Why commission an Inspection or Audit?

Business continuity and operational effectiveness require constant monitoring, development and review. Healthcare Security and Risk will review how and what you are doing effectively – or not.

Legally, good governance and best practice methods MUST be adopted at all times. Healthcare facility inspections and security risk assessment qualify processes and review existing effectiveness of your protective and physical security systems.

Workcover and common law claims against your business will attempt to expose your gaps – facility inspections and security risk assessment, with effective investigations will support your PCBU when it matters most. This can assist in keeping your insurance premiums low.

Consequences of non-compliance.

Incomplete, outdated, or ineffective healthcare security inspections can lead to:

immediate physical safety concerns for staff and patients.
impacts to healthcare critical infrastructure.
workplace negligence.
non-compliance impacting clinical governance
criminal related actions of assault, trespass, malicious damage and theft against workers, patients and visitors.
Loss of confidence within the community impacting business continuity.

These all have potential to directly impact business continuity, create a lack of confidence within community, and ultimately place our clinical staff and patients at risk.

Why hire us?

Healthcare Security and Risk’s knowledge and expertise has been gained across multiple Hospital Health Service’s, varying from metropolitan hospitals and facilities to isolated rural and remote Primary Health Care Centers (PHCC).

Inspections, assessments and audits are our bread and butter.

Constant maintenance and legislative accountability of systems within the healthcare industry is not easy with staffing issues and the need to maintain the standard days business.

Healthcare security staffing levels are generally aligned with providing a physical presence or guard force, in support of clinical staff who generally do not have capacity to undertake healthcare facility inspections, security risk assessments, or initiate security investigations potentially linked to Workplace Health and Safety.

Allow us to support your business by providing guidance ensuring your ability to maintain good governance, best practice, and ensure your reputational risk is minimised.
