LetsGoKids is something that every parent needs to keep them "sane" and stocked up with ideas for after school, weekends and holidays- it truly is "For all things Family". We tell parents what to visit, where to eat, what events are on, where to stay, the best places to shop and where to play. LetsGoKids is unique because it is designed and written for both parents and kids. There is no other information booklet of this kind in Australia. It is of as much use to people who live in the city as it is to visitors. LetsGoKids guides are full of fun family activities. Take LetsGoKids with you anywhere with our free smartphone app – with all vouchers, phone numbers, events and maps for all of our advertisers from around New Zealand and Australia.

The super app for shift workers. Your schedule, pay, leave, budget, CPD and expenses, all in one app, built by a nurse. Enter your shifts or snap a photo of your schedule, and MyRoster works out your pay from your actual collective agreement or contract: every premium, allowance and overtime hour. Know what you'll earn before your pay stub arrives. MyRoster requires a paid subscription. Start with a free trial to make sure it's right for you. BUILT FOR YOUR JOB Full time, part time, casual, or working more than one job. • Nurses: collective agreement pay in every Canadian province and territory. • Also built in: nurses in Australia, New Zealand and the UK's NHS, and doctors, paramedics, police and transport workers in Australia. • Any other shift job, from health care and hospitality to retail and security: upload your contract or agreement and MyRoster sets up your pay rules, premiums and allowances, or set up a Custom Role yourself. YOUR PAY • Base pay for your exact classification and step, with wage increases applied from the day they start. • Evening, night and weekend premiums and stat holiday pay applied automatically. • Overtime, standby and allowances at the correct rates. • Paid for your contracted hours? MyRoster pays those, with premiums on top. • Add a one-off shift at your own price, on top of your usual rates. • Take-home pay with federal and provincial income tax, CPP and EI (QPP and QPIP in Québec), or your own tax rate. SCHEDULE & CALENDAR • Add shifts, overtime and leave in a few taps, or save templates for your regular shifts. • Build a week or a whole rotation from your templates in one go. • Snap a photo of your schedule and MyRoster adds the shifts for you. • Track vacation, sick leave, education leave and more. • Sync to Apple and Google calendars, or share and print your schedule as a PDF. • See when friends are working or want to swap. You choose what's shared; wages and notes never are. AskAI • Ask about your pay: "How much did I earn last pay period?", "What would I earn at the next step?" • Ask about your collective agreement: "What's my weekend premium?", "How much vacation do I get?" • Upload your pay stub and AskAI checks it against your shifts. • Ask it to add or change shifts, leave and overtime, switch on an allowance or add a bill, then tap to confirm. • Ask how to use MyRoster: "How do I export my CPD?" • Runs on-device for privacy on iPhone 15 Pro and newer, with Apple, Claude and ChatGPT for complex questions. BUDGET & EXPENSES • Add your bills, savings goals and loans, and see what's left after bills each payday. • Set an income goal for the tax year and see if you're on track. • Track work expenses and car trips in kilometres at your own rate. Scan receipts, set regular costs to repeat and mark what you've claimed. • Export expenses as a PDF with receipt photos or as an Excel spreadsheet. CPD & CAREER • Log your continuing education, get reminders before your CPD year resets, and export it as a PDF with evidence. • Track your hours to your next step. APPLE WATCH & HEALTH • Add a shift from your templates, and see upcoming shifts and payday, right from your wrist. • See steps and heart rate for every shift, and compare shift types with days off. • Count respirations or a pulse on iPhone or Apple Watch, from a widget, Control Centre or the Action Button. STATS, REMINDERS & SYNC • Earnings by pay component, hours by shift type and leave at a glance. • Compare pay periods, tax years or any dates you choose. • Shift reminders, payday summaries, and Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. • Backed up to iCloud and synced across your devices.
