The Local Government Industry Training Organisation has completed the review of the qualification above.

 

Date new version published                        October 2006

 

The next qualification review is planned to take place during 2011.

 

Summary of review and consultation process

 

Feedback from the industry indicated that two standards in the qualification were creating barriers to people achieving the qualification and that another of the standards was at too low a level to be of use.  Feedback also indicated that some standards relating to dealing with other cultures needed to be added.

The qualification has been restructured into Compulsory, Elective A and Elective B sections, and the content has been updated to meet the needs of the sector.
