Abstract

There are few reports of infection surveillance in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) within Australia. Prior to 2006, limited infection surveillance was undertaken within the units/wards of the RACF at Kingston Centre, Melbourne, Australia. This paper discusses the changes that have been introduced to the surveillance program at Kingston Centre and the literature review undertaken.
