### "Happy with the change"

July 16, 2024

4.0

Overall I like it. There are some areas that still need to be looked at but overall it has been a positive change.

Pros

I like the uninvestigated observations section. It alerts the care advisors to any changes in clients condition- health, social etc straight away. Carers like that CA can reply back to them.

Cons

Unable to find documents. Once in notebook they are lost. Need to be able to find these more easily. Clients and families still not able to see carer notes.

### "Intuitive accounting with logical UI"

April 23, 2024

5.0

As a tech savvy person (at least I like to think) it is really nice to see efficiency improvements, no more waiting for endless data to load slowly. Very much appreciate the seemingly continual logical improvements for how systems work, from new shortcuts being added to entire new optimized reports or functions for a regularly used function.

Pros

I love that Lookout is very forward thinking in terms of technology and continual quality of life improvements because their fundamental ideas for how Home Care should work is refreshing to see

Cons

The initial setup and implementation phase had all hands on deck and there is still support but with lengthier implementation times. It was in part already known and I don't have know how on the agreements we have with lookout but it is improved over previous software.

Love the product - works well and delivers on what we need a good rostering system

Pros

how easy it is to use and simple in its functionality

Cons

it could be better to find most simple information and we lost how long someone has been with us so we lost a bit of history

July 5, 2024

5.0

Very positive. The implementation team was very supportive throughout the process. The system is well designed and easy to use. We are also integrating our operational management processes into the ticket system and it improved efficiency.

Pros

Good design, easy to use, good UI. The ticket system is so powerful in operational management and implementing workflows/processes. Very flexible in designing ticket types, templates, team communication, and reminder.

Cons

No client-level authorisation. Risk AI needs improvement and option to de-escalate.

June 14, 2023

pretty good

Pros

All the information is right there to look at and its user friendly

Cons

There's nothing so far that I don't like about Lookout. A feature to see helpers per hour rate in the right column in the visit will be great when the visits are longer than 1 hour. (the column where helpers check in & check out )

It helps eliminate the noise, and delivers the right insights to the right person at the right time.

### "Lookout review."

February 19, 2025

5.0

Overall I think lookout is a system that all providers should use as like I said, it captures everything thats needed, its very clear on where to find different tabs, the fact thats its linked to so many different things still blows my mind. The lookout team have just made this an amazing program to use and I very much am happy to be using this.

Pros

After using multiple platforms and systems I find that Lookout is very clear, very easy to use and with how streamlined it is I find that it still captures everything needed.

Cons

Not so much what I like least but it would be beneficial to have the client contribution on the dashboard under the funding section with the subsidy and ITF. Currently if a member does make a VC the only way to find is to search through all tickets which can be hard to find at times.

### "Great Care Management Software"

February 11, 2025

5.0

The system is constantly improving. It is Australian, so they are very proactive when it comes to the changes in aged care.

Pros

Very easy to use and the team are responsive to all questions

Cons

It is all very functional, so I have no complaints

Alternatives considered

January 21, 2025

5.0

My experience has always been great, I really appreciate it and it's efficiency.

Pros

I enjoy the simplicity of it, it is very easy to navigate.

Cons

I don't enjoy how there is no backup if you accidentally refresh the page and lose all your notes. I also wish that there was a quicker ability to hyperlink other than having to scroll and hit the button every time.

September 17, 2024

5.0

Fun, enjoyable, satisfying. Professional ... what else is there ?

Pros

Technical capabilities - API is extensive. Pre-sales support is astounding

Cons

UI could do with a bit more polish and understates how great the actual product is

Our experience has been positive. We have received positive feedback from staff and consumer users. User friendly, clear, good support.

Pros

Ease of use, neat, dynamic. Responsive customer service and troubleshooting.

Cons

Some features not quite there yet but on the roadmap for implementation.

We engaged a consultant to identify the platform that best suited our needs and preferences

### "Member information all in one place"

June 15, 2023

5.0

I use it 8 hours 5 days a week and love the convenience, the efficiency it enables by being able to find things on a member's profile with ease by looking at 'subject' headings. The various functions all play a part in making our working day easier, more efficient and keeping everyone aware of what is going on with a member.

Pros

All the member's information is in the one place, and easy to locate and differentiate between different actions - required or previous.Smooth transition between pagesAllows for cutting and pasting, assigning to specific team members, tagging of people also using it, categorisation, tags to classify.

Cons

It takes some time to learn as vastly different than anything I'd used previously, however after a few weeks of regular use it's very user friendly.

### "It has promise, but is not NDIS ready."

April 30, 2023

2.0

The Lookout Way has potential. If I were providing aged care brokerage services, it would be great. Sadly it isn't suited for NDIS providers without serious hacks and compromises.

Pros

Great ticketing features and transparency between clients and workers.There are a lot of customisation options along with an APIAllows for self-booking.

Cons

It is designed mostly for managing contractors.The API is missing core features relating to invoicingInvoicing is difficult to navigate.Cancellations are not listed on proda export and are structured poorly as options.Care plans are essentially word templates rather than forms and cannot be created or updated in the field.There are a lot of hidden addon costsWorkers cannot fill out forms.There is no document tab. Documents can only be stored in client notes.Service agreements and quotes can not be managed within the platform.

### "LOW Review "

December 27, 2022

5.0

The tickets have really helped us to be able to keep track of all the little and big errands that need to be done overall for clients and staff.

Pros

Tickets they are a big game changer for me, being able to set up so many different ones to be able to provide the best care for the clients is a cut above the rest.

Cons

I have yet to use the referral to Allied health section of the program due to other companies using email referrals not a program yet.

### "Ensures the highest level and best practice care is provided for our customers"

October 21, 2022

5.0

Very helpful support

Pros

I’ve worked in the care and disability sector for well over 10 years. Never have I seen a software platform as aligned to meeting the unique needs of both of these sectors as I have Lookout. The level of care oversight it provides for our customers is impressive, precise, and second to none. As a Manager, I use Lookout daily to manage compliance needs, and as our core procurement tool to process, order, monitor and pay for hundreds of unique orders a week. The oversight that the Lookout referral feature has for our external Allied Health Professionals in real-time, not only ensures the most up-to-date care information is provided to our external parties, but this in turn ensures the highest level and best practice care is provided for our own customers from any approved outside organisations that are representing our brand. Time and time again using real-time data.

Cons

None really. It really is a great platform and they are constantly developing new features.
