Course Description

The purpose of this course is to equip community and disability support workers with the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to manage sharps and prevent exposure to bloodborne pathogens. Sharps injuries pose significant health risks, including the potential transmission of serious diseases such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV. Beyond health implications, improper handling of sharps can create legal, compliance, and organisational risks, particularly in settings regulated by the NDIS and Australian infection control frameworks. This course provides clear guidance on safe handling, correct disposal, and immediate response procedures to protect workers, participants, and the broader community. It is not only about following rules but also about embedding safe practices into daily routines to promote a culture of vigilance, accountability, and responsibility.

Course Outcomes

By the end of this training session, learners will be able to:

Define sharps safety and identify common bloodborne pathogens Learners will understand what constitutes a sharp, the risks associated with improper handling, and the main bloodborne pathogens that pose a threat in disability and aged care settings.
Recognise risks associated with sharps use in disability and aged care Learners will be able to identify common workplace situations where sharps injuries can occur and evaluate how these risks impact both staff and participants.
Apply safe procedures for sharps handling, disposal, and incident response Participants will practice the correct methods of handling, storing, and disposing of sharps, and will be prepared to respond immediately and appropriately to any exposure incidents.
Align practice with policies, protocols, and national standards Learners will connect their workplace actions with NDIS Practice Standards, infection prevention guidelines, and organisational policies to ensure compliance and accountability.
