Design and produce indigenous printed textiles to a brief

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency covers the skills and knowledge required to design and produce printed textiles that reflect Indigenous Australian cultures, in response to a brief.

The unit of competency applies to Indigenous Australians and the use of culturally-specific designs, artworks and production processes and techniques for printed fabrics or textile products. Textile products may involve more than one printing technique.

The unit of competency should be customised to accommodate the image use and design protocols and techniques specific to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community.

Work may be conducted in small to large scale enterprises and may involve individual and team activities.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Assessors must:

satisfy the assessor competency requirements that are in place at the time of the assessment, as set by the VET regulator

have vocational competency in designing textiles, at least to the level being assessed, with relevant industry knowledge and experience.

Assessment should occur in operational workplace situations. Where this is not possible, or where personal safety or environmental damage are limiting factors, assessment must occur in a sufficiently rigorous simulated environment reflecting realistic operational workplace conditions. This must cover all aspects of workplace performance, including environment, task skills, task management skills, contingency management skills and job role environment skills.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Conditions for assessment must include access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required, including relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications associated with this unit.
