Infection Control Training

The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) has identified infection control training as a key priority across a range of industry sectors during the COVID-19 pandemic.

These newly developed infection control skill sets have been created to help minimise the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus as Australia moves towards the rebuilding of businesses, the workforce, and a stronger economy.

The fee free Infection Control skill sets enable infection control training for the retail, food handling, transport & logistics and community services sectors. The courses are contextualised to meet the varying environments and designed to support individuals who require infection control skills and knowledge to decrease the risk and transmission of infection whilst carrying out their daily duties.
