EG: wipe top to bottom, far to near, etc

michael.wishart@svha.org.auThanks for opening this discussion and for the resource links Carrie, I am about to start working with our Hospitality GM on these items too!
Hi everyone,
Please be aware that there are many resources now sitting under the ‘resource’ heading on the top of the ACIPC webpage – simply hover over the word and let the drop box come out.
IPC collaborative resources, by country/region and specific settings: https://www.acipc.org.au/
or
Aged Care specifically: https://www.acipc.org.au/aged-care/resources-australasian-aged-care/No longer do you have to go search it’s all in one easy place.
Kind regards Carrie
