Toi Mai Workforce Development Council has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

 

Date new versions published                                                               August 2023

 

Planned review date                                                                              December 2028

 

Summary

 

Feedback on the current standards was gathered via targeted consultation with providers and industry and an open consultation process via Toi Mai’s website during October 2022 to May 2023. It was identified that these unit standards continued to meet industry need and the outcomes and performance criteria were still fit for purpose.  Minor changes were made to update the guidance information and some range items. 

 

 Main changes

 

·      Guidance Information updated including legislation (Privacy Act); REPs Code of Ethical Practice statement; and references to Standard Exercise Schedules A and B removed as these are no longer used.

·      Unit Standard 30663 – Performance Criterion 3.2 was removed and some range items were updated following stakeholder feedback that these were at a level higher than Level 5.

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is 31 December 2025
