Kate Ryan

Kate Ryan began her health career as a physiotherapist. From experiences as an acute cardiothoracic physio, an interest in Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) was sparked, and from here Kate took up a role within the founding team of Hand Hygiene Australia in 2008. IPC became Kate’s passion, completing the Foundations course in 2018, a credentialed member of ACIPC in 2019, then completing the Infection Control Grad Certificate at Griffith University in 2022.

Kate is still involved with HHA to this day, however she now has a role within Austin Health as a part of the Reusable Medical Device program.
