Provide technical advice
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This competency was developed for Defence personnel, but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.
Typically technical advice is provided by individuals and supervisors when working independently and as part of a team under direct and/or indirect supervision, using discretion and judgement, and taking responsibility for the quality of their outputs. All activities are carried out in accordance with relevant organisational policies and procedures.
This unit covers the competency required to provide technical advice in a Defence context.
The unit includes the requirement to identify the issues surrounding the provision of advice and the formulation of options.
A person can only provide advice on subject areas for which they have requisite experience and knowledge.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. In a Defence context, this means that there is no civilian need to hold this unit in order to meet licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements.
