Counting Down the Days!

Bringing together Industry, Science & Practice to raise the standard of Healthcare Cleaning & Infection Prevention

Healthcare cleaning in Aged Care is no longer a support function. It is a frontline infection prevention system.

At iClean Conference 2026 – Aged Care Day, we focus on the real risks facing aged care providers today: vulnerable residents, increasing regulatory scrutiny, workforce pressure, and the need to prove—not assume—cleaning performance.

This one-day, sector-specific conference is designed for leaders responsible for infection prevention, hospitality, cleaning, quality and compliance in residential aged care.
