Project status
Step 1 has commenced and is due for completion in March 2026.
All Training Package Organising Framework (TPOF) projects we undertake follow the national process for developing, assuring and endorsing training package products.
The seven TPOF steps guide each stage of development from planning and consultation to assurance and endorsement. They ensure outcomes meet the needs of industry, employers and learners.
See below for an outline of the TPOF steps. The timeline for each step in this project appears on the overview page.
Key steps
Step 1
- Announce the start of training product development.
- Create a consultation strategy to engage relevant stakeholders.
- Form a Technical Committee (TC) that includes educational experts, state and territory representatives, unions, industry and RTOs.
- Share the consultation strategy and committee details with relevant bodies.
- Consult nationally to develop training products that meet Training Package Organising Framework (TPOF) requirements.
Step 2
- Release draft training products for public and government consultation.
- Allow a minimum four-week consultation period for stakeholders to review and provide feedback.
- Promote opportunities for industry, government bodies and other relevant stakeholders to provide feedback during consultation.
- Maintain and publish a consultation log on our website for transparency.
Step 3
- Review all feedback and determine whether revisions are required.
- Conduct additional consultations to reach broad agreement.
- Record all stakeholder feedback and responses in the submission to the Assurance Body.
Step 4
- Seek feedback from Senior Responsible Officers (SROs) across Commonwealth, state and territory governments (minimum 2 weeks).
- Record all feedback, responses and resolutions in the consultation log.
Steps 5–7
- Prepare the final submission and submit to the Assurance Body.
- The Assurance Body checks compliance with Training Package Quality Principles (TPOF).
- Submit the approved training product to the Skills Ministers for endorsement.
- Once endorsed, publish:
- The training product on the National Register of VET.
- The final submission on the AUSMASA website to ensure transparency and accessibility.
Implementation & Promotion
- Monitor uptake of training products nationally.
- Promote the use of training products.
