Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures possess skills and knowledge for land and water management activities that have been developed over thousands of years. Some of these skills are described in nationally endorsed qualifications, skill sets and units that are used to equip learners for job roles. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are leading and guiding the review of national qualifications and skills standards, so that they reflect current skill needs and terminology.
Feedback collected on draft qualifications, skill sets and units has been used to inform further updates to the drafts, which are now available for validation and comment.
Led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander project partners, language within the qualifications, skill sets and units has been updated to reflect preferred terminology and promote cultural safety. Further updates have been made to reflect the latest technology and equipment, and to promote flexible deliver and career pathways.
