The Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS) helps prevent and reduce the risk of incidents of abuse and neglect in residential aged care services subsidised by the Australian Government.
Under the SIRS, all incidents and near misses should be recorded in a provider’s incident management system (IMS) to ensure a timely and appropriate response that minimises impact, supports those affected and reduces the risk of recurrence.
There are eight types of reportable incidents that must be recorded in a provider’s IMS and reported to the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (the Commission).
This fact sheet covers reporting of incidents about unreasonable use of force.
