Momentum Consulting is an established Registered Training Organisation (RTO ID: 60072) with the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) having expertise in designing innovative programs that help organisations provide career development with our nationally recognised qualifications. Momentum Consulting wanted to engage with small businesses to ensure they understood the gravity of the upcoming changes through the provision of a Workplace Infection Prevention and Control course.
As a result of COVID-19, many workers require skills to decrease transmission of infection when undertaking their daily duties. While the fundamental principles of infection control may be consistent, these skills will likely require some contextualisation in different industries.
During 2020, the Australian Government partnered with all state and territory governments to establish an $80 million Infection Control Training Fund. This was to fast‑track free or heavily subsidised infection control training in support of the re-opening of customer‑facing businesses nationwide.
The funding would provide at least 80,000 places to support this critical infection control training in customer-facing businesses including retail, tourism, hospitality, cleaning, security, transport and logistics, aged and disability care.
Working closely with Kineo, a Workplace Infection Prevention and Control course was created. This was developed and delivered to a fast turnaround, supported by a collaborative go-to-market-strategy with Business Australia to get the messaging out to an extensive audience.
Business Australia hosted a webinar and promoted to Business Australia members. The panel speakers included a well credentialed and impartial government representative from WorkSafe to manage expectations and explain regulatory change and Kineo APAC’s MD, a leadership expert.
Both applied their specialism and discussed implementing changes and leading through change, brought about by COVID-19.The webinar focused on bolstering business progress, managing risk and infection protection control education where everyone has a role in managing ongoing COVID-19 risks.
In partnership with Momentum Consulting, Kineo Courses in APAC produced a 2-hour course on Workplace Infection Prevention and Control to promote behaviourally focused learning outcomes.

The course contains professional voice over and can turn on Accessibility functionality for learners with a disability.
Upon completion of the Workplace Infection Prevention and Control course, learners will be able to;
The course was delivered in record time; in less than 4 weeks. It has already been rolled out through Momentum Consulting with 1,000 learners forecasted to complete the course and activity assessments before the end of the year
