$33.41/bed/day walks out the door
Miss the targets and you miss the supplement — funding your compliant competitors collect instead.
Care-minute targets are funded and audited. Connect your HR, rostering and timesheet systems — read-only — and Smartta's 10-day assessment shows you exactly where the gaps are, what they cost, and how to close them before you leave funding on the table.
Assessment outcome
Your care-minutes position
You leave with numbers, not opinions — and a path to close every gap before April 2026.
What's at stake
From April 2026 there's up to $33.41/bed/day in supplement funding — but only for providers who can prove they meet targets. Most can't, yet.
Miss the targets and you miss the supplement — funding your compliant competitors collect instead.
The Care Minutes Performance Statement is externally audited under ASAE 3000. A dashboard isn't an evidence chain — and a qualified opinion hits your Star Rating.
In Jan–Mar 2026, 36% of homes (931) missed their care minutes target — up from 33% the quarter before, and the supplement penalties are now live.
You shouldn't find out at the QFR
The number that decides your funding is assembled quarterly from systems nobody reconciled — roster, clinical, HR, payroll. By the time it's wrong, the rosters that caused it are months gone. That's not a staffing decision anymore. It's an exposure you can only explain.
We built Smartta to close that gap — so your care-minutes position is something you manage, not something that happens to you.

residential providers benchmarked on government data — we know where the sector actually sits.
ASAE 3000
evidence chain tested the way an external auditor will test it — who, in what role, under what credential, per minute.
3 connections
HR, rostering and timesheet — read-only, to the systems you already run. No rip-and-replace, no disruption to operations.
The plan
All we need is three read-only connections — HR, rostering and timesheet. We identify the gaps; you address them. Ten business days, kickoff to report.
A 60-minute briefing, then read-only connections to your HR, rostering and timesheet systems. Nothing to install, no disruption. Days 1–2.
Roster-vs-actual, AHPRA mapping, AN-ACC alignment, evidence-chain testing — then your funding exposure is modelled in dollars. Days 3–8.
A quantified gap report, financial exposure model, and a prioritised roadmap to compliance — with a board-ready summary. Days 9–10.
What the 10 days uncover
Are rostered care minutes translating to delivered minutes? Where do planned and actual diverge?
Are RN, EN, and PCW quals correctly mapped to AHPRA registration? Are expired or pending ones creating blind spots?
Do resident classifications align with staffing levels? Is your WFM receiving accurate occupancy and acuity data?
What data flows between WFM, clinical, HR/credentialing, payroll, and reporting — and where are the manual handoffs?
Can you produce an auditor-ready trail from roster to resident to qualification to QFR? What breaks under scrutiny?
Quantified funding at stake from current gaps: $/day, $/month, $/year in supplement you won't receive.

After the assessment
The difference is when you find out — and what you can prove.
Gaps surface while the roster can still change — coverage decisions made with the target in view, not in hindsight.
A dollar figure on the funding at stake, and a clear line to the supplement you keep once the gaps are closed.
A defensible answer to "can we prove our care minutes?" — evidence behind every reported minute, ready for the auditor.

Why Smartta
Your WFM handles rostering. Your clinical system handles care plans. Your payroll handles wages. The path between them — roster to time to qualification to AN-ACC to QFR to the Performance Statement to the auditor — is nobody's job.
Humanforce needs manual uploads. Deputy doesn't hold clinical data. Your clinical system doesn't know your roster. That's the gap. That's where compliance fails. That's what Smartta governs.
