About the Team
The Risk Intake and Inspectorate Group (RIIG) protects older Australians through proportionate response to provider, worker, financial, prudential and provider governance risks. To achieve this outcome, RIIG comprises two functions: Risk Intake and Analysis, that analyses risk and triages the appropriate response escalation; and Inspectorate that undertakes preventative and responsive monitoring of identified risks.
Risk Based Monitoring (Worker Regulation) is a section within RIIG. It is responsible for:
* Detecting and responding to aged care worker (aged care workers and responsible persons) risks, including assessing provider compliance with their obligations to ensure workers are complying with the Aged Care Code of Conduct
* Conducting both targeted and responsive risk-based monitoring of worker risks
* Embedding worker compliance with the Aged Care Code of Conduct across the aged care sector and increasing the accountability of providers for the quality of their workforce
* Building sector confidence in the Commission and fostering improvement in worker regulation.

The Senior Inspector – Risk Based Monitoring (Worker Regulation) is responsible for identifying and addressing risks related to aged care workers, ensuring providers meet their obligations and uphold workforce standards.
