The purpose of the Roles and responsibilities in the control of communicable disease and health care associate infections (the document) is to establish clear roles and responsibilities of CDCD and HSPs with regard to control and communicable disease and health care associated infections.

This document supports consistency and linkages across the WA health system, in the governance, development and management of services aimed at preventing and controlling communicable diseases and healthcare associated infections.

The Public Health Policy Framework specifies the public health requirements that all Health Service Providers (HSPs) must comply with in order to ensure effective and consistent public health service across the WA health system.
