INEducator Rosters That Keep You In Ratio.
Workforce management for Australian childcare and early learning services — educator rosters built to NQF ratios, with records that stand up at assessment and rating time.
Rosters Built To NQF Ratios
Educator-to-child ratios change by age group, qualifications must be balanced across rooms, and programming time still has to happen. Under the NQF, your roster is a compliance document.
Tommy keeps it right. Set the coverage each room needs by age group, assign educators directly or publish open shifts for qualified staff, and use skill requirements — diploma vs certificate III, first aid — so every room stacks up.
Rules based shift trading with automatic or manual approvals covers absences from your own team first, keeping ratios intact without casual-agency scramble.

Room Changes That Reach Everyone

Records Ready For Assessment And Rating
When the regulatory authority visits, staffing evidence should be at hand. Tommy’s time clock — kiosk at the service or personal device with selfie verification — captures who was in ratio, room by room.
Clock on/off questions handle room assignments or daily checks while timesheets build themselves.
Approved hours flow straight to payroll, keeping wage costs visible against occupancy.
