    Hi Brett,
    I’ve listened to quite a few episodes and it’s great. Well done.
    You’ve made it interesting and quite funny at times as well as providing
    great information.
    Keep up the good work.

    hi Jude,

    We used to use these at Castlemaine during outbreaks. You could probably
    give Sue Wyatt a call there. I do recall something down the track about
    them not being great for some reason so I’d check first. They did cut down
    cleaning time significantly although you still need to do surfaces. It was
    more for the soft furnishings etc.

    Cheers, Amanda

    Hi Jude,

    You might try either the Aged Care Quality unit or the Department of Health
    number used to report elder abuse or missing residents. The aged care
    quality unit have always been pretty helpful in my experience.

    Hi Elizabeth,

    You could purchase a temperature logger that will send you text messages
    and that you can log in to check temps. That way you wouldn’t have to
    attend in person.
