Aged Care
The College provides IPC education, resources, and support which is tailored to aged care settings. ACIPC recognizes the rapid increase in IPC implementation which occurred over the pandemic years and the challenges it has presented in aged care settings and has resources to help you in your role.
Aged Care IPC Community of Practice
Our new Aged Care IPC Community of Practice has been set up to enhance the knowledge and implementation of IPC across the sector. ACIPC recognizes the benefits of peer collaboration, and this community provides support and opportunities for learning in a safe, sector-focused and resourced environment.
