Infection prevention and control in RACH – Invitation to co-design a national CoP

Be part of shaping a supportive learning community tailored for your needs! 

What is this about? 
As an IPC Lead in residential aged care, you play a vital role in infection prevention and control. This project aims to develop Communities of Practice specifically for IPC Leads like yourself across Australia. 

A Community of Practice brings together people with shared roles and interests to learn collaboratively, share knowledge, and support each other.

We are inviting IPC Leads, residential aged care managers, quality and executives to co-design these Communities of Practice through workshops. 
Your input will help shape: 
1.Practical aspects - When/how to meet, sharing information etc.
