AICA was formed in 1985 thus bringing together the various State and Territory infection control associations to support and encourage collaboration at a national level.
AICA is the peak national body representing the interests of the specialist practice of infection control within Australia. The Association provides a forum for individuals who are practicing, or have a working interest in the specialist field of infection control.
The organizational structure of the Association is reflective of the State and Territory collaborative partners. AICA has an executive comprising an appointed representative from each State and Territory with an association. In accordance with the Rules of the Association the members elect a National President every second year. The AICA Executive progress their activities through both face to face and telelink meetings.
AICA as the national body works with a variety of stakeholders to develop strategies aimed at minimising the risk of health care associated infections (HAI). Our association is committed to the development and endorsement of best practice in relation to infection management and prevention through both innovative and collaborative efforts, including the support of research.
