How Accounts Work

Each account has one set of contacts that applies to all services on that account:

• Primary, Billing, and Secondary/Authorised Contacts

• Maintenance/Support Issues Contact

• Email recipient for Alarm Incident Reports

These details apply at the account level only — they cannot be customised per service.

If you need a subset of services invoiced separately or with different contacts for any of the above, you will need a separate account.

Common Reasons for Multiple Accounts

1. Regional or Branch Offices

Some providers operate across multiple regions. Each region may require:

• Its own invoice, and/or

• Its own Alarm Incident Reports sent to local staff.

2. Different Entities or Divisions

Some providers operate under multiple business entities (e.g. one for in-home care and another for residential aged care). Each entity requires its own account.

Helpful Tip – Vanity Identifiers

Whenever you submit a new service order, you’ll be asked to assign a Vanity Identifier.

• This is your own unique reference for the service subscription.

• It appears on invoices and reports, helping you easily reconcile our billing with your own records.

• We recommend using your internal Care Recipient Identifier.
  
  

Key Things to Remember

• Each account is separate — there are no sub-accounts.

• If you need multiple accounts for the same entity, please provide a unique Trading Name for each.

  • Example:

    • Oakview Home Assistance – South East Sydney

    • Oakview Home Assistance – Hunter New England

• When in doubt, ask yourself:

  • Will all services share the same billing, support, and incident report contacts?

    • Yes → One account is sufficient.

    • No → A new account is required.
      
      

Helpful Tip – Use Role-Based Email Addresses

This ensures:

• Multiple staff can receive critical communications, such as Incident Reports

• You avoid disruption if an individual staff member takes leave or resigns

• Your organisation can quickly redirect critical communications without waiting for account changes to be processed
