Leave touches rostering, payroll and worker wellbeing all at once, so handling it in email and spreadsheets causes problems everywhere. Rostery brings leave requests, balances and approvals into the platform your team already uses.
NDIS leave management — how it works
Workers submit leave requests, see their balances, and managers approve or decline — all in Rostery. Because leave lives alongside rostering, approved leave is visible when you build the schedule, so you don't accidentally roster someone who's away.
Why it matters for NDIS providers
Clear leave handling prevents understaffed shifts, payroll surprises and frustrated workers. Keeping it in one place gives everyone a single source of truth.
- One process: requests, balances and approvals together, not scattered across inboxes.
- Roster-aware: approved leave shows up when you schedule.
- Transparency: workers can see their own balances at any time.
What's included
- Simple leave requests. Workers submit leave directly in Rostery.
- Visible balances. Workers and managers can see leave balances at a glance.
- Fast approvals. Managers approve or decline requests in one place.
- Roster-aware. Approved leave is visible when building the schedule.
- Fewer staffing gaps. Knowing who is away helps prevent under-staffed shifts.
Who it's for
Leave Management suits Australian NDIS, disability and aged-care providers of every size — from solo coordinators to multi-site organisations running multiple registered entities. HR teams, support workers and managers all work from the same live data across the Rostery web dashboard and the carer mobile app, so nothing falls through the cracks between the office and the field.
Getting started
Leave Management is included in your Rostery plan and works the moment your data is in — there's no separate module to buy or set up. Book a demo and we will show it on your own workflows, and use Rostery's "Smart Switch" data migration to bring your existing clients, staff, shifts and notes across from your current software in minutes. Our team can walk you through your specific participant types, funding mix and rostering complexity in a quick demo.
