Infection Prevention and Control training for Residential Aged Care Facilities in NSW

Regular Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) training of staff is vital to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACF).

NSW Health has delivered IPC training to all Residential Aged Care providers in NSW using a Train-the-Trainer format. It is expected that this training will be in turn provided to all NSW RACFs.

If your RACF has not received this training, contact your head office / aged care provider to arrange its delivery.

There are also a range of free on-line training courses available for staff:

• NSW Health – Infection Prevention and Control Practices
• Commonwealth Department of Health – COVID 19 infection control
