The AISC has asked the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker Industry Reference Committee (IRC) to reconsider the Diploma of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Practice using the updated and approved Units of Competency. Therefore, SkillsIQ, under the direction of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker IRC, are consulting on an update of two practice qualifications the Certificate IV of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Practice and the Diploma of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Practice.
Please note that the purpose of this validation period is restricted solely to gaining stakeholder feedback on the Certificate IV of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Practice and the Diploma of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Practice.
Draft 1 consultation was conducted from the 16th of May to the 10th of June. Draft 2 validation of the Units of Competency and associated Assessment Requirements is open for public validation on the SkillsIQ Feedback Forum from Monday, 04 July 2022 to Friday, 15 July 2022. Due to strict submission timeframes for this project, this deadline is unable to be extended.
Throughout the validation period SkillsIQ will also be undertaking a number of activities to engage industry stakeholders and VET professionals in order to gather feedback. These will include a series of national information webinars. To attend a webinar, please select the most convenient time and date and register your details by clicking on the link below.
