This release includes several fixes to the Pay Cat payroll export for Xero and MYOB, along with an update to how Visualcare connects to Employment Hero.
Employment Hero connection
Employment Hero has changed how applications sign in to its platform. We have updated Visualcare to use Employment Hero's new sign-in process, so we can keep connecting to your Employment Hero account.
Pay Cat Connect
Xero export
We have made two improvements to the Pay Cat Connect export to Xero.
First, if one line cannot be exported (for example, a worker with a missing mapping), the rest of the export now goes through and only the problem lines are left for you to fix, so a single line no longer blocks the whole batch.
Second, we have fixed an intermittent server error that could cause a Xero export to fail. Together these make exporting to Xero more reliable.
MYOB export
Fixed an issue where the Pay Cat Connect export to MYOB could fail for every line with a "No data available for export" message. Exports to MYOB now process correctly.
Select All across pages
On the Pay Cat Connect export page,
Select All
only selected the workers on the page you were viewing, so you had to select workers page by page.
Select All
now selects every worker across all pages in one action.
The AFL Grand Final public holiday for Victoria, Friday 25 September 2026, was missing from the Victorian public holiday list. It has now been added, so shifts on that day are treated as a public holiday and the correct rates and rules apply.
This release fixes a false failure message on the MYOB export from the Support at Home invoicing page.
MYOB Export (Support at Home invoicing)
Fixed an issue where exporting an invoice to MYOB from the Support at Home invoicing page could show an "Export Failed" message even when the invoice had already been sent to MYOB successfully. Exports now report their real result, so a successful export is no longer flagged as failed and you no longer need to check MYOB to confirm it went through.
Fixed an issue where CHSP respite sessions could include meal detail fields even when no meal was provided, which caused the DEX file to be rejected. Meal details are now only included when Meal Provided is set to Yes. Meal Delivery services are unaffected and always include meal details, as required.
This release fixes a timesheet saving issue for providers with large numbers of timesheets, a problem where tasks created by a workflow were not appearing in the app, and a Pay Cat allowance export issue.
Timesheets
Fixed an issue where the Save Changes button on the All Timesheets page could stay greyed out after running Calc KM, particularly for providers with a large number of timesheets. Saving now processes reliably and the button no longer gets stuck, so your changes save as expected.
Notes and Tasks
Fixed an issue where tasks created automatically by a workflow (such as Agreement Alert) were not showing on the Client Profile, in the Notes Report, or in Tasks search, even though they had been created. These tasks now appear in the relevant screens for the assigned user.
Pay Cat
Fixed an issue where exporting allowances to Xero through Pay Cat could fail with a generic error and no detail. Allowance exports now handle larger employee lists correctly and return the actual Xero error message when something goes wrong, making any issues easier to resolve.
This release brings CHSP DEX Stage 3 reporting support live and a fix for Support at Home dashboard figures.
CHSP DEX Stage 3 Reporting
CHSP DEX Stage 3 session-level reporting is now live. This covers the new mandatory fields required in DEX submissions (session location, meals, subcontractor/volunteer status and more). A banner in-app will guide affected customers, and full detail is available in the support centre:
Session Location (Home or Community) configuration
The Stage 3 functionality is enabled for most CHSP providers with this release. One field, Session Location, does not have a default value and must be set on the services that use it (Meal delivery, Flexible respite, and Individual social support). If one of these services is reported without Session Location set, the DEX export will return an error.
For this reason, providers who have DEX activities which require Session Location must configure their Session Location fields before we are able to enable Stage 3 within Visualcare. Please follow the guidance in the Support Centre articles above to configure these fields. All other providers are enabled on release.
Support at Home Dashboards
Fixed an issue where Planned Spend figures could differ between the Individual SAH Dashboard and the SAH Organisation Dashboard after a budget refresh. Both dashboards will now update automatically and show consistent figures, with no need to manually refresh the Organisation Dashboard.
Our second July release is now live with updated Support at Home quoting rates, fixes for the SAGE invoice export and Support at Home statements.
Support at Home Quotes
Updated the Support at Home quote tool with the government's Schedule of Subsidies and Supplements effective 1 July 2026. Quotes dated on or after 1 July 2026 will automatically use the new classification and supplement rates, while quotes dated earlier will keep the previous rates so existing quotes are unchanged.
SAGE Invoice Export
Fixed issues where the SAGE invoice export could apply GST to GST-free lines, pull through incorrect accounting codes for some line items, and export unit amounts lower than those recorded in Visualcare. Exported invoices will now reflect the rates, accounting codes, and tax settings configured in Visualcare, so exports no longer need to be corrected manually before loading into SAGE.
Support at Home Statements
Fixed an issue where a participant's Home Modifications budget was not shown on their statement, either as a budget graph or in the Budget Information section, even though the budget existed on the participant's record. Home Modifications budgets will now appear on statements alongside other budget types.
The updated NDIS Support Catalogue is now available in Visualcare. It reflects the 2026-27 NDIS pricing schedule released on 3 July 2026.
If you already updated your pricing before 14 July 2026, please follow the steps again. The NDIS has added new Support Items that were not included in the initial release.
What you need to do
Your existing pricing will not change automatically. When you are ready, update your NDIS pricing by following the steps in our guide: Update NDIS Pricing.
If you provide SIL housing
You will also need to update your Supported Independent Living (SIL) agreements to the new NDIS line items. Follow the steps in our guide: Update your SIL agreements to the new NDIS line items.

Release Notes: 8 Jul 2026

Our first July release is now live with fixes for several issues affecting the Support at Home Organisation Dashboard, Budgets, and Reconciliation and a fix for location rostering.
Support at Home Organisation Dashboard
  • Fixed an issue where the Planned Spend and Claimed Funds figures shown on the Organisation Dashboard did not match the figures produced when exporting the same view to CSV. The dashboard, drilldowns, and exports now draw from the same data and will show consistent figures.
  • Fixed an issue where the drilldown list under each funding type card was including items from all funding types rather than only the selected one, meaning the drilldown could not be reconciled against the card above it. Drilldowns will now show only items for the selected funding type.
  • Fixed an issue where organisation-level totals could exclude some participants' claimed and committed amounts, understating figures and allowing them to change between page loads. Totals are now calculated consistently across all participants.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the Planned Spend drilldown to fail to load with an error for some organisations.
Support at Home Budgets
  • Fixed an issue where new quarterly ongoing budgets received from the government API were not linked to the participant's existing funding agreement. This required agreements to be manually re-linked every quarter and could cause statements to fail to generate. New quarterly ongoing budgets will now automatically link to the same agreement as the previous quarter's budget, and a warning will be shown if the agreement's date range does not cover the new quarter.
Support at Home Reconciliation
  • Fixed an issue where uploading a payment file would fail with "Unable to parse payment file" when a free-text field in the file, such as a multi-line address in a transport line item, contained a line break. These files will now process successfully without needing to be manually edited.
Rostering
  • Fixed an issue where unassigning a worker from an assigned location roster invitation removed the invitation and created a duplicate location client shift that could not be reassigned to another worker. Unassigning a worker will now behave as expected.
This release introduces Pay Cat Connect, an integration that brings automated SCHADS Award interpretation into your rostering and payroll. Pay Cat handles the award interpretation, and Visualcare gives your rostering and payroll teams the cost visibility to act on it.
Pay Cat Connect adds two capabilities, depending on your plan.
Award Aware Rostering
See the real-time SCHADS cost of a shift while you are still on the client roster. When you assign a worker and interpret the shift, Pay Cat looks across the whole pay period, so if that worker has already picked up hours elsewhere, you see the overtime, broken shift or minimum engagement impact before you finalise the roster, not after payroll has run.
Timesheet Award Interpretation
Send approved timesheets to Pay Cat, review the interpreted costing grouped by worker, then export the costed payroll to Xero or MYOB.
Pay Cat's SCHADS Award interpretation has been independently audited by Effective HR and legally certified by SLF Lawyers, so your teams are working from award logic that has been verified by HR and legal specialists.
Pay Cat Connect replaces the legacy vAir interpretation and covers the full SCHADS Award, a significant upgrade on what vAir could do.
