e-Tools Software Newsletter / October 2021

Dear 

As we continue to weather the COVID-19 storm, some parts of our nation are facing tougher challenges than others. Wherever you are in the country, we sincerely hope that you, your staff and your family are keeping well. If there's anything that we can do to help, please reach out.

Contactless visitor management using Mobile App & QR code

Complacency has no place in our continuous battle against the coronavirus pandemic. We now face the reality of living with the virus but managing it carefully to ensure it does not spiral out of control. 


Our e-Tools Visitor Management (eVM) system is now complemented by the eVisitor Mobile App to provide you with a completely contactless solution.  The eVisitor Mobile App is free to download and use.

eVM goes far beyond just monitoring visitors; we developed eVM to tick more than one compliance box. eVM links with your supplier agreements and staff records to help you meet requirements in these other areas. Visit our website or get in touch on support@e-tools.com.au for a customised quote.

People First Healthcare addresses growing community needs and rapid expansion, streamlining client information with nimble solutions

People First Healthcare (PFH) is a registered provider of Home Care Packages, CHSP and NDIS, with a focus on meeting the unique needs of the elderly multicultural demographic in the Northern and Western suburbs of Melbourne, particularly the Arabic community group.  

Location, demographics and industry changes led to a rising demand for in-home care services and PFH's growth. With a background as an optometrist, Dr. Mohammed  also realised the increasing need for in-home care services in other parts of the community. This saw the opening of PFH’s new location in Roxburgh Park and PFH recently spread its wings as far as Western Sydney.


It was important from the beginning for Mohammed and his team to find a software provider that was capable of scaling up with them, one that had the right amount of experience to assist them in navigating the complex nature of aged and community care compliance requirements. Read full story here...

Improved Payment Arrangements (IPA) for Home Care

Home Care providers have a significant task of preparing for the new funding arrangements. Providers need to be aware that without the right systems and setup, they may find themselves negatively impacted moving forward.


We've had the privilege of working closely with Services Australia; with this first-hand knowledge and our industry experience, we've been able to guide clients through the transition via regular IPA updates.  

Our eHCP (Home Care Package) and e-REC (Reconciliation) software applications will work together to meet the new requirements, including direct data upload to the Department portal when that becomes available. For a limited time, eHCP clients will receive a client discount on their e-REC purchase. Contact us on support@e-tools.com.au to action this now or visit our website to learn more.
