Toitū te Waiora Community, Health, Education and Social Services Workforce Development Council (WDC) has completed the rollover and revision of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published September 2023
Planned review date December 2025
Summary
The unit standards listed above were originally developed by The Skills Organisation. With the Government’s Reform of Vocational Education, coverage was transferred to Toitū te Waiora WDC.
These unit standards required revision to remove reference to the New Zealand Resuscitation Council (NZRC) handbooks as they are no longer available, and to update the New Zealand Resuscitation Council website address.
The request to make changes to the suite of Emergency Care – First Aid Response units standards was confirmed in consultation with New Zealand Resuscitation Council.
The planned review date was extended to 31 December 2025.

· The reference to the New Zealand Resuscitation Council handbooks in Guidance Information was removed from all standards.
· The New Zealand Resuscitation Council website was updated.
· The standard setting body was updated from The Skills Organisation to Toitū te Waiora Community, Health, Education and Social Services Workforce Development Council.
· Planned review date is extended from 31 December 2023 to 31 December 2025.
