DEF53415 Diploma of Institutional and Operational Chaplaincy

Modification History

Release 2. Modifications have been made to the Qualification Description and the Elective Unit imported codes.
Release 1. This qualification was released in DEF Defence Training Package release 1.0 and meets the Standards for Training Packages.

Qualification Description

This qualification has been designed to provide a package of competencies reflecting the responsibilities of a chaplain. The role of the chaplain is principally to do with religious ministry; however, in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) that ministry extends well beyond the community model of a minister of religion. Chaplains remain active members of their denominational church organisation and they cannot continue to practice without the endorsement of their church, yet they are also commissioned members of the Australian Defence Force. Their role is governed by two disparate yet culturally sympathetic entities, a military chaplain must provide spiritual ministry to all members of Defence, regardless of faith or denomination. This qualification was developed within Defence but could be used by other organisations. This Diploma is not designed as an entry level qualification but to benchmark additional ADF Chaplain skills in the broader aspects of their role beyond those of an ordained minister, including on deployments, exercises and to the wider ADF community. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.

DEFMIL028 Navigate in remote and unmodified landscapes

Modification History

Release	Comments
1	This unit was released in DEF Defence Training Package release 1.0 and meets the Standards for Training Packages. This unit supersedes and is equivalent to DEFCA014 Navigate in remote and unmodified landscapes. Unit code updated Content and formatting updated to comply with the new standards All PC transitioned from passive to active voice

Application

This unit describes the skills required to navigate in remote and unmodified landscapes. In the context of this unit an unmodified landscape is one with few modifications to the natural surface or the natural environment so that track alignment is indistinct and signage is generally not provided. The area may include steep sections of unmodified surfaces and other difficult terrain and man-made hazards. In a military context the navigation can be conducted on foot (for example; infantry) or by vehicle (for example; armour). This unit of competency requires the individual to navigate by both day and night to a destination, within standard tolerances of accuracy, without the use of electronic navigation aids such as GPS.

This unit was developed for military personnel required to operate in remote and unmodified landscapes usually in a deployed operational environment, but is applicable to any individual who is required to navigate in remote and unmodified landscapes.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would work independently and as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision. They would use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs while performing specific tasks in a broad range of unpredictable contexts.

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

DEFMIL139 Supervise a section during offensive operations

Modification History

Release	Comments
1	This unit was released in DEF Defence Training Package release 1.0 and meets the Standards for Training Packages. This unit supersedes and is equivalent to DEFCM134 Supervise a section during offensive operations. Unit code updated Content and formatting updated to comply with the new standards All PC transitioned from passive to active voice PC 1.6, 2.2, 2.6 and 2.7 removed PC 3.5 reworded

Application

This unit describes the skills required to command, lead and manage groups of up to twelve personnel during offensive operations. Offensive operations are characterised by extreme environmental conditions with high levels of risk of serious injury or death from hostile action. Supervision during offensive operations requires supervisors to be incisive in a fluid and demanding environment, to act independently, and to lead by example.

This unit was developed for combat arms personnel involved in the conduct of offensive operations in a deployed operational environment, but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would typically work as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, but also must be prepared to act independently. They use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. They would perform routine tasks in a broad range of unpredictable contexts.

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

Assessment Requirements for DEFTRP001 Operate a vehicle in an environment of threat

Modification History

Release	Comments
1	These Assessment Requirements were released in DEF Defence Training Package release 1.0 and meet the Standards for Training Packages. Assessment Requirements created drawing upon specified assessment information from superseded unit

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least one occasion.

preparing a vehicle for operational driving

driving a vehicle under operational conditions

following instructions/directives and verbally reporting information

selecting halt and hide positions that make best use of the natural terrain and vegetation, and provide maximum concealment

occupying halt and hide positions, optimising the position of the vehicle and the timely application and erection of camouflage

applying procedures for camouflaging a vehicle, including use of natural vegetation and artificial aids including camouflage nets and support sets that allow emergency redeployment of the vehicle without entanglement

reducing vulnerability through preparation of the vehicle, the use of camouflage and concealment, and the application of contingency actions that minimise risk

carrying out contingency actions to prevent or minimise damage to the person, the vehicle and the load, both when travelling alone and in convoy with other vehicles when in a threat environment

applying counter surveillance doctrine and procedures and the employment of operational driving techniques, in driving both a light and medium vehicle, carrying both general cargo and personnel, in a simulated operational environment

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.

tactical deployment procedures including convoy driving procedures and actions at a halt and occupation of a hide or administrative position

threats to vehicle security, observation and detection

contingency actions

Assessment Conditions

Competency should be assessed carrying both general cargo and personnel. While assessment will normally be conducted as a team activity involving a number of vehicles and drivers, evidence of individual performance should be gathered on operational driving, the tactical deployment of vehicles, the use of camouflage to prevent observation and detection, and the employment of contingency actions including counter-ambush and counter-air attack. Most assessment tasks require the cooperation and assistance of other team members, therefore the ability to work as part of a team should be included in the overall assessment.

Assessment should be sequential from the actions of the individual on the receipt of instructions for movement through to the employment of contingency actions. Given that most of this unit of competency is based on the application of drills and procedures the assessment will be conducted primarily through the observation of practical skills. Errors detected in performance can be used to prompt a more detailed examination of a particular knowledge or skill and verbal and/or a written questioning of underpinning knowledge may complement practical assessments.

Competency should be demonstrated as part of a broader assessment activity involving the tactical deployment of drivers and vehicles over an extended period. Performance will need to demonstrate reacting to a range of threats and carrying out contingency actions on a number of occasions.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.

Modification History

Release	Comments
Release 1	This version first released with BSB Business Services Training Package Version 1.0.

Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to effectively manage work health and safety (WHS) hazards and to comply with WHS legislation as it applies to the management or control of plant (not the design, manufacture, supply, installation, construction or commissioning of plant or issuing of licences associated with plant).

It applies to individuals who may provide leadership and guidance to others using managerial and communication skills and who use systematic approaches to identify and resolve issues.

NOTE: The terms 'occupational health and safety' (OHS) and 'work health and safety' (WHS) are equivalent and generally either can be used in the workplace. In jurisdictions where the National Model WHS Legislation has not been implemented RTOs are advised to contextualise the unit of competency by referring to the existing State/Territory OHS legislative requirements.

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

This unit describes the skills required to operate small watercraft. It includes the requirement to prepare the watercraft for operations, to conduct buoyancy calculations, to carry out appropriate tasks, and to clean and maintain the watercraft. While the technical aspects of this competency are concerned with ‘operating a boat’, the specialisation of the skill, and safety issues associated with waterborne operations confer additional responsibilities upon the operator. For all watercraft operations the individual may need to provide directions to personnel within the boat concerning specific safety matters such as seating, movement and actions on incidents such as man overboard and capsize. The watercraft will normally be operated: in protected or calm waters day or night in training, on exercise and on operations This unit applies to those required to operate small watercraft to conduct a range of tasks including: transporting personnel and/or equipment across water assisting mounting and maintaining wet crossing activities patrolling range boundaries recovering proof ordnance The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to. Those undertaking this unit will usually work independently under indirect supervision, demonstrating sound judgement in the use of authority and making independent decisions. They would perform routine tasks in a range of contexts that are sometimes unfamiliar and unpredictable.

This unit supersedes and is equivalent to DEFPR305B Take photographs suitable for publication within Defence. Unit code updated Content and formatting updated to comply with the new standards All PC transitioned from passive to active voice PC 3.1 reworded PC 4.2 revised

Application

This unit describes the skills required to take suitable photographs for incorporation within a Defence publication. This includes basic photographic techniques such as composition, lighting and layout. All Defence reporters are required to take photographs in a variety of formats suitable for publication in a range of publications. Generally the reporter determines the need, type and context of the photographs, but in some cases this will be under direction from senior reporters or the editor.

Reporters either work in a controlled environment where they can manage photographic activity or in an uncontrolled environment where they anticipate a photographic opportunity but cannot identify its exact timing or nature.

This unit was developed for Defence reporters, but is applicable to anyone working in this field.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would mainly work independently seeking assistance from superiors when needed. They would perform specific tasks in known contexts.

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