Why Lifeline Australia picked Rosterfy
One of Lifeline's biggest pain points from their previous system was that it was not fit for purpose, nor scalable, with a heavy manual admin over head for their Recruitment Officer.
They also wanted to increase and improve the volunteer experience throughout their recruitment process. Rosterfy was selected due to its configurability with complex workforce requirements built in as opposed to requiring developers to develop things from scratch.
With Rosterfy now in place, Lifeline Australia have a fit for purpose system, that is configurable to their needs, allowing them to scale for the future.

From 'master spreadsheet' to Rosterfy
Prior to using Rosterfy, Lifeline was using spreadsheets to manage their volunteer program. Looking for efficiency and scalability, they engaged Rosterfy to help streamline operations.
As part of the migration to Rosterfy, Lifeline undertook an extensive mapping process and identified key processes that could be automated thanks to Rosterfy, which resulted in them enjoying a 50% decrease in application administration.

Ensuring compliance through screening
One of the major benefits of Rosterfy has been the ability to automate screening in the form of Working with Children Checks including checks and renewals.
Lifeline Australia implemented a reminder process through Rosterfy to ensure volunteers renewed their Working with Children Check before it expires, to avoid the volunteer being stood down because they were not compliant with government legislation.
