SIRS Reportability Checker

The Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS) applies to all Commonwealth-funded aged care providers. When something goes wrong, you need to move fast — and you need to get the classification right. Use this tool to work through whether an incident is reportable under SIRS, and at what priority level. This tool covers both residential aged care and home services settings.

Disclaimer: This tool provides general guidance only. It is not legal advice. You are responsible for assessing your own legislative obligations under the Aged Care Act and the Aged Care Rules 2025. Refer to the ACQSC SIRS Guidelines for full details.
