Local Care Solutions: Custom Aged Care Software
How a dedicated Lanex developer helped Local Care Solutions build and scale their care management platform for the Australian aged care sector.
The Challenge
Local Care Solutions provides home care and community care services across Australia. As the organisation grew, their existing processes — spreadsheets, disconnected systems, manual reporting — were creating bottlenecks in care coordination, compliance documentation, and staff scheduling.
They needed a custom software platform purpose-built for Australian aged care: one that handled care plans, incident reporting, NDIS billing, and rostering within a single integrated system.
The Lanex Engagement
Lanex placed a dedicated full-stack developer from the Philippines directly into the Local Care Solutions team. Rather than engaging a development agency on a project basis, the organisation chose to hire a developer who would become a long-term member of their team — understanding the business, the regulatory environment, and the specific workflows of Australian aged care.
The developer joined the team on a flat monthly rate, attended internal meetings, worked in the organisation's tools, and reported directly to the product lead.
What Was Built
Over the engagement, the dedicated developer built and maintained:
- Care plan management — digital care plans linked to individual clients, reviewable and auditable for compliance
- Incident and feedback recording — structured incident capture aligned with aged care quality standards
- NDIS and Home Care Package billing — automated claim generation and budget tracking per client
- Staff rostering and scheduling — shift management with availability matching and compliance checks
- Client and family portal — secure access for clients and authorised family members to view care schedules and progress notes
- Reporting dashboard — real-time operational reporting for coordinators and management
Results
The platform replaced a fragmented mix of spreadsheets and third-party tools with a single system designed around how the organisation actually works. Coordinator time spent on administrative tasks reduced significantly. Compliance documentation became audit-ready by default. Billing errors dropped as manual entry was replaced by automated claim generation.
The developer continues as a full-time member of the Local Care Solutions team, maintaining the platform and building new features as the organisation grows.
