Comply with COVID-19 infection prevention and control policies and procedures in an aged care setting
The government commissioned Infection Control Expert Group (ICEG) has concluded that all aged care staff should be trained in infection prevention and control practices, not only when they start working but on a regular basis throughout their tenure. Not only is it recommended by government, infection control training is a responsible action you can take to protect your community and their families. It’s also a vital step in protecting your business.
Designed for those in health and community sectors, our high-quality infection control training provides the skills to follow organisational infection prevention and control policies and procedures, including implementing standard and transmission-based precautions and responding to infection risks in the workplace.
