TLI Logistics and Warehousing Operations
Project scope
The Transport and Logistics Industry Reference Committee (IRC) proposed to review and combine the Certificate II in Logistics and Certificate II in Warehousing Operations (including the associated Units of Competency) and develop a single industry qualification to meet the current and future skills needs of entry-level workers in logistic and warehousing roles. The Units of Competency will be reviewed, and development completed to ensure that the effects of task automation, and emerging technologies are included for industry use.
This project will also address the need for workers operating in intermodal logistics hub, including the requirement for working safe work operations in the rail corridor and address the skill needs of rail warehousing and logistic workers.
This new qualification will provide learners with multiple vocational pathways within the scope of a single qualification.
The Transport and Logistics IRC will have oversight of this project, which will be facilitated by Australian Industry Standards (AIS) in consultation with industry stakeholders. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will be formed for this project.
