They use discretion and judgement to adapt and transfer their skills and knowledge to different job needs and take responsibility for their own work within organisational parameters.

In some states and territories there may be licensing requirements that link to this qualification, and other licensing requirements where the individual is required to work onsite. Depending on the jurisdiction, licensing or regulatory requirements may also apply to the use of some units in this qualification.
