Description
This qualification reflects the role of individuals involved in leadership or senior roles in the public sector. There may be supervisory responsibilities or delivery of outcomes without supervisory responsibilities. The qualification is targeted at those who enter the public sector with another qualification as well as those progressing within the sector.
The qualification, without specialisation, is suited to those working in environments such as small or regionally based organisations, and where responsibilities are diverse in nature, rather than within a narrow specialisation.
The specialisation streams of workplace inspection, investigations and fraud control, reflect the skills required to work in more specialist public sector roles.
The skills in this qualification must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian standards and industry codes of practice.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.
