Protect Participants, Streamline Compliance
Robust infection prevention and control (IPC) is critical for safeguarding participant health and meeting NDIS Practice Standards. Providers must demonstrate proactive risk management and clear response protocols across all service environments. Our NDIS Infection Prevention and Control Plan Guide simplifies this complex requirement. Designed to support safe service delivery, this audit-ready resource ensures your organization identifies, prevents, and manages infection risks effectively while satisfying WHS obligations and public health guidance.
Inside the guide, you’ll find:
- Regulatory & Legislative Alignment: A clear framework that aligns your operations with the NDIS Practice Standards (Core Module), the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements, and Australian health guidelines, ensuring you meet all compliance obligations.
- Proactive Risk Identification: A structured approach to assessing infection risks across all settings—including in-home supports, transport, and community activities while specifically considering participant vulnerabilities and shared equipment.
- Comprehensive Prevention Protocols: Detailed definitions and procedures for both Standard Precautions (such as hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette) and Transmission-Based Precautions (contact, droplet, and airborne), ensuring staff are equipped for any scenario.
- Incident & Outbreak Management: Step-by-step response plans for suspected or confirmed infections, including immediate isolation measures, management notification, and mandatory reporting to the NDIS Commission and health authorities.
- Audit-Ready Compliance Checklist: A dedicated self-assessment tool to verify that your governance, workforce training, waste management, and documentation are fully implemented and ready for external audit.
