Case Study: Children by Choice achieves SCHADS compliance confidence with Employment Hero

How Employment Hero delivered confidence for Children by Choice

Children by Choice, a Queensland not-for-profit supporting reproductive health through counselling, education and advocacy, grew from 8 to more than 25 employees after receiving government funding. As payroll complexity increased under the SCHADS Award, their Finance Officer relied heavily on manual checks, spreadsheets, and deep award knowledge to manage timesheets, allowances, travel, and reporting risk.

Employment Hero unified HR and payroll in one platform, using payroll, award interpretation, and onboarding to automate complex calculations and improve visibility. The result was significantly reduced SCHADS compliance risk, clearer employee pay transparency, audit-ready digital records, and greater operational confidence for Children by Choice, helping the team trust that documentation and payroll were accurate before pay runs were completed.
