Vale Reginald K Whiteley
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Mr Reg Whiteley. He leaves his wife Moira, after 61 years of marriage, and their sons and
families (Greg & Michelle, Andrew & Hanneke, Bruce and Rita) and the grandchildren (Mitchell, Jemima, Natasha, Niels, Jean).
Reg had a long and distinguished career, as a business founder, an innovator and an initiator of so many enduring organisations. Reg originally graduated
as an industrial chemist from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology and went on to work in a variety of positions, until moving to Sydney in
1955. He married Moira in 1957. After reaching managerial seniority he left a major Australian firm to join a small chemical blending business in 1971.
After a short time as a consultant, Reg and Moira purchased the Australian General Disinfectant Company and it was renamed “Whiteley Chemicals” in
1976.
Australia’s largest manufacturer of sterilants, disinfectants and healthcare cleaning technologies Whiteley Corporation is celebrating its 85th year
of operation this month. Over the years Whiteley Corporation has been recognised for its world class products, patents and has received multiple
awards.
Infection Control in Aged Care is becoming more and more important as demand for Aged Care services continues to increase worldwide. With the population
now living longer there is an increasing number of elderly who need specialist attention in nursing homes, high-care facilities and home care.
Common areas of concern within Aged Care facilities include patient bathing, incontinence and overall the facilities susceptibility to bacteria
and virus outbreaks. 
Healthcare, food production and manufacturing industry to benefit Novel solutions for biofilm infections are the focus of a collaborative research agreement between
the University of Sydney, Whiteley Corporation and the Innovative Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre.
