Rostering & workforce

Rostering and scheduling that match the right carer to the right need

Ontvine is configurable rostering software for aged care, home care and disability providers. Match staff skills to care needs, schedule shifts and home-care visits, link rosters to care minutes, and model award/SCHADS-aware rules — all on one connected model you shape, not a fixed module.

The right carer, the right place, the right time

Good rosters are about more than filling slots. In care, the staff member on shift needs the right skills, qualifications and continuity for the person in front of them — and the roster has to hold up against awards, care minutes and the day-to-day reality of leave, swaps and no-shows. Most care scheduling software treats the roster as a standalone grid, disconnected from the care it's meant to deliver.

Ontvine takes a different path. Rostering is part of one connected model that already knows your people, their skills, your clients and the care they need. You build the scheduling rules your service actually runs on — and when an award or a care-minute target moves, you adjust the model rather than waiting on a vendor release.

What you can model in Ontvine

Each area below is a starting point you can shape — not a locked module. Build the rostering and scheduling processes your service runs across residential, home and community care.

Staff & skills matching

Model your people with their skills, qualifications, certifications and availability, so the right carer can be matched to the care each shift or visit needs.

Shift & visit scheduling

Build shifts, runs and home-care visits, then schedule and adjust them with the rules, checks and approvals your service relies on.

Linked to care minutes

Connect rostered care to mandatory care minutes, so you can see planned coverage against the targets that apply to your home.

Home-care visits

Schedule visits and runs for clients in their own homes, matching travel, continuity and the services in each care plan.

Award/SCHADS-aware rules

Model award and SCHADS conditions — shift types, breaks, minimum engagements and penalty rules — as configurable scheduling logic you adjust as awards change.

Changes & notifications

Handle leave, swaps and last-minute changes, and route the right notifications to affected staff through your own workflow.

Why configurable beats fixed modules

Rostering rules are rarely the same twice. A residential home, a community-nursing team and a disability provider each schedule differently, and every one of them lives with awards that change, care-minute targets that tighten, and a workforce that calls in sick. Fixed-module rostering software forces all of that into someone else's grid — and makes you wait on the vendor every time a rule moves.

Ontvine is built on a living model you control. Define your own staff, skills, shifts, visits and the rules that connect them; automate the checks and notifications that follow a roster change; and let the built-in AI assistant suggest rules and workflows as you build — always with a person approving the change. It's configuration with a co-pilot, not autopilot, and it keeps your roster connected to the care it delivers.

FAQ

Rostering & scheduling questions

Does it do aged care rostering and home-care visit scheduling?

Yes — both. Ontvine is one configurable model, so residential aged care rostering and home-care visit scheduling live on the same platform. You model shifts, runs and visits, the skills each one needs, and the people who can fill them — rather than running two disconnected systems.

Can rosters link to mandatory care minutes?

Yes. Because rosters and care delivery sit in one connected model, you can link rostered care to mandatory care minutes and see planned coverage against the targets that apply to your home. As the targets change, you adjust the model rather than waiting on a vendor release. More on AN-ACC & care minutes →

Is it award/SCHADS-aware?

You can model award and SCHADS rules — shift types, breaks, minimum engagements and penalty conditions — as part of your scheduling logic, and adjust them as awards change. Ontvine is a configurable platform you shape, not a certified payroll or award-interpretation engine, so award outcomes should always be confirmed against the relevant instrument and your payroll system.

Does it work for mobile and field staff?

Ontvine is a mobile-friendly web platform, so field and community staff can view their rosters, visits and run sheets from a phone or tablet wherever they are working — no separate install required.

Is our data stored in Australia?

Yes. Ontvine is Australian-owned and hosted in Australia, so your data stays onshore.
