Health Services - Vocational Training Order for the recognised traineeship vocation of Health Services - Supervision The Commissioner for Vocational Training (Commissioner), in consultation with the NSW Community Services and Health Industry Training Advisory Body (ITAB), has varied the existing Vocational Training Order (VTO) for the recognised traineeship vocation of Health Services. The variations are:
The VTO specifies a number of matters including the term of training, probationary period, competency outcomes and course of study to be undertaken. A copy of the VTO supporting the recognised traineeship vocation of Health Services – Supervision is at Attachment A. HLT40407 Certificate IV in Health Supervision This qualification covers workers in the role of a supervisor or senior workplace trainer in a functional or operational unit/service in a healthcare setting providing health support services, health technical services, health care services, health professional support services and health administration services. When HLT02 was reviewed HLT42202 and HLT40402 were combined. This addressed gaps in the individual qualifications and enhanced coverage of Client Safety. The result was a single qualification - HLT40407 Certificate IV in Health Supervision. Qualification For the purpose of the VTO in NSW, successful trainees will be able to gain HLT40407 Certificate IV in Health Supervision. The units of competency, packaging and structure requirements for HLT40407 Certificate IV in Health Supervision are at Attachment B. Industrial arrangements Applications under the Apprenticeship and Traineeship Act 2001 to establish any apprenticeship or traineeship will not be approved unless the Commissioner is satisfied that appropriate industrial arrangements are in place. Industrial arrangements under which Health Services – Supervision trainees can be employed are listed at Attachment C. Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETS) The ITAB has advised that HLT40407 Certificate IV in Health Supervision is not a suitable school based traineeship pathway. For all the school based, part-time traineeships currently being delivered in NSW see http://www.sbatinnsw.info/traineeships.php?t=employer Learning resources and assessment materials Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) are advised to visit NavigatingNSW for essential information about delivering training in NSW for this area of the health industry. Access to the website is via www.csh-itab.com.au The ITAB will assist RTOs in identifying training support needs. The development of standardized logbooks, endorsed by the various industry stakeholders, is essential to encourage consistency of assessment and equity in training for the trainee. Licensing There are currently no licensing requirements within the Health Services industry in New South Wales. However, the following are requirements for training and working in the public health industry sector. Many private employers also implement these policy directives in NSW. Immunisation: Health workers and learners undertaking work placement in NSW Health facilities must comply with the assessment, screening and vaccination requirements of Policy Directive PD 2007_006. Criminal Record Check and Vulnerable Person: Health workers and learners undertaking work placement in NSW Health facilities must comply with Employment Screening Using Criminal Record Checks Policy Directive PD2005_552 Availability of Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) The National Training Information Service website http://www.ntis.gov.au identifies RTOs in NSW registered to deliver qualifications from the HLT07 Health Industry Training Package.
