Public Holiday Supports Report

Overview

The Public Holiday Supports Report lists every support and group support that falls on a public holiday within a date range. It gives you one place to review upcoming public holiday supports so you can decide which ones should go ahead — without checking each participant's schedule individually.

This is especially useful because only some participants are funded for public holiday supports. Many providers contact each participant before a public holiday to check whether they still want their support. This report shows those supports together, and — where a participant's policy requires it — lets you record that the support has been confirmed.

Accessing the report

1. From the left-hand side menu, click Reports.
2. Select the Scheduling tab (or search for Public Holiday).
3. Choose Public Holiday Supports.

Report layout

The report opens with the current month selected and lists each support that falls on a public holiday in that period.

Each row shows:

• Type — An icon indicating whether the row is an individual support or a group support.
• Start time / End time — When the support starts and finishes.
• Support type — The type of support scheduled.
• Participants — The participant (or participants, for a group support) receiving the support.
• Policy — The participant's public holiday support policy, or a Confirmed badge once the support has been confirmed.
• Support workers — The worker (or workers) rostered on the support.
• Public holiday — The name of the public holiday and the state it applies to, for example King's Birthday (NSW).

Click any row to open the support (or group support) if you need to view or edit its details.

Filtering and searching

• Date — The report defaults to the current month. Use the date filter to move to another period, including the This and Last presets.
• Public Holiday — Filter to one or more specific public holidays. Each option shows the holiday name, state, and date.
• Search — Search the listed supports to quickly find a participant or worker.

Public holiday support policy

The Policy column reflects each participant's public holiday support policy, which is set on the participant's Scheduling Settings. There are three policies:

Supports for participants set to Requires Confirmation show a warning badge until they are confirmed, making it easy to see what still needs to be actioned before the public holiday.

Confirming a public holiday support

When a participant's policy is Requires Confirmation, you can record that the support has been checked and should go ahead.

1. Find the support in the report and click the tick icon next to the Requires Confirmation badge.

2. In the Confirm Public Holiday Support dialog, add an optional note (for example, Confirmed with Participant) and click Confirm.

The policy badge changes to Confirmed.

Removing a confirmation

If you need to undo a confirmation, click the cross icon next to the Confirmed badge.

Then click Delete in the confirmation dialog. The support returns to Requires Confirmation.
