Hi All,
Going back a few years Victoria introduced cleaning standards and trained people (IPC and Hotel Services Staff) to audit their own and other facilities. Just wondering if this is still a thing, and if so who overseas the standards and the training?? Thanks in advance.

Hi Matt,
My experience when these audits were in place (large acute care facility/community hospital/aged care facility) was that the audit training was internal.
The audit tool was fairly self-explanatory as it included a scoring system so easy to follow.
Initially the audits were multidisciplinary however because it was labour intensive (one of the problems) it was usually just done by an experienced environmental services manager or the corporate person overseeing the service.
There was also an annual external audit undertaken. This was conducted by a private company/contractors, some of whom were ICPs.
I do know of a facility that is still doing these audits so if you need an ICP contact drop me an email infexion@ozemail.com.au
Regards
