This eLearning program provides healthcare professionals with the foundational knowledge required to understand and apply the principles of Aseptic Non-Touch Technique (ANTT) in clinical practice.

ANTT is a recognised, evidence-based framework used across healthcare settings to maintain asepsis during invasive procedures and when managing key parts and key sites. A sound understanding of ANTT is essential for reducing the risk of healthcare-associated infections and supporting safe, high-quality patient care.

This course focuses on the theoretical components of aseptic technique, supporting clinicians to develop a clear understanding of when and how ANTT should be applied in practice, in line with national infection prevention and control standards and the NSQHS Standards.

Key areas covered include:

• Principles of aseptic technique and the ANTT framework
• Identification and protection of key parts and key sites
• Risk assessment and selection of standard vs surgical aseptic technique
• Environmental controls and preparation for aseptic procedures
• Infection prevention and control considerations in clinical practice
• Common breaches in aseptic technique and how to avoid them

This program is suitable for nurses, midwives, and healthcare professionals working across a range of clinical settings who require knowledge-based training in aseptic technique as part of their mandatory education or professional development.

Please note:
This course is theory-based only and does not include a practical competency assessment.
