Automotive Tyre Servicing Technology

Project Overview

Key project outcomes

On Wednesday 24 June 2026, Skills Ministers endorsed updates to the AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package.

The endorsed changes were published on the National Training Register on Thursday 9 July 2026.

For further details, refer to the ASQA RTO Standards How to Transition webpage Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA).

AUR Automotive Retail, Service and Repair Training Package

  • 16 qualifications updated
  • 18 units of competency updated
  • 2 new units of competency developed

Most updated units are assessed as equivalent to their predecessors. AURHTJ007 Remove, inspect, repair and refit industrial tyres and tubes (now AURHTJ107) is assessed as not equivalent, reflecting substantive changes to safety content.

What changed and why

Tyre servicing training products were updated to reflect current Australian safety standards for handling wheels, tyres and rims across a range of vehicle and equipment types. The review found that existing units did not adequately address the hazards and risks of this work, and that specialisations completed within the Certificate II were not clearly identified on credentials. Two new units were also developed to cover agricultural equipment applications not previously included in the Training Package.

Stakeholder engagement

The review was informed by national consultation across the automotive sector, including:

  • employers and industry representatives
  • Registered Training Organisations (RTOs)
  • industry peak bodies and unions
  • regulators and licensing bodies
  • Commonwealth, state and territory government stakeholders.

All feedback was recorded in a Consultation Log, which documents stakeholder comments, key themes, and how each issue was addressed.

AUSMASA thanks the many stakeholders who contributed their expertise to this project.

Transition arrangements

When a training product is superseded, RTOs must transition from the previous version to the current version within specified timeframes. The allowable transition period depends on the type of training product and the nature of the change.

For guidance on transition obligations, refer to the ASQA Standards for RTOs: How to transition webpage.

Companion Volume Implementation Guide

An updated Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG) is available to support RTOs and industry in implementing these changes. It includes:

  • guidance on changes to qualifications and units
  • information on pathways and prerequisites
  • regulatory and licensing considerations
  • workplace health and safety context.

Access the AUR CVIG on the National Training Register: AUR Release 9 Companion Volume July 2026

Additional information to support the delivery of the Certificate II in Automotive Tyre Servicing Technology has also been published on the National Training Register: AUR21926_CVIG Supporting_Information
