It’s hard to keep on top of infection control when there’s so much on your mind.
You probably know what needs to be done, but you don’t have the time to do it. Your IPC Lead probably doesn’t either. Researching takes too much time. Education is hard to coordinate.
Fortunately, you’re in the right place.
Bug Control has been helping aged care facilities prevent infections and outbreaks since 1995.

Bug Control’s membership provides multi-user access to our education and resource platform which allows Bug Control members access to a wealth of IPC resources, including mandatory training, our certification program and educational videos. We have updated our resources to reflect the requirements of the Aged Care Quality Standards (ACQS) following their introduction on July 1 2019, and the Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare (NHMRC guidelines, May 2019).

We’ve been helping Aged Care Facilities across Australia and NZ to protect their consumers and staff from potentially deadly infections for almost twenty-five years. Our clients are delighted with our quality of service, but don’t just take our word for it — here’s what they have to say.
“Following a major outbreak in 2016, we were very concerned about not repeating our experiences.
Working with Bug Control was(and continues to be) an outstanding experience. Since developing and implementing the Zero Outbreak Plan we have had zero outbreaks.”
Director of Care, Maroba
“Bug Control (Infection Control Advisory Service) worked with St Sergius Aged Care to develop a strategic plan and step-by-step guidance to prevent and control infections among our care recipients and staff.
Winter in 2017 was the worst flu season on record and the strategy was very successful. We have been very impressed at the outcome of all projects offered by Bug Control.”
Director of Care, St. Sergius Aged Care
”The Pioneers Lodge Aged Care Facility has had the pleasure of working with the professional staff at Bug Control for the past 10 years.
Over this time we have received staff training that is up to date and individualized at our Facility. We have found all their manuals to be clear, easy to understand, concise yet comprehensive and very relevant to the aged care environment. We would definitely recommend Bug Control to others.”
