Case for Change
The Case for Change for this project was established as a result of initial research and consultation undertaken by the previous Industry Skills Council, SkillsDMC. The project was outlined in the Mining, Drilling and Civil Infrastructure (MDCI) Industry Reference Committee Four Year Work Plan and was submitted in a Case for Change – previously referred to as a Business Case – to the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) in December 2016.
In order to facilitate continuity for industry, Skills for Australia commenced industry consultation and progressed the project towards the Case for Endorsement phase of work.
The objective of this project is to ensure that Australia’s vocational education and training system is adequately preparing learners in first emergency response within the Resources and Infrastructure Industry and to ensure that appropriate workplace safety training regarding this task is being delivered.
