 Next Milestone In Roll Out of Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS) - Reporting of Priority 2 Incidents
A Priority 2 notification is a reportable incident that does not meet the criteria for a Priority 1 reportable incident. To assist providers’ assessment of what constitutes a reportable incident Priority 1 or Priority 2, please refer to the SIRS guidelines for residential aged care providers.
Under the SIRS guidelines, a Priority 2 reportable incident must be reported to the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission within 30 days of a provider becoming aware of the incident.
The SIRS was introduced on 1 April 2021 to help improve the safety and well-being of consumers through requiring providers to have effective incident management systems. Also from 1 April, providers of residential care and flexible care in a residential setting have been required to report to the Commission all incidents assessed as Priority 1 reportable incidents.
From the 1 October, providers will also be required to report Priority 2 incidents using the SIRS tile on the My Aged Care Provider Portal.
Please note that all incidents (including those not reportable to the Commission under the SIRS) should be recorded by the service in their incident management system.
For more information on the SIRS and incident management requirements, visit the SIRS web page.
