Publishing rechecks every blocker and any recorded provider exception.
From an open shift to a published roster.
01
Build the period
Plan shifts and review assignments. Use optimiser proposals and open-shift responses to work through gaps.
02
Resolve what needs attention
Review the period’s blockers, warnings and information items. Inspect the detail and suggested actions before deciding what to change.
03
Publish and follow through
Publishing rechecks unresolved blockers and makes assigned shifts available to workers. Review notification outcomes and manage subsequent changes.
Residential care
Plan coverage against your home’s care targets.
Keep home-specific care-minute targets and RN coverage alongside roster planning. Follow through with recorded time to understand what was delivered.
Explore the care minutes calculator- Home-specific targets
- Use the total-care and RN targets allocated to your home for the reporting period, rather than treating the sector average as a universal target.
- Delivered care
- Review eligible roles, activities and recorded time before interpreting a care-minute result.
- Continuous RN coverage
- Identify gaps separately from the care-minute total. A sufficient number of RN minutes does not establish continuous presence.
The detail behind a workable roster.
Worker readiness
Bring qualification, screening and credential records into roster decisions. Resolve missing or expired evidence with the people responsible for the worker.
Roster optimiser
Compare proposed assignments, changes, unfilled slots and forecast cost before applying an optimisation run. Inspect hard blockers and retain the manager’s decision.
Open shifts and replacements
Offer a shift to candidates, follow worker responses and confirm the replacement. Keep the offer’s status visible while you resolve the gap.
Award-aware costing
Consider shift cost alongside coverage. Carry reviewed hours into payroll preparation, with classification and employment details available for checking.
Home-care travel
Account for the time between visits when planning community work. Review travel alongside scheduled care and the worker’s day.
Roster health
Investigate planning issues and incomplete records before publication. Separate blockers from warnings so coordinators know what needs action.
Aged care rostering, explained.
What is the 215 care minutes target?
The sector-wide benchmark is 215 minutes, including 44 RN minutes, per resident per day. Residential care homes have allocated total-care and registered-nurse care-minute targets based on their resident case mix. Plan and review delivery against the targets assigned to your home for the relevant reporting period, using the Department’s home-level care-minutes data. Sector averages are not uniform targets for every home.
Does Statura Care calculate SCHADS Award pay rates?
Statura supports award-aware costing and payroll preparation, including SCHADS calculations. Review the worker’s applicable award, classification, employment arrangements, rates and shift details before approving pay. A roster cost estimate is not a final payroll result.
How does care minutes tracking work?
Statura connects planned and recorded staffing with your home’s configured care-minute targets. Review eligible worker categories, activities, time allocation and the reporting period before approving a calculation. Planned shifts show intended coverage; recorded care and its eligibility determine delivered minutes.
Can it manage 24/7 RN coverage?
RN coverage can be reviewed alongside roster planning to identify gaps for the team to resolve. Continuous RN coverage and RN care-minute targets are separate measures. Publishing a roster does not prove that every shift was worked or that continuous coverage was delivered.
What happens before a roster is published?
The period review presents blockers, warnings and information items. Publishing rechecks blockers and recorded provider exceptions; unresolved blockers prevent publication. Managers can inspect the details and suggested actions before publishing and then review worker notification outcomes.
