Design your rostering learning pathway

​Rostering portal

The Rostering portal is a hub for rostering information and online resources to support staff to improve roster outcomes. Below is some guidance to assist you with capability development. Please refer to Design your rostering learning pathway for the PDF version.

Start by identifying a persona
