Hi Mary
Thanks so much for reaching out. It is quite difficult when I dont have a network built up yet but am excited to get onboard with this group.
I was a member of a similar organization in the US and found that invaluable.

Hello Sarah, and welcome to Melbourne.

Hope you are settling in well, and managing to make sense of our accents, abbreviations and other distinctive local features like the weather!
Im sure you will find a wide and supportive community amongst ACIPC professionals.

I am currently working in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), in the COVID19 Public Health Unit. We are nurses in the Infection Prevention and Control Outreach Nurses (IPCON) group, and have had lots of activity within aged care, in both our prevention and outbreak arms.

Emails from ACIPC Infexion Connexion come to our email addresses, so you have just gained a whole lot of colleagues in the job.

Wishing you good luck in your work as your feet hit the ground again!

Kindest regards
Mary Fraser (one of several Marys in IPCON)

Good Afternoon,
I have recently joined this community having recently moved from California.
I would love to meet and network with other IPs who are working in the Aged Care Sector.
I am based in Victoria and just coming down from the COVID roller coaster here.
I would be happy to share learnings that we have had and see what others are doing within their residences for strategies in general.

Thanks

Sarah
