Dear [Manager’s Name],

I am writing to request your support to attend the annual conference hosted by the Australasian College for Infection Prevention and Control (ACIPC). This conference is a leading education and networking event for infection prevention and control professionals (IPCP’s), designed to strengthen clinical knowledge, share current research, and support best practice in infection prevention and control (IPC) across healthcare settings.

The conference program typically includes:

  • keynote presentations from national and international experts in infection prevention and control
  • sessions covering current and emerging IPC issues, including antimicrobial resistance, outbreak management, surveillance, and healthcare-associated infection prevention
  • practical and evidence-based presentations that support improvements in patient safety and quality of care
  • networking with peers and experts from across Australia and internationally, providing opportunities to share experiences and learn from best practice approaches.

I believe attending this conference will directly benefit both my professional development and our team. The knowledge and insights gained will support improvements in infection prevention practices, enhance patient safety, and ensure we remain aligned with current standards and best practice. I would also be happy to share key learnings with colleagues following the conference to maximise the value of this opportunity.

The registration fee is ($insert registration cost), and I respectfully request that the organisation support my attendance by covering the fee. (Add if you are seeking additional support such as travel, accommodation or study leave),

Thank you for considering my request. I am confident this opportunity will provide valuable insights that will benefit both my professional development and our organisation.

Kind regards,

[Your Name]
