Who can report an incident?
Staff with the incident permission add it from the Incident module: description, shift time, date and time, date reported, site, and one or more of your incident types. Sections auto-save, and Notify sends it to the people who need to know before it is finished.
Which incidents must be notified to the WHS regulator?
A business must notify its WHS regulator immediately after becoming aware of a death, serious injury or illness, or dangerous incident arising from its work. Some jurisdictions add to that list: the ACT includes sexual assault incidents. December 2025 amendments to the model WHS Act add more, but apply only once your state or territory enacts them. Where this applies: sections 35 to 38 of each state and territory’s WHS Act, which are based on the model WHS Act, everywhere except Victoria. In Victoria, Part 5 of the OHS Act 2004 (sections 37 and 38) sets which incidents are notified.
How does it handle notifiable incidents?
When the feature is enabled, the reporter is asked whether the incident is potentially notifiable. Flag it and only the Notifiable Incident security group, typically legal, can see it; they are emailed at once with the reporter’s name, phone, and the details. They add users, or unrestrict it once it is judged not notifiable. The restriction is on the record only: you must still notify the regulator immediately after you become aware (WHS Act s 38; in Victoria, OHS Act 2004 s 38). ComplyFlow does not lodge the notification with the regulator for you.
What are the statuses?
Draft, Draft & Notified, Submitted, Pending Actions, Awaiting Sign-off for serious incidents flagged by tag logic, Ready-to-Close, and Closed. An incident moves on its own when there are no pending actions or investigations, and can be reopened to Submitted.
How are corrective actions tracked?
Each has an owner who is notified, a due date, and a status of Open, In Progress, Partial, Closed, or Not Required. Close one with the activity, the date, and any files. The incident reads Pending Actions until every action is closed or not required. The list exports to CSV.
Can a contractor report incidents in it?
Yes. The contractor’s Workers, their sign-ins, and their prequalification are already on the same record, so a contractor incident is recorded, investigated, and reported the same way as your own, and the person involved carries their induction and licences into the investigation.
Can our reporting read incident data?
Yes. Incident data in three API versions and injury data are available through REST, which is how enterprise Clients feed Power BI, and the dashboard charts export as PNG, JPEG, PDF, or SVG. Through MCP, an assistant can be asked which sites had a near miss this month.
