    Dear All
    Wondering if anyone knows of / has education material for the above.

    More particularly
    1) Reputable website re: cleaning demonstrations (I thought I saw one via ACIPC group, it had 5 techniques to cleaning)
    EG: wipe top to bottom, far to near, etc
    2) Reputable website with cleaning training modules (eg: ACQSC, VICNISS, etc)
    3) Cleaning competency tool for cleaning staff

    Please email me directly.
    With great thanks.

    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
