DAWE - Update of Training and accreditation for approved arrangements (class 19.1 and 19.2) policy & CBC activity for AEPCOMM

Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) has received advice from the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment via Import Industry Notice 104/2020 of updates in relation to the training and accreditation for approved arrangements (class 19.1 and 19.2) policy.

Industry Notice 104/2020

 

What has changed?

The Training and accreditation for approved arrangements (class 19.1, 19.2) policy was recently reviewed and updated to align with current accreditation and CBC procedures; and is now published on the department's Training and accreditation for approved arrangements web page.

Please note that the unit of competency TLIX5054 Comply with biosecurity border clearance has been superseded by TLIX0008 as a result of an update on the unit's elements and performance criteria. As these units are deemed equivalent, TLIX5054 will continue to be accepted for accreditation purposes.
