This page includes information on infection prevention and control (IPC) strategies for carbapenemase-producing organisms (CPOs) and links to additional resources.
These posters show the key steps for standard precautions and when caring for patients who require transmission-based precautions, due to a known or suspected infection.
The Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare was jointly developed by the Commission and the NHMRC. The Guidelines, together with Commission guidance for specific organisms, provide healthcare workers and health service organisations with support to develop tailored local protocols and processes for infection prevention and control.
The Commission has developed a suite of eLearning modules on hand hygiene and infection prevention and control.
