This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to conduct integrated logistics support activities.

It includes the requirement to conduct a range of processes including capturing, recording, recovering and analysing data; maintaining associated workplace networks; and stakeholder requirements.

This unit was developed for integrated logistics support specialists working within materiel logistics but is applicable to individuals in broader logistics roles.

Typically these individuals work independently or as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policy and procedures.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment include:
