The Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care has released a new suite of infection prevention and control posters to support aged care staff with practical guidance on standard and transmission-based precautions.

Designed for residential, home and community-based aged care settings, the posters help staff apply IPC practices consistently and reduce the risk of infection transmission.

The suite includes:
▪️ 3 Easy Steps to using Hand Sanitiser
▪️ Standard Precautions
▪️ Contact Precautions
▪️ Respiratory Precautions
▪️ Respiratory Precautions with a Particulate Filter Respirator
▪️ Combined Contact and Respiratory Precautions
▪️ Combined Contact and Respiratory Precautions with a Particulate Filter Respirator

Displayed in staff areas, clinical workspaces or at the point of care, these resources reinforce best practice at the moment it matters and support ongoing IPC education.
