Workforce Management Software For Healthcare

Workforce management software for healthcare manages recruitment, onboarding, compliance, learning and performance for clinical and support staff, beside the rostering and payroll tools you already use. Sentrient shows practice and clinical managers who is cleared to see patients, which records fall due next and what is outstanding at every clinic. Hiring is covered in more depth on our healthcare applicant tracking software page.

Yes. Sentrient is built for Australian and New Zealand organisations, with Australian compliance courses, local support and records set up around Australian employment and health workforce obligations. Clinics, allied health and community health providers use it for clinicians and support staff, and it works beside Australian rostering and payroll systems rather than replacing them.

Most clinics run practice management software, a rostering tool and payroll, and Sentrient sits beside them rather than replacing them. Many still track registrations, checks and credentials in spreadsheets, and that is the gap Sentrient fills. Our overview of workforce management software features and our key workforce management considerations explain where it fits.

Sentrient does not build rosters, interpret the Health Services Award, run payroll, book patients or replace your practice management system. It manages recruitment, onboarding, compliance, learning and performance beside those tools. Our HR page for healthcare covers the HR team’s records, and our healthcare learning page covers course delivery in more depth.

Many health employers are covered by the Health Services Award, as the Fair Work Ombudsman’s award summary sets out, alongside the National Employment Standards, record-keeping, registration, privacy and work health and safety duties. Sentrient helps you keep evidence of onboarding, registrations, training and policy acknowledgement, but it does not interpret awards, and your organisation remains responsible for every obligation.

Sentrient records the checks your organisation runs, it does not run them. Ahpra’s public register lets anyone confirm a registered practitioner’s registration free online. Record what you confirmed, the registration expiry and who checked it in Sentrient, beside police checks, Working with Children Checks, reference checks and electronic contracts.

Yes. New starters complete their details, banking and superannuation, work eligibility, registration and qualification uploads and policy acknowledgements online before day one, usually on their phone. Practice managers see who is ready to see patients and who still has items outstanding, without chasing forms on the morning of a busy clinic.

Yes. Sentrient stores registrations, police checks, immunisation evidence, first aid and other credentials as compliance records with expiry dates, and automated notifications remind staff and managers before they lapse. The Commission publishes guidance on credentialing and scope of practice, and your organisation remains responsible for its own credentialing decisions.

Staff request leave in Sentrient, managers approve or decline it, and staff calendars show leave and key dates for each clinic. Leave integrates with Xero and MYOB, so approved leave is not keyed in twice. Your rostering tool still decides who covers each session.

Yes. Staff can complete online timesheets, managers review and approve hours, and attendance can be tracked by clinic. Timesheet data exports to your payroll system for processing. Sentrient does not calculate award rates, penalty rates or overtime, so pay calculation stays with your payroll software.

Yes. Sentrient is designed to sit beside the rostering, practice management and payroll systems health providers already use, not to replace them. It holds the people and compliance records those tools do not, integrates leave with Xero and MYOB, and exports timesheet data for payroll, so each system keeps its own job.

Publish clinical and workplace policies, such as privacy, infection control, code of conduct and sexual harassment, then track who has read and acknowledged each version by clinic. The Australian Human Rights Commission explains the positive duty employers carry to prevent workplace sexual harassment, and your organisation remains responsible for meeting it.

Health teams often start with Sentrient’s manual handling training for healthcare workers, professional boundaries training and privacy training, with refreshers set on a cycle. For course delivery and custom clinical modules, see our learning management software for healthcare.

Staff record incidents, hazards and aggression through Sentrient’s incident reporting tools, and managers see reports across clinics. Safe Work Australia lists workplace violence, bullying, fatigue and shift work among common health care hazards. For risk registers in depth, see our risk management software for healthcare.

Share announcements with every clinic or a single team, message staff, recognise good care, post photo albums and run feedback surveys. Part-time and visiting clinicians get the same updates as full-time colleagues, and managers can see how each team responds.

Set organisational objectives, write position descriptions for each clinical and support role and agree goals with each person. Dashboards and workflows remind managers when reviews are due, and ongoing performance conversations are recorded, so a clinician’s history travels with them when they move to another clinic.

Yes. Dashboards and ready-made reports show onboarding status, registration and check records, training completion and upcoming expiries by clinic, team or role. Practice managers see their own staff, leaders see the whole organisation, and access levels keep each person to the information their role needs.

Give locum, agency and visiting staff the orientation, policies and training relevant to your clinics, with their records kept alongside permanent employees’. Sentrient records who has completed what and when, so a practice manager can see before a session whether a new face is cleared to work.

No. Staff can complete onboarding, upload registrations and certificates, acknowledge policies, request leave, submit timesheets and finish courses on a phone or tablet. Managers can approve requests and check clinic status on mobile too, which suits staff who move between rooms and sites.

Sentrient keeps onboarding records, registrations, checks, policy acknowledgements, training completions and incident reports with names and dates, ready to export. Many clinics use the NSQHS Clinical Governance Standard as a reference for workforce qualifications and training. Your organisation remains responsible for meeting the standards that apply to it.

Sentrient combines recruitment, onboarding, compliance, learning and performance in one platform, with pre-built Australian compliance courses and local support. It works beside your rostering, practice and payroll tools instead of asking you to replace them. Our guide to healthcare compliance software covers the compliance side.

More than 1,000 Australian organisations use Sentrient, including The George Institute for Global Health, Grampians Community Health, Roche Diabetes Care Australia and Modern Dental Pacific. Read how The George Institute for Global Health uses Sentrient to deliver compliance training to its people.

Pricing depends on your number of staff and clinics and the modules you use, so Sentrient prepares a tailored proposal after a short conversation about your organisation. There are no figures on this page because two providers of the same size can need quite different set-ups.

Book a free 20-minute demo and a Sentrient specialist will walk through recruitment, onboarding, registrations, compliance and reporting using examples that match your clinics and roles. You will see how it sits beside your current rostering and payroll tools before you decide.
