As a result, the Department of Education and Training is completing a project including a full review and update of the industry’s qualifications and units.
REINSW’s involvement in the review
A technical advisory group (TAG), chaired by Danielle Andrews, REINSW Education and Training Manager, has been established by the IRC to oversee the project and provide input. The TAG includes representatives from employers, employees, industry, RTOs and regulators.
The TAG has so far undertaken:
- A full redevelopment of the Certificate IV as a licensing qualification
- A redevelopment of the Diploma to provide a professional development pathway and to house higher skill endorsement
- Development of Certificate III as entry into the industry at an administration level.
Industry consultation has included meetings with key regulators, presentations at industry briefings organised by the REI’s around the country, and direct consultation with key stakeholders.

Feedback from the consultation will be incorporated into a second draft which will be made available for review prior to the final submission to the IRC for approval.
A final case for endorsement will be submitted to the Department of Education and Training in May 2018 for endorsement by the COAG skills committee.
