    Good morning Everyone,

    I hope there is someone out there who is able to help me.

    We have been using the Grampian Regions Infections Control data since 2014, which is now really out of date with all the changes related to aged care and because many facilities are now only admitting high care residents with man co-morbidities.
    Ive done a search online and on the Victorian Health website, but without luck.
    Is there anyone out there using updated data and who would be ale to direct me.

    Thank you in advance

    Kristin,
    You may have already looked at this, but the standard components in the AusHFG guidelines have the measurements (link and example below) for all types of rooms.

    Thank you everyone for your support.
    The AHBG are great, however they don’t provide the measurements needed.
    Nevertheless, one of our wonderful colleagues had the exact information required on hand.
    Kind regards
