    How AI Can Transform NDIS Compliance Forever

    Most NDIS providers believe they're compliant. But what if the biggest compliance risks aren't being caused by bad staff, poor care, or lack of effort? What if they're hidden inside fragmented systems, missing evidence, disconnected data, and risks that nobody can see until it's too late? In this episode of the Steadway NDIS Podcast, Chris Hall sits down with Max King, Founder and Executive Chairman of Auscare Support and Founder of Kortado, a compliance platform built specifically for NDIS and Aged Care providers. Together, they explore how AI, automation, and emerging technologies could fundamentally change the way providers manage compliance, risk, audits, governance, and participant outcomes.  #NDIS #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #Compliance #NDISProviders #SupportCoordination #DisabilityServices #AgenticAI #AgedCare #RiskManagement #Governance #BusinessSystems #Technology #NDISBusiness #Innovation
