Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS): Care Workers
The Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS) is designed to uphold the safety, dignity and rights of older people receiving aged care services in residential care homes or home and community settings. As a care worker, you play a crucial role in recognising when something has gone wrong and responding appropriately. This Ausmed Training Module introduces the SIRS and supports you in taking prompt, appropriate action when responding to serious incidents in care.
This Ausmed Training Module is a simplified activity on the Serious Incident Response Scheme designed for care workers only. For a more in-depth activity on the SIRS for healthcare professionals, see Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS).
