MEDICAL CENTRES

Designed for the realities of medical centre work

A medical centre is staffed to consulting sessions, not to a working day, and the practice team around those sessions has to move with them.

Consulting sessions, not shifts

Reception cover every open hour

Practice nurse and treatment room coverage

AHPRA registrations and CPR currency

Extended hours and Saturday clinics

Mixed contractor and employee arrangements

CLINIC SCHEDULING

Medical centre scheduling built around consulting sessions

Practice rostering is session-shaped: a Tuesday with four GPs consulting needs a different treatment room and reception team from a Tuesday with two.

TIME TRACKING

Time and attendance for the practice team

Reception staying back past the last appointment is worked time, and it happens most days.

Attendance reconciled to the roster

Kiosk or mobile clock-in at the practice

Practice staff clock in at a kiosk or on their phone, and the hours actually worked reach payroll with the award applied.

  • Kiosk clock-in at reception with photo verification
  • Late finishes captured as worked time
  • Break rules applied for long clinic days
  • Worked hours convert straight into payroll-ready timesheets

AWARD COMPLIANCE

Medical centre award compliance, made simpler

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

Ordinary hours (Mon–Fri)100%125%
Saturday (all day)150%175%
Sunday (all day)150%175%
Public holiday250%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.

FAQ

Medical centre staff scheduling FAQ

  • The best practice scheduling software builds the roster from the consulting session plan rather than a fixed shift pattern, holds AHPRA registrations and CPR currency per person, covers reception and treatment rooms against the sessions actually running, and exports to payroll without re-keying. RosterElf does all four.

  • Against the session plan, not the opening hours. Nursing and treatment room demand follows how many clinicians are consulting, while reception has to hold the whole open period regardless — which is why one roster built on opening hours over-staffs one and under-staffs the other.

  • Yes. Registration and certification details are held per person with expiry alerts before the date, and staff without current registration are not offered the shifts that require it.
