  • SIRS - 1 December 2022

    Prepare now for SIRS - Starts 1 December 2022

    The Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS) will commence in home care, including CHSP, 1 December 2022

    The first of 3 webinars on SIRS in home services was hosted by the Commission on 26 September 2022. You can access the recording here and see the presentation slides here. A Q&A factsheet has also been released. The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission recommended CHSP providers start preparing for the implementation by reviewing and updating your Incident Management System. Information on how to do this is included in the recording and presentation slides.

    Two further webinars are scheduled in October with registrations opening one week before each event. The weblinks will be found in our Calendar.:

    • Tuesday 18 October at 4:00–5:00 pm AEDT (SIRS reportable incidents)
    • Monday 7 November at 4:00–5:00 pm AEDT (Reporting under the SIRS).

    The Commission are also developing a suite of resources to support home services providers, their workforce and aged care recipients to understand their rights and responsibilities under the SIRS. Guidance documents for providers and consumers outlining the new provisions are being fine-tuned based on feedback obtained through small workshops involving providers and consumer representatives, to ensure that the material is fit for purpose. These documents should be ready for release in coming weeks.

    COTA Queensland's CHSP Sector Support and Development Team will circulate those resources as they become available. Click on Follow Now button on https://cotaqld.engagementhub.com.au/chspcop to be notified when our Online Hub information is updated.
