Common Corrective Actions

We have pulled together some of the most common Corrective Actions we’ve seen in recent assessments.

Check out the  Corrective Actions Short Course for more information on how to respond and close Corrective Actions.

CPR Certificates

CPR Certification must be completed annually to ensure your training meets current standards and your certificate is up to date.

First Aid Certificates are valid for 3 years, but CPR is not included in this.

Learn more about this at Domain 4.3 of the QC2020 Knowledge Hub.

Cold Chain Certificates

For a Cold Chain Certificate to be accepted during your assessment, it must be current and in-date. A dispensary refrigerator Cold Chain Certificate is valid for two years from the date of issue stated on the certificate.

Additionally, under QC2020 Requirement 4.2.13, only therapeutic goods can be stored in the dispensary refrigerator.
