The same four sites, the same four months as the incident register — but this time the system
captures what went right. Every record below is synthetic. Start on Timeline to see one
person's wins against their actual goals, then switch to Trends for what it looks like across
the organisation.
Moments in window
–
Mar – Jun 2026, 4 sites
First-time-ever moments
–
something the person had never done
Reported above site level
–
there is no pathway to report one
Goal reviews with evidence
–
of – goals reviewed 30 Jun
Same period, same people, two very different systems
–
incidents — things that went wrong
- Mandatory form, defined severity scale
- Team-leader review step (on paper)
- ALERT → ERT → CERT escalation pathway
- Reportable subset goes to the NDIS Commission
- Counted, trended and reported to the board
Pathway exists ✓ — see the incident pattern mock.
–
moments that matter — things that went right
- No form. Free text in a shift note, if at all
- No review step, no reader, no aggregation
- No escalation — a win has nowhere to go
- Never leaves the house it was written in
- Not counted, not trended, never seen by the board
No pathway ✗ — this page is the pathway that doesn't exist.
Goal-area movement over time
Moments logged per month, by goal area. The
line is flat-to-rising across the window — progress is happening at a steady clip. Nothing in the current
reporting stack would show you this shape, because nothing counts a win.
Which sites log wins
Incidents versus moments, per site. Every site files incidents. Not every
site writes down a win.
Who writes them down
Filing an incident is mandatory, so almost everyone does it. Logging a win is
voluntary, so it tracks tenure, not caseload — the three who have never written one down are two
of the February 2026 Willoughby starters and the newer of the two Lakemba workers.
Where a win ends up
Only progress notes are structured and
searchable. Shift-note free text is technically retained but never read across. The handover book and verbal
handovers are gone the moment the shift turns over.
The finding
The same four months that produced – incidents also produced –
moments that matter — and only the incidents have anywhere to go.
– of those moments were something the person had never done before. Not one was reported
above site level, because there is no mechanism to report one. All
– goals reviewed on
30 June were closed with no evidence attached — including
Dave R.'s, marked "no measurable progress recorded" on the same day his fourth month of shower
routine was sitting in a shift note.
The second finding — the loop runs one way
A support worker's only structured channel into the organisation is the incident form.
Everything they notice that
isn't a problem exits the system at the end of the shift. That is not a
reporting gap; it is a picture of the person built entirely out of their worst days.
