SIRS deadline calculator
Calculate the ACQSC notification deadline for a SIRS reportable incident from the time your provider became aware. Use it for Priority 1 24-hour notifications and Priority 2 30 calendar day notifications, then create the internal tasks needed to keep the evidence trail clean.
The category does not calculate priority by itself. Your team still needs to assess harm, police involvement, and ACQSC priority criteria.

Enter the date and time the provider became aware of the incident.
Important: This calculator is a deadline aid, not legal advice and not a priority-classification decision. Confirm the current SIRS guidance with the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission, and report to police within 24 hours where required.
What this deadline actually needs to trigger
The deadline is only the first control. A good SIRS workflow also records the reportable incident category, the priority decision, immediate consumer safety action, open disclosure, police contact where required, investigation ownership, evidence files and manager approval.
The highest-risk failure is not usually a missed form. It is an incident record that cannot show exactly when the provider became aware, who made the priority decision, what evidence was relied on and what changed after the investigation.
Statura's SIRS module turns the calculated deadline into assigned tasks, escalation alerts, investigation steps, notification packs and board-visible reporting. This public tool is the same logic exposed as a quick operator check.
