Subject: Tender Opportunity – Murray Primary Health Network – closes 8th April

(distribution to the ACIPC network has been paid for by Murray PHN).

Murray Primary Health Network are currently seeking submissions to establish an Infection Prevention Control Consultancy Service for a period of 6 months and are reaching out to services who may be interested in applying to deliver these services. Details are as follows:

Murray PHN on behalf of the state Department of Health and Victorian PHNs is seeking submissions from suitably credentialled and qualified infection prevention and control professionals/organisations to develop and pilot a phone and remote video based advisory service to deliver individual, tailored Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) assessment and support services to all Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations, General Practices and Community Pharmacies across the state of Victoria. The service will be practically orientated and tailored to direct care service providers.

The service will run for a period of 6 months to help support the workforce and patients return to a safe, COVID normal primary care environment.

The overarching objective is to provide general practices, ACCHOs and Community Pharmacies with a dedicated resource to support themselves and their staff during this time. It will be designed to provide direct infection prevention and control support and advice in addition to allowing access to health practitioners and standardised reference resources for example instructional videos. Murray PHN will also be developing a suite of educational resources as part of this project.

The tenders opened on Friday and will close on Thursday April 8th and it is envisaged that the service should be up and running by Monday 3rd -10th May, concluding Friday 29th October 2021.

ACIPC Members – I am sending this on behalf of Artas Architects who have contacted the College. If you are able to assist please engage with them directly.

Artas Architects have been engaged by DHHS to design and document new acute medical unit within the existing area of Launceston General Hospital.

We are seeking advice from an Infection Prevention Consultant on the use of materials and best practice in renovation.

The interior of this area will be completely demolished to suit the brief and level of services required to operate new isolation rooms.

Our issues stand with ceilings – currently we have ceiling tiles proposed in the corridors and sealed plasterboard ceilings in isolation rooms, anterooms and ensuites.

Our preferred selection of the ceiling tiles for the AMU corridor was Humancare|Sinfonia by OWA however the request has come from the DHHS to install plasterboard ceiling instead unless we can find a product that proves these ceiling tiles would guarantee airborne transmission prevention or any other leaks.

We have no issue of installing plasterboard ceiling in the corridors apart from the fact that in the long term it would be more practical to maintain ceiling services through the appropriate management of ceiling tiles. If we were to have the plasterboard ceiling in the corridor we need to have access hatches every 1.2m.

The request has come from DHHS to propose a ceiling tile system of equivalent air seal/containment to plasterboard ceiling (with evidence and has been tested to meet relevant Aust Standards, etc.).

We are seeking to engage a consultant to advise on specific ceiling products used in Australia with concrete evidence of compliance with Australian Standards in regards to airborne transmission prevention.

We have a deadline to provide answers to DHHS by mid next week (17/3/21).

If you are able to assist please contact me directly (email or phone). Consultation fees can be discussed.

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards
