Advances in Woodmachining and Sawdoctoring Project and the Sawmill Timber and Process Optimisation Project are currently in the development phase. These projects commenced with the establishment of Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) in late August 2018. Following feedback and consultations with the TACs, work has begun on reviewing the Certificate III in Sawdoctoring and Certificate III in Woodmachining including their units of competency.

TAC members also supported a series of site visits to identify skills and knowledge needs regarding timber and process optimisation in sawmills.

Projects Completed – AISC Submission
Both the Prefabrication of Panelised Timber Building Systems and On-site Installation Project Manufacturing Solid Engineered Wood Products (Cross Laminated Timber and Glulam) Project have reached their conclusion after all relevant documents were checked for editorial, equity and quality assurance, reviewed by the State/Territory Training Authorities (STAs/TTAs) and signed-off by the Chair of the Timber and Wood Processing & Timber Building Solutions Industry Reference Committees (IRCs).
On 21 November, the final new and updated units of competency, the Case for Endorsement and the Companion Volume Implementation Guide were submitted to the Australian Industry Skills Committee (AISC) for endorsement.
Following endorsement by the AISC, the final new and updated units of competency will be published on www.training.gov.au, which means they will be available for use by registered training organisations (RTOs).
The Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) approved the Case for Endorsement for the updated and revised qualifications, skill sets and units of competency made during the Pulp and Paper Manufacturing Safety Compliance.
The final training package components are now published on www.training.gov.au within the PPM Pulp & Paper Manufacturing Industry Training Package Release 2
