Understanding Incident Reporting and Response: Building Accountability in Care

Why Incident Reporting Matters

In the disability and aged care sectors, even small incidents can have big impacts. From a slip and fall to an unexpected behavioural change, accurate incident reporting helps ensure participant safety, identify risks, and prevent future harm.

For support workers, knowing how to respond to and report incidents is a core professional responsibility under the NDIS Practice Standards. It’s about more than paperwork—it’s about accountability, safety, and quality care.

  • Recognise what qualifies as a reportable incident

  • Respond calmly and appropriately during emergencies

  • Record accurate and objective incident details

  • Follow escalation procedures and organisational protocols
