Instead, the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations [DEWR] will establish an independent Training Package Assurance function to ensure training products meet national standards.”
DEWR’s role in the assurance of training packages will be in place for when the new Industry Clusters are formed. It is expected DEWR’s ongoing role will be reviewed during 2023.
