Honest comparisons
SRTD vs writing your own notes in Word
If you're still writing case notes in Word or Google Docs, the real question isn't whether AI is better. It's whether 8-15 minutes per note is worth more than $25/month.
The headline
Same NDIS-format notes. 1/20th of the time. The maths is the whole pitch.
| Feature | SRTD Tools | Writing it yourself |
|---|---|---|
| Time per case noteHeadline | ~30 seconds | 8-15 minutes typing |
| Voice memo → NDIS-format note | Yes | Type every word |
| Compliance language built in (NDIS Practice Standards) | Yes | You remember it - or don't |
| Format presets (STAR, SOAP, phone log, NDIA call log, incident, behaviour) | Yes | Build your own templates |
| Participant goals auto-referenced in each note | Yes | Retyped each time |
| Cross-participant search of your past notes | Yes | Folder browsing |
| Australian English + NDIS terms by default | Yes | Your habits, your typos |
| Audit-defensible structure across every note | Yes | Depends on the day you had |
| Monthly cost | $25 (Bundle) | Free + ~80-120 mins/week of your time |
| Billable time unlocked / monthHeadline | ~50 hrs across a 30-participant caseload (admin freed + billable work) | Not framed this way |
The honest verdict
If you genuinely enjoy the writing part of the job and have plenty of time for it, keep going - SRTD won't change your life. If you find yourself catching up on notes after dinner, on weekends, or quietly skipping detail because the workload is too high, the maths is brutal in SRTD's favour. A typical 30-participant SC caseload writes 10-15 notes per week. At 8 minutes saved per note, that's 80-120 minutes per week back. At the NDIS Support Coordinator line rate of $100.14/hr, that's $533-$800 per month of capacity recovered. SRTD costs $25-$65/mo. The decision usually takes a day or two of trial use.
