World Hand Hygiene Day is celebrated each year on 5 May.
The 2025 theme is:
It might be gloves. It’s always hand hygiene.
ACIPC has developed a suite of resources for you to use in your workplace or community including A3 posters, games and puzzles. Print them out and share, and try your luck each day with our hand hygiene-themed Wordle – a new puzzle will appear each day on our Hand Hygiene Day page.
Plus, you and your team could win a beautiful custom-engraved eco-wood trophy simply by posting a photo of your team celebrating World Hand Hygiene Day and tagging us in on social media channels or sending us an email. Use the hashtag #ACIPC or email photos to office@acipc.org.au to enter. The competition closes on Friday 16 May 2025.
Let’s share the hand hygiene message and stop the spread!
