Director’s Report I’m pleased to report that BigDog delivered another record year in 2018, adding to the consistently strong results we’ve achieved since the introduction of the NDIS 2 years ago. 2018 saw us trial a number of software packages including Google Suite and Sling to manage our increased work loads and create user friendly information management and communication processes. These changes also saw us moving to a cloudbased accounting system and trailing QR code readers for identification and reporting. This will come together in January 2019 wit the integration of easy employer to manage payroll and rostering.
Our ability to keep investing in the future depends on delivering today. One challenge facing all NDIS Service Providers is transport. BigDog has significantly increased our fleet of vehicles to meet these needs and I’m confident that we will recover these costs through a combination of capacity, revenue and efficiency measures, whilst meeting our participants’ transport needs.
