    Hi Folks
    We recently had a resident in our RACF unexpectedly pass away, not COVID related, and I have been asked by my managers to report the resident’s COVID vaccination status. My problem is I have no idea who this needs to be reported to. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Cheers

    Hi Jude,

    You might try either the Aged Care Quality unit or the Department of Health
    number used to report elder abuse or missing residents. The aged care
    quality unit have always been pretty helpful in my experience.

    Hi Jude, I do all our aged care reporting regarding COVID 19 vaccination in aged care and apart from the de-identified reporting that we do on a weekly basis I have not heard of a requirement to report on a residents passing. The only thing I can think of is if there is an inquest into the death and the COVID 19 vaccination status of the resident is requested as part of this process. Can you approach your manager and ask for more specifics about what they are requesting you to do?

    Hi Jude
    I am also in Aged Care and this is the first I have heard of this request so am interested to know the answer as well.
    Is there anyone in this forum from DoH, Victoria?

    Hi Folks
    We recently had a resident in our RACF unexpectedly pass away, not COVID related, and I have been asked by my managers to report the residents COVID vaccination status. My problem is I have no idea who this needs to be reported to. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Cheers
