Healthcare Rostering Software
Healthcare Rostering Software Designed for Healthcare Teams
Anyone who has worked in a hospital, aged care facility or community health service knows that healthcare rostering can be a nightmare. One last-minute sick call, and suddenly managers are making frantic phone calls, staff are stretched too thin and patient care is at risk.
Old-fashioned spreadsheets simply can’t keep up with the pace of modern healthcare. Core Schedule’s healthcare rostering software is built specifically for this environment. It gives managers a smarter way to plan, while making life easier for staff who need clarity, fairness and the ability to manage their own schedules without the chaos.
The Benefits of Our Healthcare Rostering Software
Smarter Scheduling
Instead of spending hours trying to balance shifts manually, Core Schedule lets you create safe, compliant rosters in minutes. The system checks for errors before you publish, so you don’t get caught with unqualified staff in the wrong spot (or with no staff at all).
Rostering & Scheduling
Healthcare rosters are complex. Different skills, award rates and availability make the process a constant juggle. Core Schedule helps you allocate shifts fairly while still meeting patient demand, so your teams aren’t overworked and your staff coverage is consistent.
Trades & Coverage
The dreaded group text thread is gone. Staff can request swaps or offer to cover colleagues directly through the platform, while managers approve with a click. You’ll always know where you’re short on coverage before it becomes a crisis.
Templates & Development
If your week looks similar from one roster to the next, Core Schedule’s templates save you from re-entering the same information. Reusable patterns reduce errors and give your team a reliable, consistent schedule.
Why Healthcare Organisations Choose Core Schedule
- Keeps patient care front and centre by preventing staffing gaps
- Saves managers hours of admin every week
- Helps reduce burnout with fairer, more transparent rosters
- Integrates with payroll and HR, so hours match pay without double-handling
