Safety Culture (also known as iAuditor) is designed to help practices align with relevant legislation and requirements for infection control, WHS, and other regulated areas such as medication management. For those practices that perform surgicals, we have also implemented an audit for following aseptic processes.
Safety Culture also provides current and ongoing evidence for accreditation, so practices don’t have to collate documentation separately (this is very time consuming and takes a lot of resources that we don’t have). This way practices have a standardised way of monitoring their compliance, knowing if they are meeting these obligations, and it also ensures that all our practices are being measured against the same standards.
It also protects practitioners, as they are legally responsible for IPC – you can delegate a task but not the responsibility, so by monitoring processes we can address any deficiencies and reduce risk of breaches/incidents.
Audit Schedule
Below is the current audit schedule. Please note that this is subject to change, depending on the results that we see as we go.
- Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) – 6 monthly
- Aseptic Technique – 6 monthly (in conjunction with IPC audit)
- First Aid Kit & Defibrillator Check – daily
- WHS – 6 monthly

Process to complete an audit
- Download Safety Culture app onto phone or other hand held device. Alternatively you can access the site via your desktop (desktop makes the process slower, you will need to take photos separately and then upload them to your desktop).

- Two tabs will appear: Templates and In Progress & Complete. Select Templates.

- Answer questions as per the Safety Culture template – it will guide you through.
- As you move through the template, you may be required to provide photos and add notes – the app will prompt you. These photos and/or notes will be mandatory and you will not be able to complete the self assessment until you have provided these.
- If you are unable to provide evidence at the time you are completing the assessment, you can save your progress by clicking “Complete inspection”.
- A prompt will then appear with two options: Review inspection and Save as in progress. Select whichever is applicable.
- If you have elected to save your self assessment as in progress, you can return to it later by selecting Inspections from the bottom menu, then select In Progress & Complete. Your self assessment will appear here.
- Select your assessment and then select Continue Inspection. Progress through the template as required.
- Once you have completed your inspection, select Complete Inspection.
- Two options will be available: View & export report and Save and close. Select Save and close.
