Aged Care Quality Compliance

Australia Aged Care Compliance Aged Care Quality Standards SIRS Quality Care Advisory Body Continuous Improvement

Overview

Draft and validate Quality Care Advisory Body (QCAB) reports and Continuous Improvement (CI) plans for Australian aged care. Aligns with the Aged Care Quality Standards and the Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS). The skill includes standards mapping (e.g. falls, pressure sores → Standard 3: Personal and Clinical Care) and a validation tool that checks SIRS triggers and Commission reporting are correctly described.

Validation tool

validate_sirs_notification — Checks that a document correctly describes SIRS reportable incident types and the trigger criterion (“in connection with provision of care and services”), and that the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission (or SIRS) is referenced. Run it on any SIRS procedure, incident policy, or QCAB section that describes reportable incidents after drafting or updating.

Example

You: Draft the Serious Incidents section of our Quality Care Advisory Body report. We need to describe what we report under SIRS.
Agent: I’ll draft the section using the SIRS reference (reportable types and “in connection with care” criterion) and reference the Commission, then run the SIRS validator. (Drafts and runs validate_sirs_notification.) The validator shows Commission reference and most reportable types present; I’ve added the missing types so all eight are covered.

Excerpt of a generated document

The following is an excerpt from a SIRS section the agent might produce (the validator would confirm reportable types and Commission reference):

## Serious incidents and SIRS

Reportable incidents under the Serious Incident Response Scheme (SIRS) are those that occurred **in connection with the provision of care and services**. We notify the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission of all such incidents as required.

Reportable incident types include: psychological or emotional abuse; missing consumers; neglect; stealing or financial coercion by staff; unexpected death; unexplained absence from care; unlawful sexual contact or inappropriate sexual conduct; unreasonable use of force; inappropriate use of restrictive practices.

Getting Started

Add your draft QCAB report, CI plan, or SIRS procedure to the project workspace, then activate the Aged Care Quality Compliance skill. Use the aged_care_standard_mapper skill when you need to map clinical outcomes to Standards in tables or report sections.
