The Domiciliary Care Risk Assessment Template has been developed to meet the growing need for standardized risk assessment in home care settings across Australia. This document is essential for care providers to comply with the Aged Care Act 1997, Work Health and Safety Act 2011, and other relevant Australian legislation. It should be used prior to commencing care services and reviewed regularly thereafter. The template covers comprehensive risk evaluation across multiple domains including physical environment, personal care, medical needs, and emergency procedures. It supports care providers in maintaining high standards of service delivery while ensuring the safety of both care recipients and care workers in home environments. The document is designed to be adaptable to various levels of care needs while maintaining consistency in risk assessment approaches.
