Protecting Residents Starts with Protecting Staff

In today’s aged care environment, infection control is not just best practice — it’s a regulatory requirement. Yet many facilities are still falling short when it comes to compliant N95 fit testing.

Whether you manage clinical operations or oversee infection prevention, one gap in PPE compliance can lead to failed audits, staff exposure, or resident outbreaks.

At N95 Fit Test, we specialise in mobile, nationwide quantitative respirator fit testing for aged care providers. We make compliance easy, efficient, and fully aligned with government expectations.

Why N95 Fit Testing Matters in Aged Care

A proper N95 respirator fit test ensures that masks form a secure seal, preventing airborne pathogens from reaching the user. This is especially critical in aged care, where staff are exposed to:

  • Flu and RSV outbreaks

  • Aerosol-generating procedures

  • Residents with compromised immunity

  • Emergency COVID-19 response protocols

Under Australian Standards (AS/NZS 1715:2009), all tight-fitting respirators must be fit tested before use — and at regular intervals thereafter.

Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT) – The Gold Standard

We use the TSI Portacount® Model 8048, a Condensation Nuclei Counter (CNC) machine that delivers precise, real-time particle measurement.

Why QNFT is the preferred method:

  • Complies with WorkSafe and ISO standards

  • Compatible with P1, P2, half-face, and full-face respirators

  • Detects leakage with objective data

  • No subjective “taste” or “smell” bias like qualitative testing

  • Ideal for mass staff testing and documentation

Why Clinical Students Need an N95 Fit Test Before Placement — And How to Get It Done Fast

Meta Description: Need an N95 fit test for clinical placement? Book fast, mobile respirator testing in Victoria with N95 Fit Test. Ideal for students in nursing, medicine & allied health.

Don’t Miss Your Clinical Placement Because of a Mask Fit Test

You’re finally about to start your clinical placement — you’ve got your scrubs, your ID badge, and a clipboard full of enthusiasm. But there’s one small detail that can derail everything: no valid N95 fit test.

Every week, students are turned away from hospitals and clinics across Victoria because they don’t have a current, compliant respirator fit test. Universities and placement providers are tightening up on PPE requirements — and the clock is ticking.

If you’re a nursing, medical, or allied health student, getting your N95 fit test done early can save stress, time, and your placement.

What Is an N95 Fit Test — and Why Do Students Need It?

An N95 fit test ensures that your respirator forms a proper seal with your face — a critical requirement when working in environments with potential airborne hazards, especially in healthcare.

In Australia, Quantitative Fit Testing (QNFT) is the gold standard for accuracy and is now required by most hospitals and placement sites. Without it, your placement may be delayed or cancelled

Clinical Placement PPE Requirements:

  • You must provide proof of a current fit test (usually within the last 12 months)

  • Your test must be quantitative (not just a taste/smell test)

  • You must be fitted for the exact brand and model of respirator you’ll use

The Portacount CNC Test: Fast, Accurate, Compliant

At N95 Fit Test, we use the TSI Portacount® Model 8048, the leading device for quantitative fit testing in Victoria. This Condensation Nuclei Counter (CNC) technology compares particle concentrations inside and outside the mask while you perform a series of breathing and movement exercises.

Why students trust the Portacount respirator test:

  • Works on all P1, P2, half-face, and full-face respirators

  • Delivers instant, objective results

  • Fully compliant with Australian Standard AS/NZS 1715:2009
