Govt launches new PPE request process, online learning

Published 27th March 2020

The Department of Health has launched a new process for aged care providers to order personal protective supplies and a new learning module for aged care workers.

The Government, which previously said it had a stockpile of personal protective equipment (PPE) the aged care sector could access, has launched a process for providers to ask for it.

However, providers are still expected to try and source the PPE elsewhere first, and priority will be given to services with confirmed cases of coronavirus or influenza.
