Equine Safety in Training Project: Reminder to Provide Feedback

Our Role Establishing Skills Insight JSC

Skills Impact held a Skills Service Organisation (SSO) role between 2016 and 2022. In 2023 we established one of ten Job and Skills Councils (JSCs), after a submission to move into the role was backed by over 200 letters of support from a broad range of industry stakeholders. This new JSC, Skills Insight, has a broader scope to deliver outcomes that support a responsive VET system and a skilled and resilient national workforce. The industry coverage of Skills Insight is similar to our past coverage as a Skills Service Organisation.

There is still some time to provide feedback on the first round of draft units of competency for the Equine Safety in Training Project. Consultation on these first drafts is open until COB Monday, 3 April.

This stage of the project is underway to review units of competency aimed at improving safety, quality and consistency in the delivery of equine training. The next stage will commence in April and will examine skill sets and qualification structures, and the opportunity to further refine units.

This project will impact the ACM Animal Care and Management; AHC Agriculture, Horticulture, and Conservation and Land Management; AMP Australian Meat Processing; and RGR Racing Training Packages.

The Technical Advisory Committee, Racing Industry Reference Committee (IRC) and Rural and Related IRC are currently seeking feedback on the first drafts of 156 units of competency, including three proposed new units.

Please feel free to register your interest to keep informed of project updates.

You are welcome to provide feedback on as many draft units as you would like. Please also feel free to share the drafts with others who may be interested in providing feedback.

Note that relevant qualifications and skills sets will be reviewed in the next round of consultation on this project, following the development of these units.
