IPC Risk-Based Management & Impactful Audits: Driving Continuous Improvement
About this workshop
Infection prevention and control failures in aged care are rarely caused by staff who don't care. They are caused by systems that make it too easy to do the wrong thing and too hard to prove what's working. This workshop addresses that problem at the system level.
Driving IPC Compliance is a three-hour live workshop that gives IPC Leads, Clinical Managers, and Senior Clinical Staff the governance framework, risk management tools, and audit design skills to run an IPC programme that is not only compliant with the current Standards (AU & NZ) — but genuinely effective at protecting residents.

The workshop is built around a core diagnostic question: 'How do you know your IPC system is effective?' That question is what every Commission assessor carries when they walk through the door. Most services cannot answer it confidently. By the end of this workshop, participants can — with evidence.
