Founder’s Insight
Why SME Workforce Management
“After over a decade working in staffing industry from frontline through to Executive Management, I recognised a pattern — incredible providers were being held back by poor systems, manual rostering, and constant last-minute chaos. I experienced it firsthand running a very successful care-focused staffing agency across the spectrum including Child Protection, NDIS and Mental Health facilities, and I knew there had to be a better way.”
“That’s why I built SME Workforce Management — to create a core solution that actually works. One that leverages AI, real-time support, and compliance automation — so providers can stop firefighting and start focusing on what really matters: delivering optimum care to their clientelle without the stresses of the operational functions that adds to burnout and business growth capping.”

Why SME Workforce Management Changes Everything
The care sector is full of heart — but behind the scenes, most providers are barely holding it together.
Spreadsheets, last-minute rosters, compliance chaos, and underpaid admin staff are burning out great people… and shutting down good businesses.
SME Workforce Management was built to fix that.
Here’s why we’re a game changer:
✅ We Understand the Pressure
We’ve managed care organisations. We know what it’s like to be on-call at 2am, chasing shift confirmations, and worrying about audits. SME isn’t just software — it’s lived experience, turned into a solution.
✅ One Clear process
Rostering, compliance, timesheets, payroll integration, staff tracking — all in one place. Less admin, fewer errors, and no more late-night juggling.
✅ We Stop Burnout Before It Starts
80% of providers struggle with retention and burnout in the first 3-5 years. Our systems reduce stress on your coordinators, keep your staff engaged, and ensure no one gets left in the dark.
✅ We Make You Audit-Ready, Always -
No more scrambling for documents. SME tracks qualifications, alerts you to expiries, and keeps everything in order — so you’re always ready for NDIS or OoHC staffing audits.
✅ We Save You Thousands in Hidden Costs -
Staffing errors, last-minute agency calls, mispaid awards — these cost providers an average $300K+ per year. Our streamlined process cuts waste and keeps you profitable on your bottom line.
