The Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control (ACIPC)
recognises the extraordinary efforts of many members and colleagues in the
infection prevention field in dealing with the challenges of the novel
coronavirus (2019-nCoV).ACIPC support a coordinated and considered response, and recommends members
follow direction from the Australian Government Department of Health and
jurisdictional health departments.ACIPC is well represented at the Government level in developing strategies
for this outbreak, ensuring the infection prevention and control information
provided is appropriate. These recommendations are constantly under review
and subject to change as new information about the virus is revealed.To ensure updated and appropriate guidelines are followed, we encourage all
members to seek guidance from the following resourcesAustralian Government ACT NSW NT QLD SA TAS VIC WA Smart Traveller

Furthermore, ACIPC strongly reject misinformation being spread among the
public which can lead to false assumptions about members of our
culture-diverse population and cause unnecessary distress. Members are urged
to call out and shut down all racism and xenophobia.In unison with the recent statement from colleagues of the Australasian
Society for Infectious Diseases (ASID), ACIPC once again call for the
establishment of a national centre of disease control to coordinate and
centralise responses in these times.A/Prof Phil Russo
