In 2005, the Department of Health and Ageing funded the Community Services & Health Industry Skills Council (ISC) to develop 2 units of competency about a palliative approach for Certificate III and Certificate IV qualifications. The National Quality Council endorsed the palliative approach units of competency on 10 January 2006 and representatives of education ministers agreed to endorsement on 25 January 2006.

Subsequently, PCA produced teaching resources for the following 2 units of competency about a palliative approach for Certificate III and Certificate IV qualifications:

• CHCPA01A Deliver care services using a palliative approach
• CHCPA02A Plan for and provide care services using a palliative approach

These resources are available for AUD $225 (ex GST).

The teaching resources contain all the information that a trainer will need to deliver a competency unit. This includes PowerPoint presentations with notes, learning activites, assesment tasks and learners resources that can be photocopied for students.
