Unique skills are required for working with native Australian plants, with expertise needed for processes across the supply chain. It is important that these skills are captured in national skills standards, as the industry expands.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this project. Your efforts have resulted in the development of three skill sets and one unit, which capture the skills required to prepare Australian bush and native food products for sale, prepare to set up a food production business in the sector and to source and harvest bush and native food.

The skill sets and unit were approved by the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) on 1 June 2022 (read the communique), and are now being considered by the State and Territory Skills Ministers. They will then be published on the national training register.
