with the same operator-grounded methodology, at a price point calibrated to your operational scale. It's not a replacement for professional judgement. It's a tool that makes professional judgement more efficient when you need it.
