While considerable efforts for improving infection prevention and control (IPC) in residential aged care homes (RACHs) were made during the public health emergency of COVID-19, these efforts were largely reactive anddrawn from evidence developed in acute healthcare settings. Unlike hospitals, RACHs have lacked context-specific national and jurisdictional standards and guidelines for IPC, and this has led to considerable variation in its practice and evaluation.
