DateRelease Note
28 September 2026Open-ended client leave is improved. When you create client leave without an end date, the system now cancels all affected social group bookings, so they show as cancelled on the client’s calendar and in event attendance.
28 September 2026A new contractor notification setting is available. Organisations can now turn off contractor notifications across email, tasks, app and newsfeed while keeping all other notifications on, with the organisation-wide notification setting still taking priority.
28 September 2026Once-off funding sources in Client Profile > Funding Sources are improved. When the frequency is Once-Off and Rate Override is blank, it now fills in automatically from the Funding Amount, or from each fee item’s Rate Per Frequency for advanced funding sources, without replacing any value you enter.
29 September 2026Staff availability on the Scheduling Board is improved. Ordinary work hours, contract hours, and leave now display at their scheduled times, including during daylight saving periods.
30 September 2026Quote acceptance is improved. When you accept a Draft or Open quote, the system checks it has a client and funding type and hasn’t expired, then saves its services to the care plan and shows the bookings on the client’s calendar.
30 September 2026Loading unallocated bookings for scheduling is faster. The system now returns unallocated bookings in a few seconds, so you can start allocating shifts without a long wait.
30 September 2026The system can now identify and correct affected allocation percentages for locked, pool-funded Care Management records. Each correction is recorded to support review and tracking.
30 September 2026Employment Hero (KeyPay) payroll exports now identify shifts worked under a 12-hour or 10-hour by-agreement arrangement. This helps Employment Hero apply the correct pay rules under the updated SCHADS Award.
30 September 2026Pre-sleepover and post-sleepover work types for Employment Hero (KeyPay) payroll exports can now be set through a billing category reference code. This lets you match these shifts to your own Employment Hero work types rather than fixed values.
30 September 2026Client Report exports in Reports > Client Reports are improved. Each column in the exported file now shows data that matches its heading, such as the Department column showing the client’s department.
01 October 2026Staff leave loading in Actions> Staff Leave is faster. Pages and windows respond faster, and Staff Leave and work schedules continue to function as before.
01 October 2026Task email notifications are improved. Task Assigned and Task Completed emails now show full names and due dates in the correct time zone, including during daylight saving, and Task Assigned emails no longer include completion details or the assignee’s name in the subject line.
01 October 2026Calendars now load faster. Bookings in calendars and scheduling, including social group calendars, appear much more quickly, even for long date ranges.
02 October 2026Improved handling of services in the system for Russell Kennedy Support at Home Agreements. Services now display correctly when generating agreements.
