About This Automation

Support worker rostering involves matching available, qualified workers to client shifts while checking care plan requirements and award rules. Doing this by hand across spreadsheets, texts, and calls creates constant back and forth and leaves little room for last minute changes.

An automated version matches workers to shifts, flags compliance risks, and chases confirmations without manual follow-up. The result is a roster that fills faster with fewer errors and less time spent tracking down replies.

Key features
Match available support workers to open shifts based on skills, ratios, and gender preference
Flag award, overtime, or fatigue rule risks before a shift offer goes out
Send shift offers automatically and track confirmations in real time
Follow up with unconfirmed workers until every shift is accounted for
Update the master roster the moment a shift is confirmed
Notify clients or family contacts of their confirmed support worker

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Daily Availability Sync Beginstrigger

The automation pulls updated availability and vacancy data each morning.

2. Coordinator Reviews Care Plan Updates

Coordinator confirms any care plan changes that affect staffing requirements before matching runs.

3. Match Workers To Shifts And Flag Compliance Risks

The matching pairs qualified, available workers to open shifts and flags any award or fatigue risk.

4. Save Draft Roster

The proposed roster is written back to the shared roster for visibility.

5. Send Shift Offers And Track Confirmations

The confirmation emails shift offers and automatically follows up with workers who have not replied.

6. Coordinator Fills Any Unconfirmed Shift

If a shift is still unconfirmed close to the deadline, the coordinator steps in to reassign it directly.

7. Update Master Roster And Notify Clients

The final locks in confirmed assignments and emails clients or family with the confirmed worker.
