3 Overview Background to Companion Volumes In 2010, the National Quality Council accepted recommendations in the VET Training Products for the 21 st Century report. Two of those recommendations were specifically to do with the design of training packages: 1. Simplify and streamline the content of Training Packages by separating the performance standards in units of competence from guidance and supporting information for RTOs and 2. Restructure and streamline training package content by: Simplifying the endorsed components Expanding the non-endorsed components Eliminating unnecessary information and consolidating repetitive material. In November 2012, the National Skills Standards Council (NSSC) published new Standards for Training Packages which set out new requirements in full. You can view a copy of the new Standards for Training Packages on the NSSC website Endorsed and Non-Endorsed Components There are four endorsed components of Training Packages, all of which can be found on the national register training.gov.au In addition, the non-endorsed components have been expanded to include Companion Volumes, including the following: The Companion Volume Implementation Guide is a mandatory requirement and is available at It contains overview information about the entire Training Package, including a list of all units, skills sets and qualifications in the training package. It also contains key implementation information for use by RTOs. Optional guides and resources to assist implementation in specific industry sectors. For the new HLT First Aid units, this includes a First Aid Companion Volume containing advice regarding the intent and implementation of these new units Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council Page 1 of 45

6 Overview of Changes The new HLTAID First Aid competency standards were developed to provide a set of robust, industry supported standards for people employed as first aiders and those with a duty of care to provide first aid to others. This includes workers with duty of care for vulnerable clients, child care educators, teachers, emergency services personnel, workers in hazardous environments and nominated workplace first aiders. In these instances, the statement of attainment provides evidence to the employer and the community that the worker has the skills and knowledge to be able to provide a first aid response and sustain life in the event of an emergency. Why has CS&HISC changed the competencies? CS&HISC was required to update the units in line with the new Standards for Training Packages. The new standards focus on strengthening assessment requirements and require specific information relating to the volume and frequency of evidence required for the assessment decision. In addition, feedback submissions from peak associations, employers and training providers indicated a need to improve the quality and consistency of first aid training, particularly for workers who have responsibility and duty of care for clients and coworkers. Assessment of these units must: meet the requirements of the training package be conducted in accordance with the principles of assessment and rules of evidence meet workplace and regulatory requirements be systematically validated. RTOs must determine and develop the learning and assessment strategies appropriate to their course. RTOs must also ensure that assessment meets the requirements of NVR/AQTF standards. Compliance issues should be discussed directly with the relevant VET Regulator (ASQA/VRQA/WATAC). CS&HISC has produced a range of video resources to assist RTOs use the new Units and Assessment Requirements. They are available on our YouTube channel here: Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council Page 4 of 45

7 New Competencies The new HLTAID suite of first aid competencies were released on training.gov.au on 1 July The new units are listed below. Unit Code HLTAID001 HLTAID002 HLTAID003 HLTAID004 HLTAID005 HLTAID006 HLTAID007 HLTAID008 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation Provide basic emergency life support Provide first aid Unit Title Provide an emergency first aid response in an education and care setting Provide first aid in remote situations Provide advanced first aid Provide advanced resuscitation Manage first aid services and resources HLTSS00027 Occupational First Aid Skill Set Superseded Competencies The following units were superseded by the new units on 1 July Unit Code Unit Title HLTCPR211 Perform CPR A HLTFA211A Provide basic emergency life support HLTFA311A Apply first aid HLTFA302C Provide first aid in remote situation HLTFA412A Apply advanced first aid HLTFA404C Apply advanced resuscitation techniques HLTFA403C Manage first aid in the workplace Further information and mapping resources are available on page 14 of this guide.

8 Transition The new first aid units are used in the new Children s & Youth Services (CHC Community Services Training Package) and the new Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Worker (HLT Health Training Package) qualifications. As the rest of the qualifications in the CHC08 Community Services and HLT07 Health Training Package are reviewed, they will be progressively updated to contain the new first aid units. This is also the case for providers delivering vocational qualifications from other industry sectors. RTOs issuing qualifications for vocational courses must ensure they meet the packaging rules of the qualification they are delivering. In addition, they must ensure the first aid unit being delivered and assessed is the one listed in the qualification, whether in the core or electives. CS&HISC recommends consulting with your First Aid training provider for advice on any mapping or documentation you will need to ensure compliance to the standards. If a student has completed a first aid course through a third party provider and the statement of attainment they have received does not match the unit required to meet the packaging rules of the qualification they are undertaking, the RTO issuing the vocational qualification must: 1. undertake a mapping exercise to confirm elements, performance criteria, required skills and required knowledge have been addressed and identify any gaps 2. conduct gap training as necessary 3. issue the required statement of attainment Note: CS&HISC has developed a number of mapping tools to assist RTOs in this process. These are provided in this Guide on page 14. Normal transition and teach out periods apply. If you have questions regarding transition and teach out arrangements, you must contact your relevant VET Regulator (ASQA, WATAC or VRQA). Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council Page 6 of 45

9 Specific advice for ASQA Providers The following advice was provided by ASQA in to all RTOs with first aid on scope on as of 27 November ASQA providers with one or more of the above units explicitly listed on their scope of registration must apply to ASQA by 1 July 2014 to add the replacement unit/s to their scope if they intend to deliver the replacement units. Providers are reminded that they must comply with the General direction transition and teach-out. ASQA has also produced a Fact Sheet: Registering for revised training packages to assist RTOs with the process (Note: Both documents can be accessed from the ASQA website It is the responsibility of each provider to monitor training packages relevant to its scope of registration and to identify when a qualification on scope has been revised and a new version published. The national register, training.gov.au, has the capacity to notify users of changes to a training package through a subscription service. You can register to receive notifications by clicking on Notify me of changes in the top right hand corner of the screen displaying information about the training package you are interested in. If you have further queries please contact the ASQA Info line (Ph ) or enquiries@asqa.gov.au. CS&HISC recommends that all RTOs within ASQA's jurisdiction who are delivering competencies or qualifications from the Community Services or Health Training Packages familiarise themselves with their obligations and requirements under the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act (2011), Standards for NVR Registered Training Organisations (2012) and the VET Quality Framework Available: Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council Page 7 of 45

10 Assessment Although the content of the new first aid competencies may have been updated, assessment practice has not changed. Assessment of these units must be in line with the Rules of Evidence and Principles of Assessment. Rules of Evidence Validity Sufficiency Authenticity The Rules of Evidence still require that evidence is: Valid: the evidence being assessed clearly relates to the requirements of the unit of competence Sufficient: the evidence meets all of the requirements of the unit, is gathered over a period of time, meets all of the dimensions of competency and is relevant to different work contexts Current: the evidence is current Authentic: the evidence is the candidate s own work. Currency In addition, assessors must ensure that all assessment activity undertaken is: Principles of Assessment Validity Reliability Flexibility Fairness Valid: the methods of assessment relate to the elements, performance criteria and assessment requirements of the unit Reliable: the assessment outcomes would consistently provide similar outcomes for candidates at different times and in different places Flexible: the assessor ensures that the candidate understands the assessment process and can negotiate the timing of the assessment, the context of the assessment Fair: candidates are not disadvantaged and are given opportunities to ensure that they can perform to the standards outlined in the workplace and the units of competency being assessed (see also reasonable adjustments below). Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council Page 8 of 45

11 Reasonable Adjustment Reasonable adjustment refers to measures or actions taken to provide a student with the same educational opportunities as everyone else. To be reasonable, adjustments must be appropriate for that person, must not create undue hardship for an RTO and must be allowable within rules defined by the training package. While adjustments can be made to assessment procedures, the integrity of the unit of competency and/or qualification must be upheld. Students still need to achieve the standards that employers and training providers expect. A student with a disability can have training and assessment that is fair depending on the RTO s attitude, preparation and application of adjustments. This may include: allowing additional time or the use of a computer in a written test to complete responses for a candidate who is physically impaired, and that impairment contributes to the time to compete the test asking a candidate to record responses on a video or audio tape where they have difficult writing using an Auslan interpreter during assessment tasks varying an assessment task to produce the same outcomes, but via different methods. It is important to note that the HLTAID competency standards do require a level of physical ability to meet the evidence requirements for assessment. These standards relate to the level of performance required to provide resuscitation and respond to an emergency situation where there may be risk to life. Due to the potential risk to health and safety where a nominated first aider, or worker with duty of care, does not have the ability to perform resuscitation and/or first aid to the performance standard it is not appropriate to issue a statement of attainment to students who are physically unable to meet the assessment requirements. In cases where a student has attended a resuscitation or first aid course but is unable to meet the full requirements of the competency, an RTO may wish to provide that student with a certificate of attendance, or similar, as an indication of their participation in the course. Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council Page 9 of 45

12 Frequently Asked Questions CPR and First Aid The Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) Guidelines recommend rotating rescuers every two minutes. Why does the competency require candidates to demonstrate CPR for four minutes (or eight minutes)? The ARC guidelines encourage rescuers to change every two minutes - if possible. The four minutes uninterrupted" and "eight minutes uninterrupted" enables a trainer to assess that the candidate has appropriate strength and stamina to provide effective CPR in an emergency. It relates to the volume and frequency of evidence required by assessors to make the assessment decision i.e. sufficiency. "Four minutes uninterrupted" should not be interpreted as a new ARC guideline. As vocational competencies, the first aid competencies provide assurance to employers that employees with duty of care to provide first aid in the workplace have the appropriate skills and knowledge to carry out this duty, particularly in instances where the worker might not be able to be relieved within two minutes. What is meant by uninterrupted CPR? The intent of four minutes uninterrupted" and "eight minutes uninterrupted" is for each candidate to demonstrate a sustained duration of compressions and rescue breathing. In addition, the candidate needs to demonstrate the specific items listed below the dot point such as checking for response, correct hand placement and handover to another rescuer. The intent of this requirement is that the candidate is assessed performing the normal preresuscitation checks, performing CPR, and then handing over to another rescuer. How your RTO decides to structure your assessment tasks to collect this evidence and how much evidence is deemed sufficient is dependent on your learning and assessment strategy, provided it meets the competency standard and the Rules of Evidence. CS&HISC is unable to validate individual assessment scenarios or assessment strategies. We recommend consulting with industry to ensure your learning and assessment strategies meet the needs of your student cohort. Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council Page 10 of 45

13 What is meant by basic wound care? The term basic refers to the level of care/response provided by the first aider, not the level of the wound. These wounds may be minor or major. What does the statement skills must be demonstrated working individually mean? Each individual must provide evidence of their own skills and knowledge to meet the requirements of the unit. In other words, a student cannot be deemed competent if they have simply observed another student perform a task, or participated as the casualty in a roleplay scenario. What does the requirement responded to simulated emergency scenarios contextualised to the candidate s workplace/community setting mean? In addition to providing evidence of the ability to perform first aid procedures listed in the performance evidence, a candidate needs to be assessed responding to a [simulated] emergency situation, in order to provide evidence of their ability to recognise an emergency situation, assess the casualty and select and apply the appropriate response. How your RTO decides to structure your assessment tasks to collect this evidence and whether the decision is made to cluster this assessment with other activities is dependent on your learning and assessment strategy, provided it meets the competency standard and the Rules of Evidence. CS&HISC is unable to validate individual assessment scenarios or assessment strategies. Consider consulting with the candidate s employer to develop simulations and role-plays that reflect the type of emergency situations common to their workplace. Assessor Requirements What is required to train and assess the HLTAID suite of units? Why are there additional requirements? All assessors of the HLTAID suite of units are required satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors. Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council Page 11 of 45

14 In addition, all assessors of the HLTAID suite of units (except HLTAID008 Manage first aid services and resources) are required to meet additional requirements of either: a current advanced first aid certificate OR at least three years experience as a health professional, nurse, OR emergency services provider. The intent of this requirement is to ensure that trainers and assessors of these units have the adequate skills, knowledge and/or experience responding to life threatening and emergency situations. What is meant by current advanced first aid certificate? How do I know that my first aid certificate is current? The Safe Work Australia First Aid Model Code of Practice requires employers to ensure that their nominated first aiders s attend training on a regular basis to remain current. The Code of Practice recommends that refresher training in CPR should be undertaken annually and first aid qualifications should be renewed every three years to maintain currency. The unit HLTFA412A Apply advanced first aid would be considered current until the expiration of the transition and teach out period. What is an emergency services provider? An emergency services provider refers to those organisations that maintain public safety and health by responding and assisting in emergency situations. It would include the police, ambulance, fire, rescue and state emergency services although other organisations might also be covered. In the context of the HLTAID suite of units, appropriate experience working as an emergency services provider would include those who have had a responsibility to monitor and respond to life threatening and emergency situations as part of their role, either in a paid or volunteer capacity. Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council Page 12 of 45

15 What is a health professional? Health professionals are those whose primary employment role is to diagnose and treat physical and mental illnesses and conditions or recommend, administer, dispense and develop medications and treatment to promote or restore good health. In the context of the HLTAID suite of units, appropriate experience as a health professional would include those have been required to identify and respond to health issues as part of their every day job e.g. a general practitioner, a primary medical care provider, a field medic or a health worker. Mapping, Transition and Teach Out If a worker has achieved HLTAID004 in a qualification and moves to another sector and trains in another qualification, can this be credited against HLTAID003? While HLTAID003 and HLTAID004 are two separate units, there are areas of similarity. An RTO would need to conduct a mapping of the two units to identify any areas of gap, and address the gap through a formal training or RPL process. In addition, the RTO would need to ensure that any industry specific requirements regarding refresher training and currency are met. Generally speaking, if a worker has met the competency requirements for HLTAID004 they should meet the competency requirements for HLTAID003. However, an RTO will still need to formally document this process in order to meet compliance requirements under NVR/AQTF. Please see our mapping guides on page 14 for more information. What is the transition and teach out for these units? RTOs under the jurisdiction of ASQA who have the first aid units explicitly listed on scope must comply with the General direction transition and teach-out in its entirety to ensure all requirements are met. ASQA has also produced a Fact Sheet: Registering for revised training packages to assist RTOs with the process. You can access these documents on the ASQA website: RTOs under the jurisdiction of the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) or West Australian Training Accreditation Council (WATAC) need to contact their regulator directly.
