Hi Robyn
There are locally available protective face masks in large quantity from FDA accredited facilities with pharma grade materials that have come in – just not TGA credited at present but they are from reputable source.
If you wish to have further information please contact me.

Best regards
Helen

Hello brains trust

In SA, new Emergency Management (RACF) Directions have been put out requiring all Care Workers, Nursing, Allied Health and Medical staff to wear face masks in residential care facilities when social distancing can not be achieved

It is unclear at this point what assistance we will be provided sourcing these masks from SA Health
We have calculated for our organisation (800+ residential beds) we will need approximately 11,000 masks a week
Our PPE contractors have been unable to supply our previous orders for masks, so we have no hope of securing these numbers on a weekly basis
We have also tried alternate suppliers we have sourced PPE from

Im not sure what ACIPC group rules are in place re my request, but I am after any leads from within this group for sourcing TGA approved face masks / potential suppliers
Please delete my email if this request sits outside of group guidelines

Many thanks
Robyn
