: This study has received ethical approval (The University of Queensland HREC 20020002193). Approval was granted to allow participating facilities to sign a waiver of consent, given that the research team would only access retrospective de-identified resident data. The results will be disseminated via reports to the aged care facilities, their governing bodies and key stakeholders. In addition, our findings will be disseminated using academic papers, presentation at scientific conferences and a general report of key findings and recommendations for a broader rollout of antimicrobial stewardship activities in Australian RACFs.
