September to October 2024
Project Scope
The CHCCSM013 Facilitate and review case management unit of competency is a core component of 3 diploma qualifications, however some states cannot provide these placements due to regulations requiring bachelor-level qualifications. This is preventing students from completing their studies.
Our project will focus on whether the unit should be moved to the elective banks for:
- CHC50321 Diploma of Child, Youth and Family Intervention
- CHC52021 Diploma of Community Services
- CHC50421 Diploma of Youth Work
Project governance and consultation strategy
We have established a Technical Committee (TC) of experts to provide advice for the project. TC members are selected for their relevant expertise on the diverse aspects of the project.

Project fact sheet
We have established a project Technical Committee (TC) with members carefully selected based on their relevant expertise and experience in the project's focus areas. The TC will provide specialised advice and guidance for this project and will meet to recommend stakeholders and provide consultation strategies, and to offer technical advice on skills and placement hours needed for 3 diploma qualifications.
Additionally, we are conducting desktop research and reviewing available information on industry standards, working conditions and employer recruitment selection criteria.
Thank you to all participants who provided their feedback on our Consultation Paper. Your perspectives are important to shaping the outcomes of our project and ensuring alignment with industry needs.
Consultations were held between Monday 18 November and Friday 20 December 2024, and you can review the feedback we received in the Consultation Log.
Consultation Log
We appreciate the enthusiastic and positive engagement from the Community Services sector during the national consultation virtual workshops.
The project's primary goal is to address current assessment conditions in the CHCCSM013 Facilitate and review case management unit of competency that prevent students across Australia from completing their qualifications.
We will work with the Australian Skills Quality Authority to request an extension to the transition period for the 3 Community Service diploma qualifications;
- CHC50413 Diploma of Youth Work
- CHC50313 Diploma of Child Youth and Family Intervention
- CHC52015 Diploma of Community Services.
Between November and December 2024, 6 virtual workshops were held with 44 attendees providing valuable feedback and suggestions.
We also received 53 completed surveys during the consultation period. All feedback has been carefully considered, analysed and integrated into the final materials.
The Technical Committee supports the revised draft documents which shortly submitted to the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations' assurance body for assessment and endorsement to the Skills Ministers.
Our project Consultation Summary Report is now available.
