All community services workers have workplace health and safety responsibilities. Communicating with others about risks is part of these responsibilities. If you witness a workplace accident involving a person, you may be required to fill out an accident report form. Recording near misses or incidents also assists in making improvements to workplace safety to minimise hazards or risks.

Service data includes hours spent on each activity, with each person, in each program area, and usually entered directly into an electronic database as required by the funding body/government department/organisation’s board. The data is often collected daily and submitted quarterly.

Organisational reports include annual reports, strategic plans and business plans. These are generally produced on an annual basis.

Projects and programs require regular progress reports at intervals throughout delivery. Evaluation reports are provided following the completion of a project or program.
