Designed for the realities of dental practice
Dental clinic rostering isn't the same as office scheduling. Practices deal with multiple surgery rooms, varying appointment lengths, registration requirements and award compliance — often all at once.
Balancing dentists, hygienists and assistants
AHPRA registration tracking
Multiple surgery room coverage
Health Professionals Award compliance
Aligning staff with appointment bookings
Tracking radiation licences and CPD
Dental clinic rostering that matches appointments
Creating rosters in dental clinics means balancing practitioner availability, surgery room coverage, costs and compliance — often based on appointment bookings. RosterElf helps practice managers make informed rostering decisions upfront, not react after payroll.
- Build rosters that align with appointment bookings
- Assign staff based on qualifications, skills and availability
- Reduce overstaffing and understaffing
- Identify compliance risks before shifts are published
Also built for healthcare and aged care
Whether you operate a single dental practice or multiple locations, RosterElf scales with your healthcare operation.
Time and attendance for dental practices
In dental clinics, accurate time tracking across surgeries and reception is critical. RosterElf gives practice managers confidence that what was rostered matches what was worked.
- Clock in and out using mobile devices or shared tablets
- Photo verification and GPS tracking for multi-site practices
- Track hours across surgeries and reception accurately
- Convert worked hours into payroll-ready timesheets
Dental award compliance, made simpler
Australian health awards are complex. The Health Professionals Award has specific penalty rates, overtime rules and allowances. RosterElf helps reduce compliance risk by flagging potential issues early.
