We have a UK-specific site with local content and compliance information.
Schedule clinical and reception teams around patient demand, keep registrations current and control wage costs — without enterprise complexity.
Clinical and admin staff scheduling
Registration and qualification tracking
Integrates with Xero and MYOB
A clinic roster has to match practitioner availability to patient bookings, and the practitioner is the constraint that everything else is built around.
Rosters tied to patient bookings
AHPRA registrations that gate practice
Extended and weekend hours
Reception and clinical on different patterns
Locum and casual cover
Multiple sites and practitioners
Healthcare scheduling software has to cover two workforces at once: practitioners whose time is booked, and support staff whose time is covered.
Built around bookings, not around a template week
Schedule clinical sessions against booking patterns and reception around opening hours, with the combined wage cost visible as you build.
General practice, pathology, chiropractic and allied health each schedule differently, and one roster has to hold all of them.
General practice runs on the appointment book: GP sessions, practice nurses and reception all have to line up against it.
Sessions, not shifts
Schedule GP sessions against booking patterns and build nursing and reception around them, with locum cover arranged from a known pool rather than a phone tree.
A dedicated medical centre scheduling page covers general practice in more detail.
Collection centres open early and run on one or two collectors, so a single absence closes the door.
One collector short is one centre closed
Template each collection centre’s opening pattern and arrange cover the day before rather than at 7am.
A chiropractic practice is practitioner-led: the treatment room is the constraint and reception is built around it.
Built around treatment rooms
Schedule practitioner sessions against booking patterns and reception around opening hours.
Allied health and autism services schedule therapists against client plans, which makes continuity as important as coverage.
Plans, not just hours
Schedule therapists against client plans with the same clinician kept where continuity matters, and track NDIS-funded time separately.
Where staff move between sites, the timesheet has to know which one they were at.
Mobile or reception terminal clock-in
Staff clock in on their phone or at a reception terminal, and worked hours are compared against the roster before they become timesheets.
Penalty rates, overtime and break rules vary by day, time, employment type and shift length — and one week’s roster touches most of them.
Health Professionals and Support Services Award (MA000027) — pay rates by period
| Period | Full-time & part-time | Casual |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary hours (Mon–Fri) | 100% | 125% |
| Saturday (all day) | 150% | 175% |
| Sunday (all day) | 150% | 175% |
| Public holiday | 250% | 275% |
Casual rates are set by the award directly, not by adding a loading to the permanent rate. Rates change each 1 July; the full breakdown by classification, junior age and allowance is in the health professionals award pay guide. Always verify against Fair Work.
Approved hours should reach the pay run without being re-keyed, penalties and all.

The best healthcare scheduling software covers clinical and support staff in one roster, holds AHPRA registrations so an unregistered practitioner cannot be scheduled, handles extended and weekend hours, and exports to payroll without re-keying. RosterElf applies the Health Professionals and Support Services Award.
Build them against different drivers in one roster — clinical sessions follow booking patterns, reception follows opening hours — so the combined labour cost is visible before the week is published rather than at payroll.
Yes. Registrations, police checks and immunisation records are held per person with expiry alerts, and staff without current registration are not offered the sessions that require it.
