Feedback Sought: AusRoads National Heavy Vehicle Driver Competency Framework

15/9/2022

 
AUSROADS is looking for feedback on heavy vehicle licensing and is encouraging drivers, employers and trainers to have their say on proposed changes to heavy vehicle driver licensing in Australia. Four key areas of change are proposed:
  • Managing individual driver risk ensuring only drivers without serious driving offences are eligible to hold a heavy vehicle licence.
  • Strengthening skill and knowledge making competency requirements specific to each licence class, setting minimum course length and recognising the extra skill needed to drive the most complex vehicles.
  • Embedding behind-the-wheel experience requiring minimum behind-the-wheel time pre-licence and supervised driving sessions post-licence.
  • Introducing experience-based progression options enabling those drivers who can demonstrate driving and work experience to progress to higher licence classes more rapidly.
Visit the AUSROADS website to download the C-RIS, access fact sheets and videos (including the briefing webinar) summarising the proposals and to provide feedback. Feedback closes 28 October 2022. Submissions can be made in two ways; short response to policy questions, or formal longer questions).

For further information a briefing video has now been made available via 
NHVDCF Consultation RIS Online Briefing on Vimeo.

To ensure comments from WA Stakeholders is taken into account during the consultation process, participants are encouraged to send a copy of your feedback to the LDSC via  amanda@ldsc.asn.au.

More Western Australians to be trained in first aid at school

14/9/2022

 
Changes to expand first aid training for staff working in Western Australian public schools was announced today. The State Government's new approach to first aid in public schools, to be introduced in Term 1 next year, includes two significant changes that will improve current practices. From next year, staff registration and first aid training costs will be funded centrally by the Department of Education, rather than schools being required to fund first aid training for staff members using their allocated school budget. Schools will also have access to contracted first aid training providers that meet State Government procurement requirements, rather than having to source their own training provider.
These changes will deliver a simpler process for all public schools and ensure a suitable number of staff are trained in providing first aid. Resources have also been developed to support schools with the implementation of effective first aid practices. Consultation on the proposed changes to the curriculum will be undertaken by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority during Term 4, 2022.
