The Commission is inviting feedback on the revised clinical practice recommendations and new good practice statements to inform the future development of the third edition of the Guidelines.
The new edition is not a full revision of the publication.
The consultation focuses on the revised clinical practice recommendations for transmission-based precautions and new good practice statements for respiratory precautions, the appropriate use of alcohol-based hand scrub and the appropriate placement of handwashing basins.
Don’t miss the opportunity to help shape the future of infection prevention and control guidance in Australia by:
- providing feedback via our online survey
- sharing the consultation resources with anyone in your network who may be interested.
Have your say before our consultation closes on Tuesday, 29 September 2026.
