Infection, Prevention and Control
Our hospitals admit some of the sickest people in our community. What can be a simple illness to a healthy person can have devastating consequences for an unwell patient. The HHS infection, prevention and control team is committed to preventing infections that can be transmitted in health-care settings, and controlling outbreaks.
The team also provides a consultation and education service for a range of infection control issues.
Our team of health care professionals provide the following services:
- Multi-disciplinary education programs
- On-site visits and audits
- Assistance with establishing and facilitating infection control programs
- Infection surveillance, outbreak monitoring and response,
- Assistance with redevelopment and refurbishment of buildings

The Townsville Hospital and Health Service acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which our health facilities have been built and on which we meet today.
We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging; and we value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and knowledge.
