Australia IDDSI Reference Group
Greetings from the AUIRG – the Australian IDDSI Reference Group. We are a group of volunteers from around Australia, in a range of different settings, all involved in IDDSI implementation and review. We meet monthly to guide, foster, advocate, facilitate and support IDDSI – and we would love to hear more from you.
Top 3 Priorities:
- Conduct environmental scan to determine current IDDSI implementation needs
- Test Mashed potato to provide guideline and recommendations
- Adapt/ Modify educational materials
Volunteers wanted! If you are interested in joining, please contact: australia@iddsi.net
