Thanks to the contributions of everyone involved in this project, national skills standards have been developed to support farmers and those with water entitlements to navigate Australian water markets. They are now published on the national training register (training.gov.au).
Two skill sets and three units were developed to describe the practical skills required to navigate Australia’s complex trading markets. The new units are now included in the Certificate III in Irrigation and the Diploma of Agribusiness.
The final draft units, skill sets and qualifications have been approved by the Australian Industry and Skills Committee (AISC) and State and Territory Skills Ministers and have undergone edit and equity and independent quality assurance process, including review by the Agriculture and Production Horticulture Industry Reference Committee and State/Territory Training Authorities (STAs/TTAs).
