Submitting a SIRS notification

As part of the Serious Incident Reponses Scheme (SIRS), providers are responsible for submitting notifications about serious incidents via the SIRS tile on the My Aged Care Provider Portal.

The Commission has created the below example responses to help providers understand the level of detail that is required to ensure the Commission can appropriately assess the incident and their response to it.

Any similarities to an actual reportable incident or individual is purely coincidental.

Example responses

• SIRS notification example response – Unreasonable use of force
• SIRS notification example response – Unlawful sexual contact
• SIRS notification example response – Psychological or emotional abuse
• SIRS notification example response – Unexpected death
• SIRS notification example response – Stealing or financial coercion
• SIRS notification example response – Neglect
• SIRS notification example response – Inappropriate use of restrictive practices
• SIRS notification example response – Unexplained absence from care
