To understand what changes in regulations related to training mean to you?

The new regulations, - the Rail Safety Regulations Division 3 Sections 38 - 40 require the following:

38 - Competency of rail safety workers

39 - Assessment of rail safety worker competence

40 - Records of competence and training

Competency of rail safety workers means that we must Assess competence against any applicable units of competence recognised under the Quality Training Framework within the meaning of the Skilling Australia’s Workforce Act 2005 or any other competency as specified by the Safety Director

The ARA appointed TDT to review competencies Competencies recognised under the Act. TDT is progressing this and a draft has been produced.
