Rostering & Scheduling
Build compliant rosters, control costs.
Rostering for aged care is uniquely complex — you need 24/7 RN coverage, SCHADS Award compliance, care minutes alignment, and cost control, all while managing leave and last-minute changes. Statura Care’s Rostering module brings it all together with built-in compliance validation.
The Challenge
Rostering aged care workers involves balancing regulatory requirements (24/7 RN, care minutes targets), industrial obligations (SCHADS Award rates, overtime limits), and operational realities (leave, sick calls, shift swaps). Doing this in spreadsheets is slow, error-prone, and expensive.
Key Capabilities
What the Rostering & Scheduling module does.
Roster Management
Build weekly and fortnightly rosters with drag-and-drop shift assignment. Template rosters for recurring patterns. View by facility, wing, or individual worker.
Shift Scheduling
Define shift types with start/end times, break requirements, and minimum staffing levels. Track shift fill rates and unfilled shifts with escalating alerts.
RN Coverage Validation
Real-time validation that every 24-hour period has at least one RN rostered. Coverage gaps are highlighted before the roster is published.
SCHADS Award Compliance
Built-in SCHADS Award pay calculation across all 27 SACS pay points (L1.1–L8.3) plus Schedule F Home Care Aged Care classifications (HCA1–HCA6). Penalty rates for evening, night, weekend, and public holiday shifts calculated per 15-minute segment.
Leave & Shift Swaps
Leave request workflow with balance tracking and approval management. Shift swap requests between workers with manager approval and compliance validation.
Cost Analysis
Real-time roster cost projections with base rate, penalties, overtime, and allowances. Compare actual vs budgeted labour costs by period.
Live Compliance View
How Rostering & Scheduling strengthens the live compliance picture.
Statura modules are modular for adoption, but connected for visibility. Work captured in this module can update the wider view of risk, evidence, deadlines and governance without a separate reporting exercise.
Captured at the source
Rostering & Scheduling activity becomes part of the shared operating record instead of sitting in a disconnected module.
Exceptions surface earlier
Deadlines, overdue actions, missing evidence and operational risk can be seen while there is still time to act.
Evidence stays current
Registers, reports and audit trails are strengthened by the work teams already complete each day.
The compliance view updates
Every connected workflow adds signal to the live compliance picture executives, managers and quality teams rely on.
Regulatory Requirements
What the law requires.
The Aged Care Act 2024 (Standard 2) sets specific obligations that this module helps you meet systematically.
24/7 RN Coverage
Rosters must ensure at least one RN is on-site at all times — no exceptions.
Care Minutes Alignment
Rostered hours must deliver sufficient care minutes to meet the 215/44 targets.
SCHADS Compliance
Rostering must comply with the SCHADS Award including maximum hours, minimum engagement, and penalty rates.
Works With
Better together.
When modules work together, intelligence compounds. Rostering & Scheduling integrates with these modules for a complete compliance picture.
Workforce Compliance
Worker qualifications and availability drive roster eligibility. Screening expiry prevents rostering non-compliant workers.
Care Delivery
Rostered hours feed into daily care minutes calculations for compliance tracking.
Billing & Finance
Roster costs flow into financial reporting and labour cost analysis.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How does SCHADS Award compliance checking work?
The module has built-in SCHADS Award pay calculation covering all 27 SACS pay points (L1.1 through L8.3) plus Schedule F Home Care Aged Care classifications (HCA1–HCA6). Penalty rates for evening, night, weekend, and public holiday shifts are calculated per 15-minute segment, so shifts spanning multiple penalty bands are costed accurately.
Does the roster validate 24/7 RN coverage before publishing?
Yes. The system checks every 24-hour period in the roster for at least one RN. Coverage gaps are highlighted before the roster is published so you can fill them proactively rather than discovering gaps when it is too late.
Can workers request shift swaps?
Yes. Workers can submit shift swap requests through the system. The swap goes through manager approval with automatic compliance validation — ensuring the swap does not create a screening gap, qualification mismatch, or RN coverage breach.
