There is still time to provide feedback on the skills required by Australian farmers and irrigators to effectively operate in Australia’s various water markets.

Industry and subject matter experts have been consulted to help draft three units of competency that capture the unique skills required to effectively work within the complexities of Australia’s water market.

Drafts of these documents are being made available for your feedback and comments until 4 February 2022. Your input is stongly encouraged.

These draft units incorporate the skills farmers and those with water entitlements require to correctly engage with water trading practices, including the purchase and selling of water, navigating carry over water or continuous accounting options and how to procure, receive and monitor water.
