Navigating the role of the IPC Lead

In 2021 we saw the introduction of the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Lead into every residential aged care facility across Australia, as a requirement of accreditation.

The Department of Health and Aged Care provide an outline of general requirements for the role, enabling providers to determine the role based on individual facility need, environment and capability.

The session provided suggestions for role and task descriptions, how to promote and enable the role and collaborative approaches with facility managers. We looked at templates and resources to guide this process.
