Humanforce is enterprise workforce management — rostering, time and attendance, payroll, and HR — with aged care modules bolted on. KareShift is purpose-built for residential aged care: ADL charting, versioned care plans, AN-ACC tracking, and SIRS compliance in one platform. If you need a care delivery platform (not just rostering and payroll), KareShift delivers more clinical tooling at transparent, per-bed pricing — no sales calls required.

When to stay with Humanforce
Large group (200+ staff)
If you operate multiple sites with 200+ staff across complex award structures, Humanforce's enterprise WFM is built for that scale and complexity.
Multi-award payroll
Humanforce's award interpretation engine handles complex multi-award scenarios across aged care, nursing, and support worker agreements — a mature, proven system.
Enterprise HR integrations
If you've already invested in Humanforce implementation and rely on their deep integrations with payroll, HR, and finance systems, switching has a high transition cost.
Frequently asked questions
KareShift includes care minutes tracking — automatic daily calculation with RN vs total distinction, weekly reports, and 200-minute threshold alerts. Humanforce's care minutes module may have additional features for complex proportional allocation scenarios. KareShift focuses on care delivery tools (ADL, care plans, AN-ACC) that Humanforce does not publicly document as of Aug 2026.
Yes. KareShift's per-bed pricing scales to any facility size — 30 beds included at A$249/mo billed annually (A$299 monthly), then A$7 per additional bed on annual billing (A$9 monthly). A 100-bed facility costs A$739/mo billed annually, or A$929/mo billed monthly. Unlimited workers are included at every level. There's no staff cap or per-user charge.
Workforce management (WFM) handles rostering, time and attendance, leave, and payroll — the operational side of staffing. A care delivery platform adds clinical tools: ADL charting, care plans, observations, incident reporting (SIRS), and funding classification (AN-ACC). KareShift combines both — rostering plus care delivery in one system.
Purpose-built for aged care. Ready in minutes.
90 days free, up to 30 beds. Everything except Xero Payroll sync and payroll export, which need a paid plan. No enterprise sales process.
