Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to conduct health promotion related to eye health as part of primary health care services for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities.This unit applies to those Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Workers providing a range of primary health care services to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander clients and communities.The skills in this unit must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation, Australian/New Zealand standards and industry codes of practice. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Unless state or territory legislation prevents practice in the workplace, skills must be demonstrated working: in a health service or centre as part of a multidisciplinary primary health care team with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander clients and communities. Note: Where state or territory legislation prevents practice in the workplace, simulated assessment environments may only be used in place of workplace assessment. In addition, simulations and scenarios must be used where the full range of contexts and situations cannot be provided in the workplace or may occur only rarely. These are situations relating to emergency or unplanned procedures where assessment in these circumstances would be unsafe or is impractical. Simulated assessment environments must simulate the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment including retinal cameras, and tools and equipment used to test visual acuity, to measure pupillary distance and Bifocal and progressive height measurements and to adjust spectacles. Assessors must satisfy the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors. Assessment must be undertaken by a workplace assessor who has expertise in this unit of competency and who is: an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Worker or: accompanied by an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person who is a recognised member of the community with experience in primary health care. |
