Infection Prevention and Management Featured Image

Infection Prevention and Management

As the COVID-19 situation evolves, this area is a key focus of community services organisations. 

 

Many are looking at Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) needs.

Services need to be delivered to service users in a way that keeps everyone safe.

We have a suite of resources developed by Industry, for Industry, to help you accelerate your planning and preparation.

There is the 30 minute COVID 19 – Infection Control Training course from Australian Department of Health that all staff should be encouraged to complete.

It steps through what COVID-19 is, the signs and symptoms, keeping safe by protecting yourself and others, and myth busting.

The following materials have been adapted to work by a community service organisation. You can review and modify them to meet your organisation’s needs:

Queensland Health has a range of resources and information to support your infection prevention and control planning and implementation.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Understanding what you need, when you will need it and how to use it properly is important over the coming months. We have put together a guide with the information you need for preparing for and using PPE.

Planning your PPE needs for the coming months is critical to make sure you have enough.

Check out our PPE resources and tools

Prevention and mitigation measures are key! The best things your staff can do:

  • Wash their hands regularly
  • Avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth
  • Practise social distancing
  • Practise respiratory hygiene.
