Why implement a Skills Passport?
• To encourage:– Nationally consistent practices– A drive to common training standards not covered by
Training Packages– Individual ownership of refresher training currency
• To develop a system that:– Supports COAG objectives– Assists mutual aid requests– Provides portable evidence of the currency of refresher
training and network authorisations– Supports in-field auditing of work parties

The Project Outcomes
• The project has involved the development of :– A national Passport– Passport content– Memorandum of Understanding– Rules for the administration of the Passport– A national database– A national website
