Mining Statutory Position Units

This set of units support regulatory eligibility requirements for holding a Statutory Position in the Mining Industry, as set out in Schedule 26 of the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022.

View the information provided by WorkSafe for more details.

It is designed for:

• Statutory position holders to stay updated and compliant with the latest WHS regulations
• Future statutory position holders to prepare to step into a new role fully equipped and compliant

RPL is perfect for those currently employed in the mining industry as a Statutory Supervisor or preparing to be appointed who do not need additional training or learning resources and can draw on their current skills and experience.

Learn more about RPL. The benefits and process explained.

Self-paced via our online portal to offer a flexible approach that can fit around your personal and work commitments.  It is important to stay self-motivated and study consistently to reach your goals within the enrolment timeframe.

You will complete scenario-based activities, using examples from your workplace. You are also required to supply workplace evidence and answer knowledge-based questions.

Enrolment in these units is for a period of three (3) months.

It is anticipated that completion of the RPL assessment tasks should take approximately three (3) days to complete (21 hours). 

RPL is a self-paced process. The actual time you need depends on how readily you can access and organise evidence of your skills and experience completing knowledge questions. If your evidence is already organised, it may take less time; if you need to source documents from employers or third parties, it may take longer.

In the event you are unable to complete the requirements within the three (3) month enrolment period, you may have the option to extend or re-enrol (conditions apply - see our RTO Schedule of Fees and Charges).

The units you need to complete will be dependent on the Statutory Position you hold - as outlined in the Approved WHS risk management units provided by WorkSafe. 

Our RPL pathways are designed to fit seamlessly into your busy schedule, empowering you to take control of your career development. No intakes - start when you are ready.
