Infection control for aged care
Aged care providers answer to the Strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards, and those duties stay with the provider. We work beside your infection prevention lead and keep the process that already works, for homes anywhere in Australia, from Melbourne and Sydney to Brisbane.
Common problems, and how we approach them
- 01
Outbreak response.
When an outbreak is spreading, we come in, set the cleaning and disinfection process around your layout and your people, and train the team to hold it. Public health notification stays with the provider.
- 02
Cleaning that looks right but is not checked.
We observe a routine clean and confirm each product stays wet for the time its label requires.
- 03
Water systems that nobody owns.
We review how water is run, filtered and checked, and bring in a Legionella specialist where needed.
- 04
Too many products in use.
We match each one to its register entry and keep the chemistry that already works.
- 05
Staff who change often.
Short training sessions and a written process keep the standard the same across every team.
From the field

The trolley clean-down became standard practice and was adopted more widely across the group.

No further surface damage. The facility avoided replacing furniture that had been worn down by the wrong product, not by age.
