World War One was a force of change due to the nature of Australia's involvement at home and in politics. Prime Minister Billy Hughes came to power just six months after the start of the war. This meant that as a politician, he held a significant sway with the Australian public. Both Hughes and the media influences at the time are key aspects of the Australian identity during the war, and

Australian Unity uses Procura as its core system for client records, rostering and paying care worker staff. A feature of Procura is the Scheduling Genius which we utilise for all rostering functions. In the Genius the profile of a client is contained, including their gender, languages and cultural needs. This client profile is then used by Procura to match against care worker profiles which highlight, gender, languages spoken, cultural background, specific clinical skills, qualifications and experience. This automated process presents to the rostering officer and the client the best match from the care worker pool to meet each individual client’s needs.
