A lot of rostering admin is repetitive and rule-based, which is exactly the kind of work software should do for you. Rostery's shift automations let you set rules that trigger actions automatically, freeing coordinators from routine busywork.
Shift automations — how it works
Define rules for recurring and automatic actions around shifts, and let Rostery apply them as conditions are met. This removes the need to remember and perform routine steps by hand, keeping your operation consistent even when things are busy.
Why it matters for NDIS providers
Consistency and speed matter when you're coordinating care at scale. Automating routine shift actions reduces errors, saves coordinator time, and ensures the same steps happen every time.
- Less busywork: routine actions run automatically.
- Consistency: rules apply the same way every time.
- More coordinator time: staff focus on judgement, not repetition.

Who it's for
Shift Automations suits Australian NDIS, disability and aged-care providers of every size — from solo coordinators to multi-site organisations running multiple registered entities. Operations 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
Shift Automations 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.
