Bali Luxe Medical adhere to the following hygiene practices. These protocols comply with Australian legislation and guidelines at a clinical level.
• Hand Hygiene:
• Ensure all staff practise proper hand hygiene by washing hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitiser before and after contact with patients.
• Provide hand sanitiser stations throughout the facility, especially at entrances, patient rooms, and common areas.
• Cleaning and Disinfection:
• Regularly clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces such as door handles, light switches, handrails, and medical equipment.
• Use hospital-grade disinfectants approved by Australian standards for cleaning.
• Implement a routine cleaning schedule for all areas, including patient rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, and communal spaces.
• Patient Rooms:
• Clean and disinfect patient rooms thoroughly between patient stays.
• Use disposable or single-use items where possible to minimise cross-contamination.
• Ensure bed linens, towels, and gowns are laundered at high temperatures and changed regularly.
• Medical Equipment:
• Sterilise all medical equipment and instruments according to Australian healthcare standards.
• Use disposable medical supplies (e.g., needles, syringes) whenever possible and dispose of them in designated sharps containers.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
• Provide appropriate PPE (e.g., gloves, masks, gowns) for all staff members based on their roles and risk of exposure.
• Ensure proper use, disposal, and replacement of PPE to maintain hygiene standards.
• Waste Management:
• Implement a waste management system that includes proper segregation, collection, and disposal of medical and general waste.
• Ensure sharps and hazardous waste are disposed of in compliance with Australian regulations.
• Infection Control Policies:
• Develop and enforce infection control policies and procedures consistent with Australian guidelines. The Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare, provided by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), outline evidence-based practices to prevent and manage infections. These guidelines cover aspects such as hand hygiene, use of PPE, environmental cleaning, waste management, and the safe use of medical equipment. Our policies ensure adherence to these standards, minimising the risk of infection for both patients and staff.

• Maintain good ventilation in all areas, especially patient rooms and treatment areas.
• Use air purifiers and filters where necessary to reduce airborne contaminants.
• Water Quality:
• Ensure water used for drinking, cooking, and medical purposes meets Australian quality standards.
• Regularly test water quality and maintain filtration systems.
• Health Screening:
• Screen staff and patients for symptoms of infectious diseases before allowing entry into the facility.
• Implement protocols for managing and isolating patients with infectious conditions.
• Visitor Policies:
• Limit the number of visitors and implement visitor screening procedures.
• Provide guidelines for visitors on hygiene practices, including hand hygiene and PPE use.
• Food Safety:
• Adhere to Australian food safety standards in the kitchen and dining areas.
• Ensure all food is prepared, stored, and served under hygienic conditions.
• Staff Training and Compliance:
• Conduct regular training sessions for all staff on hygiene practices and infection control.
