For small providers
Compliance software for a provider with no dedicated compliance team.
CORA's published pricing starts at 15 workers, with no sales call required to see the number, built for a provider where the director, the coordinator or the team leader is also the person chasing training. The Practice Standards do not apply less to a small provider. What a small provider usually has less of is a spare person to build and maintain a training register by hand.
What changes when there is no compliance team?
At a larger provider, one role usually owns the training register, the credential expiry chasing and the audit prep. At a 15 to 40 worker provider, that job is usually shared between whoever is rostering, whoever is doing intake, and whoever remembers it is nearly audit time. CORA is built so none of that depends on one person's memory.
Role and site pathways assign the right courses to a new starter automatically, once set up. Reminders for due, overdue and expiring training and credentials are automated and land as one email a worker, not a spreadsheet someone checks on a Friday. The audit view lists what a Certification or Verification audit asks for in the Standard's own words, against what is already held, outstanding items first.
Is CORA overkill for a small NDIS provider?
No, and the pricing is built around the opposite assumption. The per-seat rate steps down as a workforce grows, not up, so a 15-worker Foundations provider pays $65 a seat and a 1,000-worker one pays $17. A small provider gets the full course library, pathways, reminders, the credential register and the exportable audit records, the same records a Certification audit asks for regardless of how many workers hold them.
Capability, with the on-demand Workforce Capability Report added, runs $1,725 a year at 15 workers, $115 a seat. The full 16-band ladder for both plans, up to 1,000 workers, is published on the pricing page, no quote required.
Starting from a spreadsheet, not from nothing
Most small providers switching to CORA already have something, a spreadsheet of certificates, a folder of scanned screening checks, a training plan in someone's head. Credentials and in-person training records import in bulk, landing as the same kind of record CORA builds from a fresh upload, so day one looks like year four of records rather than an empty system.

Common questions
CORA's published pricing starts at a band for up to 15 workers. Foundations runs $975 a year at that size, $65 per seat. There is no minimum seat count enforced and no sales call required to see a price, the full ladder is published on the pricing page.
No. CORA is built so a director, coordinator or team leader without a dedicated quality role can run it: role and site pathways assign the right courses automatically, reminders chase overdue training without anyone remembering to, and the audit view lists what a Certification or Verification audit asks for against what is already held.
The Practice Standards apply the same way to a 15-worker provider as to a 500-worker one. A small provider usually has less slack to absorb a training register built the week before an audit, not more, which is why the seat-band price steps down with size rather than starting high.
Yes. The Foundations plan covers the course library, pathways, reminders and exportable completion certificates, without the credential register or the Workforce Capability Report. A provider can add Capability later without moving platforms or re-entering worker data.
Credentials and in-person training records import in bulk from a spreadsheet a provider already keeps, so day one looks like year four of records rather than an empty system.
