Summary

 

This revision and rollover is part of a multi-year plan to get all Careerforce unit standards up to date with their planned review dates.

 

The units listed above were selected because:

·      there have been no major changes within the sectors the standards apply to,

·      no concerns have been raised regarding these standards through national external moderation,

·      there has been no feedback from assessors or stakeholders that there have been any issues with these unit standards.

 

In preparation for submitting this application, all organisations with Consent to Assess against any of the units were advised of this intention.  The units were posted on the Careerforce website with stakeholders having the ability to respond if they thought the any of the designated unit standards should not be included in the Rollover.

 

Main changes

 

·         Legislation, references and hyperlinks were updated.

·         Unit standards were all updated to use the latest template and terminology.

·         The planned review date was extended to 2021.

·         Two standards were reclassified to move them from an expiring classification to its replacement, in line with the plan that was approved when subfield Health, Disability, and Aged Support was established.
