Workforce Management Softwarefor Australian Aged Care

Purpose-built for Australian aged care compliance - manage staff rostering, track care minutes against your 215-minute daily target, automate Aged Care Award payroll and build your own casual carer pool. All in one platform.

Managing Your Aged Care Workforce Shouldn't Be This Hard

Running aged care staff on 24/7 rosters means navigating the Aged CareAward, SCHADS Award and Nurses Award simultaneously - each with their ownpenalty rates, allowances and classification changes. And now your care minutesdelivery is published as part of your Star Rating. Get the staffing wrong andresidents, families and the ACQSC all notice.

Why Simplifi is different from other workforce management platforms:

  • Purpose-built compliance - Aged Care Award, SCHADS, care minutes andACQSC-ready records by default, not a configuration project
  • Real-time care minutes - know your 215-min position before an ACQSCvisit, not during one
  • Accurate payroll - penalty rates calculated automatically acrossevery award, every shift
  • No agencies needed - build your own casual pool, fill gaps in minutes

Why Simplifi is different

Purpose-built aged care compliance software -  NZ aged care standards, MECA, and Holiday Act built in, not bolted on

Blocks non-compliant rostering -  System won't let you schedule staff with expired certifications

Accurate payroll, every time — Penal rates, overtime, and allowances calculated automatically

No agencies needed - Build and manage your own casual staff pool

Managing aged care staff means juggling 24/7 rosters, last-minute gaps, certification tracking, and complex NZ payroll rules - all while keeping residents safe.
Generic platforms weren't built for this. They require expensive configuration, don't understand MECA agreements or the NZ Holiday Act, and often send inaccurate data to payroll.
