This resource outlines what antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is, and how we need to limit our use of antimicrobials – such as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and antiparasitics – to reduce the risk of drug-resistant infections and impact of AMR.

It also outlines potential patient harms to the individual and the broader community from antimicrobial use and resistance. This resource supports the release of AURA 2023: Fifth Australian Report on Antimicrobial Use and Resistance in Human Health on 16 November 2023.

AURA 2023: Fifth Australian Report on Antimicrobial Use and Resistance in Human Health was released on 16 November 2023, highlighting data trends and analyses across acute and community care settings. 

This A4 infographic showcases key data highlights from AURA 2023 on antimicrobial use in Australia.

This resource provides an overview of the types of personal protective equipment (PPE) used and patient placement requirements for standard precautions and for transmission-based precautions. A local risk assessment should always be undertaken to determine the most appropriate PPE and patient placement for the delivery of care.
