06 November 2023 HLT Training Package Update: ASQA Allows Extended Transition for HLT40113 Certificate IV in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care
The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) has announced a crucial update in the HLT training package, specifically impacting the transition deadline for the HLT40113 Certificate IV in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care. This move, prompted by a recent application for an extended transition, aims to provide additional time for students pursuing this qualification.
In response to evolving needs, this HLT training update surpasses the established guidelines (Clause 1.26 (a) in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015). The original deadline for training, assessment, and certification issuance, initially set for 31 December 2024, has now been extended to 31 July 2025. This adjustment is designed to bring flexibility and support to students navigating this training journey.
Aligned with the principles of the Guidance for Providers โ Learner Transition, ASQA thoroughly evaluates applications for extended transition periods. This process prioritises considering potential genuine disadvantages to a specific learner cohort if an extension is not granted.
It’s important to note that this extension exclusively applies to students who commenced their training and/or assessment in the qualification on or before 13 December 2023. All affected students must either successfully complete their studies or transition to replacement qualifications by the revised deadline.
Before reaching this decision, ASQA engaged in consultations with key educational authorities, including the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority and the Training Accreditation Council of Western Australia. Further discussions were held with the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations and the Jobs and Skills Council, which oversees operational responsibility for the HLT training package.
Significantly, the HLT40113 Certificate IV in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care will remain on the scope of registration for RTOs until the conclusion of the extended transition period. This HLT training update underscores ASQA’s unwavering commitment to supporting and acknowledging the qualification’s importance in the healthcare sector.
14 September 2023 HLT Training Updates: Extended Transition Period Approved for Aboriginal and/or Torres Islander Health Care Qualifications
The Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) released a new health (HLT) training package update extending the transition period for two Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander health care qualifications.
ASQA exercised its authority to approve more extended transition periods than those indicated in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations 2015. Following the Guidance for Providers โ Learner Transition, ASQA investigates requests for an extended transition if it’s clear that it would be disadvantageous for learners if not given an extension.
After consulting with the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) and the Training Accreditation Council of Western Australia (TAC WA), ASQA approved the extended transition period.
Benefits of the Extended Transition Period in New HLT Training Package Update
The revised transition period, moved from 31 December 2024 to 31 July 2025, only applies to learners who have already enrolled or plan to enrol in the affected HLT qualifications on or before 13 December 2023. This new transition period means learners have more time to complete their studies and gain their respective certifications for the specified Aboriginal and/or Torres Islander health care qualifications.
However, learners should attain their certifications or transfer to replacement qualifications by the end of the extended transition period.
With this HLT training update, registered training organisations (RTOs) can keep the specified qualifications on their scope of registration until the end of the revised transition period.
The extended transition provides RTOs with the avenue for a smoother transition process to accommodate their learner’s needs while ensuring the delivery of the highest standard of training and assessment.

The qualifications with an extended transition period are:

ASQA’s decision to extend the transition period for these specialised HLT qualifications showcases its dedication to making vocational education and training more accessible and efficient.
With this move, ASQA is giving learners more time to finish their courses, intending to reduce possible setbacks and bolster a skilled and capable healthcare workforce.
For RTOs and learners, you should make the most of this opportunity to ensure a smooth transition and embrace the advantages these qualifications bring to the healthcare sector.

For RTOs, the HLT training update means that the specified qualifications will remain on their scope of registration until the end of the extended transition period.

Their endorsement highlights the collective agreement among industry professionals regarding the need for an extended transition period to maintain the quality and standards of massage therapy education.
Collaboration with Regulatory Authorities
ASQA worked closely with the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) and the Training Accreditation Council Western Australia (TAC WA) to assess and consider the extended transition period request. This collaboration with regulatory authorities ensures a comprehensive and informed decision-making process.
Maintaining Qualification Scope
Throughout the extended transition period, the HLT42015 Certificate IV in Massage Therapy and HLT52015 Diploma of Remedial Massage qualifications will remain in the scope of registration for the relevant Registered Training Organisations (RTOs).

Approving an extended transition period for the HLT42015 Certificate IV in Massage Therapy and HLT52015 Diploma of Remedial Massage qualifications by ASQA reflects a commitment to ensuring fairness for learners.

HLT Training Updates: New Infection Prevention and Control Units Postponed
The implementation of the new Infection Prevention and Control units of competency, HLTINF006 and HLTINF007, has been postponed! The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) has announced that RTOs will have until 1 July 2023 to deliver these new units instead of the initial 1 March 2023 deadline.
Stakeholders raised concerns about the tight timeline, prompting the AISC to delay the implementation date. This delay will give RTOs more time to prepare and adjust their delivery schedules for the new HLT training updates. It also ensures they have enough time to stay up-to-date with the latest infection prevention and control practices.
As a result, RTOs can now continue to deliver the superseded HLTINF001 and HLTINF003 units until 30 June 2023, providing more flexibility in planning for the updated qualifications. From 1 July 2023, RTOs with these qualifications and skill sets must deliver either the HLTINF006 or HLTINF007 units.

New Infection Prevention and Control Units Updated to Meet Industry Demands
ASQA has released the latest (Version 8.0) HLT training package in Australia with major revisions to the qualifications, units of competency, and skill sets. One of the notable revisions was the endorsement of two new Infection Prevention and Control units of competency, namely:
- HLTINF006 โ Apply basic principles and practices of infection prevention and control, which superseded HLTINF001
- HLTINF007 โ Implement and monitor infection prevention and control standards, policies and procedures , which supersedes HLTINF003
These changes were a result of the current industry demands to update the skills and knowledge of the learners and meet the standards for infection prevention and control.
The Australian Industry Skills Committee (AISC) has agreed to replace the superseded units on all current CHC and HLT qualifications, with 29 qualification updates and no transition period applicable. This โminor changeโ commences on 28 February 2023, which gives RTOs sufficient time to prepare for the training delivery of the new units within the affected qualifications from 1 March 2023.
