The NSW Health Rostering Resource Manual (the manual) has been developed to inform, guide and educate staff with rostering responsibilities in relation to planning, developing, maintaining and operating rosters that meet patient, staff and organisational needs.
The manual contains principles and rostering guidelines which outline mandatory obligations (where they exist) with respect to rostering as well as tools to facilitate best practice rostering and reporting across the State. The establishment of clear lines of responsibility for roster governance and approval based on rostering measures of success will enhance compliance with the rostering guidelines and will identify further opportunities for process improvement to enhance patient, employee and organisational outcomes.
