Setting up IPC in a vacant RACFs

[Carolyn Bankier]

Hello everyone
Before I start to drown in dowloads, thought i’d try and take a short cut by asking here.
Does anyone have a template, spreasheet, flow chart etc for setting up an IPC program in RACFs from scratch.
(I think I am overhtinking it)

Thank you

PS I am only setting it up, then employing another IPC lead

Hi Carolyn,

There are examples of an aged care IPC program on the ACIPC Tools and Template webpage: https://www.acipc.org.au/aged-care/aged-care-ipc-templates-and-tools/

See: Aged Care IPC Program and Plans – there are a lot of examples and tools donated by amazing people and organisations.

The aged care space is a one stop shop for so many things, so please pop on and use use all the resources: https://www.acipc.org.au/aged-care/

Regards Carrie

Hi Carolyn

You will be able to find examples of the IPC Plan and other templates under the Aged Care tab, and then IPC Templates and Tools
https://www.acipc.org.au/aged-care/aged-care-ipc-templates-and-tools/

https://www.health.gov.au/topics/aged-care/managing-respiratory-infection/infection-prevention-and-control-in-aged-care?language=en

This is a start but I’m sure Carrie will be able to provide further guidance.

Best of luck
Camilla
