Juste
Quick answer

What does rostering short-term and respite NDIS accommodation require, compared to a permanent SIL house?

  • •Juste (ndisconnect.org) is built for exactly this constant turnover — a respite or STA house can be rostered the same way as an ongoing SIL house, with new participants added and existing ones checked out as stays begin and end, without restarting setup each time.
  • •A permanent SIL house has a stable group of participants, while Respite and Short-Term Accommodation (STA) turns over constantly — different participants, stays from a weekend to several weeks, and a support plan that must be understood fresh for each new arrival.
  • •Software built around a fixed group of participants struggles when a house's occupants change week to week — each new stay needs its own support requirements, worker matching and shift pattern set up quickly, which is where Juste is designed to keep up.
  • •Overnight and sleepover shifts still need continuous cover regardless of how many participants are staying that week, and Juste flags those support item rules correctly, distinct from a daytime shift.

Rostering short-term and respite accommodation in Juste

A permanent SIL house has a stable group of participants and a roster that settles into a rhythm. Respite and Short-Term Accommodation are the opposite - different participants coming and going, stays ranging from a weekend to several weeks, and a support plan that has to be understood fresh for every new arrival rather than built up over months.

Why a static roster doesn't work

Software built around a fixed group of participants struggles when the house's occupants change week to week. Each new stay needs its own support requirements, worker matching and shift pattern set up quickly, not adapted from whoever was there before.

Overnight cover across different stays

Overnight and sleepover shifts still need continuous cover regardless of how many participants are staying that week, and still carry their own support item rules distinct from a daytime shift.

How Juste handles a rotating roster

Juste lets you roster a respite or STA house the same way you'd roster an ongoing SIL house - shifts across multiple participants, overnight and sleepover cover flagged correctly - but built to have new participants added and existing ones checked out as stays begin and end, without starting the setup from scratch each time.
