Alyv does NOT charge for Provider travel (to get to and from your home).

Alyv does NOT charge for any establishment or set up costs.


Cancellations, Bookings and Ending This Agreement

The Alyv cancellation policy required you to give one clear business day notice for cancellations in order to not inccur a cancellation fee.

If a cancellation is made with less than one clear business days notice, Alyv will charge 100% of the agreed booking value.

For example, if you wish to cancel a booking on a Friday, we will need notice of this within business hours on the preceding Wednesday. 

Our business days are Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm excluding public holidays.


Alyv will work with you to minimise late cancellations and we will offer you alternatives where possible. We will also make all efforts to ensure your wellbeing in the event that you don't attend a booking and have not given us any notice. This may include calling you, your emergency contacts or other people you have nominated or requesting a welfare check.


We promise to make every effort to reallocate your worker to other billable work and where we are successful you will not be charged for your cancellation.

Alyv will work with you to develop a roster of supports. This roster is how we will plan your services and staff availability.

Should you need any one off changes, please contact Alyv as soon as possible so we can plan for additional supports. We recommend at least two weeks notice so we can plan for one of your preferred staff members to be available to you. Changes and additions to the roster with less than two weeks notice cant be guaranteed but we will always try our best.

Should you need to permenantly change your bookings, please provide two weeks notice, although we will always try to facilitate these changes much sooner.

Alyv has developed a digital booking form where you can submit any requests or changes. Our staff can also complete this for you over the phone or will complete this when you submit a request for a change of your regular services. 
This form will be sent to you for your records and will form part of your agreement with Alyv untill you change it. This will ensure you have a written record of the booking requests at all times.

Should any changes to this agreement be needed, Alyv will discuss these in an open and transparent way to ensure your needs are met.

Should you wish to cancell this agreement we are happy to negotiate the cancellation period. If you are no longer needing our services you can cancel future bookings as per our cancellation policy and we can end services immediately.

Alternatively you can choose a future date, and we can work with your new supports to hand over and train them up until this time.


Invoicing and Payments

All parties agree that Alyv is an independent provider and will make invoices for services to be sent to self managed and plan managed participants and/or their nominees. 

We can not claim funds directly from NDIA for Agency Managed participants.


Alyv will be responsible for creating accurate invoices on a weekly or fortnightly basis and the participant will be responsible for the payment of these invoices. All claims with the NDIA are the Participant's responsibility and, should the NDIA reject a claim for services, the Participant would be responsible for the payment of any invoices outstanding. 

Alyv will make all efforts to ensure invoices are acceptable by the NDIA, and Plan Managers, Participants and their nominees are responsible for managing their NDIA budgets and advising us if any changes to services are needed due to funding.

  • The Participant’s NDIS Plan is expected to remain in effect during the period the Services are provided; and

  • The Participant/Participant’s Representative will immediately notify the Provider if the Participant’s NDIS Plan is replaced by a new Plan or the Participant stops being a participant in the NDIS.
