Crops, Pasture and Seed Project

The broadacre cropping and seed production sectors have been adopting new technology and methods to keep up with increasing global demand for food and fibre, and the need to produce drought resistant, higher yielding, and more nutritious crops.

As part of this project, qualifications and skills standards for the crops, pastures and seed sectors have been updated to reflect the digital and technical skills required.

Your input is needed to validate the drafts, helping to support the biosecurity and sustainability of the industry.

Dairy & Milk Harvesting Project

Australia’s milk and dairy harvesting industry requires expanding skills with the introduction of new robotic technology and automatic milking systems.

The national qualification and skills standards for this work are being updated to reflect the vast array of technologies and skills used, including traditional methods.

To help support future generations of learners in this sector, industry input it needed to validate final draft qualification, skill set and units.

Skills for Land Rehabilitation (Mined Land) Project

While similar skills are used to conserve and manage Australian’s various ecosystems, some unique expertise is needed when rehabilitating land after it has been used for mining.

With over 350 operating mines and mineral deposits across Australia, it is vital that the skills to restore mined land to a safe, stable environment are supported and accessible.

A qualification and skill sets have been developed to address the need to define the skills required for this work.

If you have experience in rehabilitation of mined land, your input is needed to check the drafts are appropriate.
