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.


Drive robust audits and visible IPC results.

Built for IPC Leads, Clinical Managers, and senior clinical staff who are accountable for risk management, audit performance, and compliance across aged care services.
You’ll benefit if you want to:
  • Move from spot-checks to risk-driven oversight across the whole facility.
  • Run audits that surface trends and systemic gaps, not just isolated errors.
  • Convert findings into clear, accountable quality improvement actions with measurable KPIs.
  • Ensure cultural safety is embedded in how you audit and feed back.

By the end of the day, you’ll be able to:

01
Perform advanced IPC risk assessments using standard matrices to prioritise facility-wide interventions.
02
Execute high-quality clinical audits using observational and retrospective data techniques.
03
Translate raw audit data into trends that reveal root causes (not just symptoms).
04
Design actionable Quality Improvement (QI) plans with measurable KPIs, owners, timelines, and verification.
05
Integrate cultural safety principles into auditing and feedback for equitable outcomes across all residents.
