Frequently asked questions
What providers ask most about Care Minute Manager, from tracking and rostering to the QFR and audits.
Care Minute Manager is software that helps Australian residential aged care providers track and report care minutes against their targets. It turns time and attendance data into a daily view of total care minutes and registered nurse minutes for every site, so teams can see under- or over-delivery while there is still time to adjust the roster.
Most providers only see their care minute position after the quarter closes, when it is too late to fix. Tracking delivered minutes against target every day shows where a site is under-delivering, which puts compliance and funding at risk, or over-delivering, which adds unfunded cost. Care Minute Manager shows the selected period, the quarter to date and how many hours ahead of or behind target each site is, so teams can backfill a roster or avoid an unnecessary agency shift.
Care Minute Manager takes in time and attendance data through an API connection, a file upload or an automated file feed from your existing system, and calculates care minutes by staff type, so there's no need to change how your teams roster. If you use Mirus Works, Care Minute Manager is built in. The full list of supported systems is on our Integrations page.
Care Minute Manager generates the labour figures for your QFR from the same worked hours used to prepare pay, for one site or several at once. Because each staff role is already mapped to Department requirements, the figures are consistent from quarter to quarter, and you can include the underlying data to show how each figure was reached.
Providers must have their Care Minutes Performance Statement externally audited each year. Auditors need evidence that each role counted towards care minutes is correctly classified and that reported minutes match timesheet records. In Care Minute Manager, every minute traces back to a worked shift, and our audit documentation pack sets out how your roles and data are configured.
A Care Minute Policy Review is a service we run before Care Minute Manager goes live. Our team checks that every staff role in your organisation is mapped correctly to Department requirements, so only eligible hours count towards your care minutes. It means your reporting is accurate from day one and stands up to audit.
