The meat processing industry relies on core skills in meat safety, quality assurance, and leadership to produce high quality meat products. It is important that the qualifications and skills standards that support this work are kept up to date and relevant, so that industry has access to the expertise it needs.

Industry feedback collected on draft qualifications and units made available from 11 November 2021 until 31 January 2022 indicated further significant changes were required for the qualifications and some units. Updated versions of these qualifications and units are now available via the project page for your review and feedback.

We are seeking feedback from those with experience in the meat processing industry on whether these changes reflect the current skills standards and practices of industry, and whether job functions are accurately described.
