Why choose workit?
workit is an HR management platform built for the aged care workforce. Managing nurses, carers and support staff comes with obligations that go beyond standard HR – credential tracking, police checks, WWCC, SCHADS Award compliance, Aged Care Quality Standard 7 requirements and the documentation demands of the new Aged Care Act. Workit brings all of it into one platform, so your HR team spends less time on admin and more time supporting the people who deliver care.
Efficiency
Aged care workforce admin is relentless - credential renewals, roster gaps, compliance deadlines, and high staff turnover. workit automates the repetitive tasks so your HR team can focus on the ones that matter.
Customisation
Every facility is different. Configure workit to match your facility type, role classifications, award rates, and compliance requirements - whether you’re running residential, home care, or both.
Compliance
Meet Aged Care Quality Standard 7 (Human Resources) with confidence. Automated credential tracking, mandatory training reminders, policy sign-offs, and audit-ready reporting - all in one place.
Candidate Management
Give nurses, carers and support staff self-service access to their documents and compliance records - reducing HR inbox traffic and keeping your workforce informed without constant follow-up.
Recruitment
Onboarding
In aged care, a carer cannot legally commence work until mandatory credential checks are complete. workit’s onboarding module ensures nothing is missed before a new hire’s first shift – protecting residents, staff, and your accreditation.
✓ Digital contracts, policy acknowledgements and mandatory training modules completed before day one – no paper, no chasing.
✓ Automated reminders for police checks, Working With Vulnerable People checks, vaccination records, and other role-specific requirements – with alerts when anything is outstanding.
✓ Completion tracking ensures a new hire cannot be rostered until all onboarding requirements are verified – giving facility managers confidence and keeping you compliant.
Ongoing Credential & Licence Compliance
In aged care, credential compliance doesn’t end at onboarding – it’s an ongoing obligation. Police checks expire. WWVP registrations need renewal. Vaccinations have to be kept current. First Aid certificates lapse. workit tracks every credential for every employee throughout their lifecycle – so you’re never caught out in an audit or a rostering decision.
✓ Automated expiry alerts sent to both the employee and their manager before credentials lapse – configurable lead times so renewals happen proactively, not reactively.
✓ Credential dashboard shows the compliance status of every employee across every facility – see instantly who is compliant, who has outstanding renewals, and where your gaps are.
✓ One-click audit exports of all credential records by employee, facility, role type or credential category – ready for accreditation audits or regulator requests
✓ Supports WWVP/WWCC checks, police checks, vaccination records, First Aid certificates, nursing registration, and any other credential your organisation requires.
Offboarding
Aged care has one of the highest staff turnover rates in Australia. A structured offboarding process protects your organisation when someone leaves – and gives you the data to understand why turnover is happening.
✓ Guided exit process captures equipment returns, access revocation and final compliance checks – nothing falls through the cracks when a carer leaves.
✓ Exit interview templates capture the real reasons for departure – giving managers insights to improve retention in a market where keeping good staff is as hard as finding them.
✓ All employee records securely archived for future audits – meeting the Aged Care Act’s record-keeping requirements without manual filing.

HR Management & Employee Self Service
Aged care HR teams are stretched. Between managing large casual and part-time workforces, credential renewals, and compliance documentation, there’s little time for strategic work. workit’s self-service tools reduce the routine requests that eat up HR time.
✓ Staff update their own personal details, availability, and bank information directly – no hard copy forms, no delays, no HR middleman.
✓ Nurses and carers access their policies and compliance documents from any device – reducing calls to the office when HR isn’t available.
✓ Automated workflows handle routine approvals and notifications – freeing HR to focus on workforce planning, accreditation prep, and the people issues that actually need attention.

Workplace Health & Safety
Aged care workplaces have specific WHS obligations – manual handling injuries, resident-related incidents, falls, near misses, and the documentation requirements of the Aged Care Act. workit makes it simple to report, investigate, and resolve every incident with a complete audit trail.
✓ Mobile incident reporting for injuries, near misses, and hazards – staff can report from the ward floor or care facility the moment something happens.
✓ Corrective actions assigned with owners and deadlines, tracked to closure – demonstrating due diligence to regulators and auditors.
✓ Training and certification records centralised in one place – so you can demonstrate that every carer has completed mandatory WHS training and that records are current.
