Hi All,
As part of the new Aged Care standards, it has been recommended that we have information for the residents on what will happen to them during an outbreak. I have searched the web to find something but anything official is directed to the staff and visitors.
I can create something but rather than reinvent the wheel I thought someone, somewhere may have one that they are willing to share.
ThanksSue
Hi Susan,
Information Sheets – Gastroenteritis Kit for Aged Care are available on the Australian Health website:

Just to round off the links for outbreak management infomation-
I will also include the following links – however I am aware that you may be looking for a handout to provide to residents – covering brief, but all content?

Hi Sue,
Samples of information for residents/families on transmission precautions and outbreak management has been shared – this can be changed to suit the needs of other facilities or just used as a guide – if you would like to access, please go to the ACIPC Aged Care template and tools page and scroll down to ‘Residents and Visitor information’: https://www.acipc.org.au/aged-care/aged-care-ipc-templates-and-tools/
