After carrying out IPC environmental audits across hundreds of aged care facilities in Australia and New Zealand, we consistently see the same gaps come up.

Here are 4 of the most common:

1. Hand hygiene compliance that looks good on paper - but hasn't been independently verified
2. High-touch surfaces being missed in routine cleaning schedules
3. PPE storage that inadvertently creates contamination risk
4. AMS practices that are outdated or not consistently followed

None of these reflect badly on the teams involved. They're systemic gaps that only become visible under an independent clinical review.

That's exactly what an IPC Environmental Audit is for.

If any of these sound familiar, it might be time to get an expert set of eyes on your facility.

Here's something most facility managers don't realise:

When we carry out an IPC audit, we don't just measure your facility against a standard - we benchmark you against hundreds of real aged care facilities across Australia and New Zealand.

That means you get genuine, contextual insight. Not a pass/fail. A real picture of where your facility sits and what the leading facilities are doing differently.

Our clinical team travels across ANZ year-round, which means our benchmarking data is current, relevant, and specific to the aged care environment.

Does your facility know how it compares?

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.

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.
