An update of the following seven current qualifications and associated Units of Competency in the HLT Health Training Package has been approved, as follows:
The main components of this project are as follows: Workforce issues, including occupational violence, mental health & wellbeing, and resilience: Packaging rules for the qualifications have been revised to include Units of Competency which address communicating with people with challenging behaviours and managing personal stressors in the work environment. The Unit HLTAMB012 Communicate in complex situations to support health care has been updated to increase the focus more on communication. The Unit is focused on working with people with challenging behaviours rather than specifically those with mental health issues and, furthermore, is no longer restricted to an emergency setting. The revised Unit is now appropriate and fitting for multiple qualifications covered in this update. Duplication: Units HLTAMB001 Follow procedures for routine safe removal of patient and HLTAMB002 Implement safe access and egress in an emergency have been combined, as they have significant duplication and cover skills which are needed by all workers. This combined Unit is now titled HLTOUT001 Implement safe access and egress. HLTAMB011 Manage a routine non-emergency scene and HLTAMB013 Contribute to managing the scene of an emergency have also been combined as, again, they have significant duplication and cover skills which are needed by all workers. This combined unit is now titled HLTOUT008 Manage a scene. Relevance: HLTAMB010 Manage and coordinate resources for emergency operation has been reworked to tailor the content to be specifically appropriate to major incidents involving multiple casualties where workers may be on their own for a period of time. This update has now moved the content away from specifically office-based scenarios and incorporates management of the scene, as well as clinical components. This updated unit is now titled HLTOUT009 Manage the scene of a major incident. Regulation and registration: Since registration for Paramedics was legislated, all Paramedics have been required to obtain a Higher Education bachelor’s degree qualification. The Units subject to the current update comprise the only non-degree national qualifications for other support workers in the pre-hospital and out-of-hospital sectors. The IRC has agreed that these qualifications continue to have relevance to first responders and support staff, particularly those in remote or offshore locations. The HLT51015 Diploma of Paramedical Science title and application have therefore been updated for consistency within the suite of qualifications and will be provisionally titled the Diploma of Emergency Health Care, given the recent establishment of mandatory registration for Paramedics.

"Performance evidence regarding managing multiple competing priorities is not in the elements/performance criteria. Recommendation is there should be a Performance Criteria around the decision making and managing multiple competing priorities if this is to be assessed. "

"Performance Criteria 2.6 and 4.4 both refer to using hazard reduction/controlling resources. Recommendation is to remove 2.6 as it is more relevant to Element 4 Control hazards. "
"Performance Criteria 2.7 lacks a measure for how this is to be assessed, leaving it open to interpretation. What is the assessor looking for to ensure that the learner has, in fact, prepared for a major incident? Is the intention that this criteria relates to evidence of the Graduate maintaining situational awareness? Recommendation is this criteria needs improvement."
"Knowledge Evidence includes the Disability Discrimination Act. This reference seems out of place and is not mentioned in the other units, including HLTOUT007. Should this be included here? This Act is covered in all qualifications via the core unit CHCDIV001."
