I am located in central Victoria we havent had the issue of ABHR being stolen however we also have people with Dementia where one did remove the bottle from the original dispenser. We purchased clear Perspex holders which made it a lot more difficult to remove. This worked for us however we are also aged care.

Is it staff or visitors removing it If you gave CCTV maybe some more visible signs that the areas are monitored may help.

It is very frustrating when these things happen.

Kind regards

Kelsey Hooper
