Australian Infection Control (AIC)

Australian Infection Control was a peer-reviewed professional journal first published in 1995 with ISSN 1329-9360. It focused on infection prevention and control practices, professional surveillance methods, healthcare-associated infections, and related public health issues in clinical and community settings. The journal served as a key publication of the Australian Infection Control Association (AICA), providing infection control professionals with research, discussion, and applied best practice from both Australia and abroad. Historically produced on a quarterly schedule, issues contained original research, practice updates, reviews, and commentary from infection control practitioners. Over time, the journal’s tradition evolved — during the mid-2010s it was linked to titles such as Healthcare Infection and later superseded in focus by modern publications like Infection, Disease & Health published by Elsevier on behalf of the Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control (ACIPC). While archival editorial listings show involvement of professional editorial board members, no public record currently lists a single chief editor and direct email for the original Australian Infection Control journal. The AICA/ACIPC historically acted as the professional publisher/association body, with contact via Brisbane addresses and association mailboxes.
