The project will build on the learnings from a pilot project IMMERSE-1 which was run in Victoria. Participants will have the opportunity to connect with others in similar roles across Australia, share experiences, resources and knowledge, hear from IPC experts and help strengthen IPC in residential aged care.

Small groups of IPC Leads will meet online monthly for 30-45 minutes, with sessions commencing in May – June 2026, and running for 12 months. Participation will be interactive and involve sharing information and resources, problem-solving and learning with and from one another. IPC subject experts will join some of the sessions to work with members and problem-solve together.
