Abstract
Introduction: Healthcare-associated infections are serious and significant complications present across healthcare services, including residential & aged care facilities (RACFs). Although ensuring high quality personal and clinical care delivered to those residing in these facilities is a high national priority, there is a paucity of evidence about outbreaks, governance and education programs held for healthcare workers within Australian residential aged care facilities. This study aims to examine the scope of practice of infection control practitioners (ICPs) within Australian residential aged care facilities and the types of infection prevention and control education and training delivered.
