Product Overview
The Infection Control and Hygiene Policy is a professionally drafted, Australian-focused WHS document designed to help organisations prevent and manage the spread of infectious diseases in the workplace. Built around current Australian work health and safety legislation, public health guidance and industry standards, this policy provides a clear, practical framework for managing infection risks in day-to-day operations.
Whether you operate in disability and aged care, commercial cleaning, hospitality and events, or retail and wholesale, this policy gives you a robust, ready-to-use foundation for safer work practices. It is written in plain, practical Australian English and uses terminology familiar to WHS managers, supervisors and frontline workers.
Key Features
- Comprehensive coverage of infection prevention and control measures, from standard precautions through to transmission-based controls.
- Clearly defined WHS roles and responsibilities for officers, managers, supervisors, workers, contractors and visitors.
- Detailed guidance on hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, PPE selection and use, cleaning, disinfection and waste management.
- Sector-relevant content tailored to disability and aged care, commercial cleaning, hospitality and events, and retail and wholesale environments.
- Practical checklists and tables to support implementation, monitoring and audit activities.
- Structured to integrate seamlessly with your existing safety management system and safety documentation.
Benefits
- Supports WHS compliance by aligning with Australian work health and safety legislation, model Codes of Practice and infection control guidelines.
- Reduces infection risks for workers, clients, residents, customers and visitors, particularly in high-contact and high-vulnerability settings.
- Saves time and internal resources with a policy that is ready to adapt and adopt, rather than drafting from scratch.
- Improves consistency of hygiene and cleaning practices across multiple sites, teams and service types.
- Provides clear guidance for managing suspected or confirmed cases and outbreaks, helping to minimise disruption to operations.
Who is this for?
- Disability and aged care providers delivering in-home or residential services.
- Commercial cleaning companies servicing offices, facilities, healthcare, retail or hospitality venues.
- Hospitality and events businesses including cafes, restaurants, caterers, function centres and event organisers.
- Retail and wholesale operators, including supermarkets, specialty stores and warehouses.
- WHS managers, HR professionals, operations managers and business owners seeking stronger safety documentation and clearer infection control processes.
Legislation & References
This Infection Control and Hygiene Policy is designed to support compliance with relevant Australian WHS laws and guidance, including the Work Health and Safety Acts and Regulations (jurisdiction-specific), Model Codes of Practice on risk management and work environment, and nationally recognised infection prevention guidelines. It also reflects key obligations under public health directions and, where relevant, food safety and human services standards.
By implementing this policy, your organisation can demonstrate a proactive, documented approach to infection control, strengthen WHS compliance and provide safer, healthier workplaces for your staff and the people you support.
