Employment Hero’s rostering software makes complicated shift requirements a breeze

Rostering in healthcare and social services can be complicated – patients’ needs change frequently and your roster must adapt quickly.

Allocate shifts, review shift bids, stay across shift swaps, and gain visibility over overtime pay and scheduling conflicts.

Seamlessly manage staff certifications and learning all in one place

Stay ahead of regulatory requirements with reminders about upcoming certification renewals. Whether it’s maintaining privacy standards or managing health and safety requirements, document everything in-platform.

Maintain a healthy budget when rostering, so you can focus on the health of those you serve

Our budgeting feature helps you track your spending on staff salaries and wages, including costly public holiday pay and overtime support. That way, you can focus on quality care for your patients – not paperwork.

Reduce employee burnout and improve engagement

Fast-paced environments and workforce shortages often lead to burnout and disengagement. With features like our EAP add-on, automated shift swapping, and a range of professional development tools, Employment Hero empowers your team to find better work-life balance.
