Healthcare and Aged Care are of the most specialised and highly regulated sectors in the cleaning and facilities industry. Success requires far more than technical cleaning knowledge—it demands an understanding of infection prevention, patient safety, healthcare procurement, workforce capability, compliance obligations and operational risk. Achieving these outcomes relies on collaboration between a diverse range of healthcare professionals, each bringing unique expertise and perspectives to a shared goal: delivering safer environments for patients, staff and visitors. This masterclass brings those perspectives together to provide practical insights that strengthen capability, improve service delivery and support long-term success.

This interactive workshop provides practical guidance on operating successfully within healthcare environments. Whether you’re looking to enter the sector or strengthen your existing healthcare capability, attendees will gain valuable insights into best practice, tender readiness, workforce development and the standards that underpin safe, high-performing healthcare services.

Participants will leave with practical knowledge, greater confidence and a clearer understanding of what it takes to build trusted, long-term partnerships in one of Australia’s most demanding and rewarding service sectors.

    Executive Director, Healthcare Surfaces Institute (HSI)

    Linda Lybert is the Founder and Executive Director of the Healthcare Surfaces Institute (HSI), now a division of ISSA, where she also leads the newly established ISSA Healthcare Division. With 27 years of experience in the healthcare industry, Linda is a nationally recognized expert in infection prevention, with a specialized focus on the role surfaces play in the transmission of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

    She developed the Seven Aspects of Surface Selection©, a groundbreaking framework that addresses the complex factors influencing surface safety and hygiene in healthcare environments. Her work has consistently emphasized the need for a multidisciplinary approach, uniting professionals from infection prevention, materials science, design, and healthcare operations.

    To address the fragmented efforts across the industry, Linda founded HSI with a board of global experts, creating the first collaborative dedicated solely to surface-related challenges in healthcare. Under her leadership, the Institute has become a hub for research, education, and innovation aimed at reducing HAIs through improved surface design, selection, and maintenance.

    In 2024, HSI merged with ISSA, and Linda is now spearheading the development of the ISSA Healthcare Division, which provides strategic guidance, training, and resources to healthcare professionals, manufacturers, and building service providers focused on healthcare environmental hygiene.
