If you work in aged care, you've likely heard the term "IPC audit" - but what does it actually involve?

An IPC Environmental Audit is an independent, on-site assessment of your facility's infection prevention and control practices. A certified clinical consultant visits your site, reviews your environment, identifies risks, and provides a detailed report with clear, actionable recommendations.

It's not an inspection designed to catch you out. It's a clinical tool designed to help you lead.

At IPS, our auditors visit hundreds of facilities across Australia and New Zealand every year, which means we bring real benchmarking data to every visit, not just a checklist.

Know where you stand. Book an IPC Audit today.

Happy World Hand Hygiene Day 2026 👏

This year’s global message says it all: Action saves lives.
And in aged care, that action starts with clean hands.

Throughout Hand Hygiene Week, we’re celebrating the power of hand hygiene and the critical role you play in protecting residents, reducing infections, and strengthening everyday safety in care settings.

Why hand hygiene matters:
Hand hygiene remains the single most effective way to prevent the spread of harmful germs. Every moment of hand cleaning is a simple action that truly can save lives.

🌟 **Competition Time: Show us your action**
We’d love to see how you’re bringing Hand Hygiene Week to life in your facility.

Submit your photos below showing what you’re doing to promote hand hygiene awareness - from education sessions and posters to creative campaigns and staff engagement.

We’ll choose our favourite entry to win an IPS voucher, redeemable across any of our products or workshops, including our brand new Hand Hygiene Kits.

“The facilities that handle infections well are not the ones with the most policies. They are the ones where the clinical team understands why the policies exist.”

That is from Bridgette Mackie, Clinical Director here at Infection Prevention Services — and it is something we come back to again and again when we talk about AMS in aged care.

Policies matter. Documentation matters. But understanding is what changes behaviour at the bedside.

When a nurse knows why antibiotics are prescribed conservatively — not just that they should be — prescribing conversations change. Communication with GPs improves. Residents receive better, safer care.

That understanding is exactly what our May series builds.
