COVID-Clean infection control training

The Government of South Australia is working with industry associations to finalise a training program for frontline workers that will help businesses adopt healthy hygiene practices as COVID-19 restrictions ease.

To be delivered by local registered training providers, participants will learn a range of skills, including hand hygiene practices, effective surface cleaning, use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and disposal of contaminated waste.

The aim of this COVID-Clean Toolkit is to ensure South Australians can confidently return to supporting our local shops and eateries when health advice permits. Employers and training providers can register their interest below. Employees should contact their employers in the first instance.
