Who should attend: This online training is relevant to managers and staff, both clinical and personal carers and anyone else with responsibility for reporting SIRS incidents.
The Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS) commenced in 2021 and significantly changed the regulatory landscape for approved providers. More than 3 years later, we continue to see aged care workers grapple with the legal definitions and when they are required to notify the Commission of an incident. The SIRS regime is set to continue under New Aged Care Act. The SIRS will likely continue to be scrutinised by the Commission and other regulatory bodies under the New Aged Care Act. For example, SIRS incidents may be treated as breaches of the proposed new ‘statutory duties’. This training is meant as a refresher for your staff to ensure they understand their obligations.
The training will cover:
- The legal definitions of the reportable incidents including examples of each;
- Notification requirements for the reportable incidents;
- Consequences of breaching your obligations under SIRS; and
- Other requirements for your incident management systems.
The session will be presented by Anita Courtney and Johanna Heaven who both regularly assist aged care providers.
