Summary

 

Learning State Limited has completed a review and revision of the unit standards in the Public Sector Management domain.  This was completed in consultation with key public sector organisations, assessors and learners.

 

The purpose of the review and revision was to ensure the unit standards were relevant, logical, fit for purpose and continued to reflect the requirements of the sector.  At the beginning of 2011, the gazetted coverage for Learning State Limited was extended to include local government.  Therefore, the unit standards needed to be updated to reflect the public sector context which includes both central and local governments and authorities.

 

The review found that 20 of the unit standards had very little or no usage over the last five years and were no longer fit for purpose.  Based on this information and feedback from the sector, it was decided to designate these unit standards as expiring.

 

The remaining unit standards were revised to ensure that legislation was still current and relevant.  The explanatory notes were standardised for consistency and the contact details for Learning State Limited were updated.

 

Main changes

 

·      Standards 11069, 11071, 11073, 11074, 11076-11078, 15617, 15618, 16417-16426, and 16428 were designated expiring as they are no longer relevant and not fit for purpose.

·      Explanatory notes have been standardised for consistency.

·      Relevant legislation has been updated for standards 11070, 11075, and 25053-25059.

·      Titles of standards for 11075 and 25053-25059 were changed from a State sector context to a public sector context to include a wider coverage of the industry.

·      Last dates of assessment for superseded versions of standards were specified.  This date is 31 December 2013.

·      Planned review date for standards 11070 and 11075 was changed to 31 December 2013.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2013
