Assessment Documents
Your assessor will give you feedback about how well you went in each task and will write this on the back of
the Task Cover Sheet.
Assessment Outcomes
Each assessment task will be given an outcome of either Satisfactory (S) or Not Satisfactory (NS). You must
complete all tasks satisfactorily to achieve an overall outcome of Competent (C) for a unit. If one or more of
tasks are assessed as Not Satisfactory, you will be given an outcome for the unit of Not Yet Competent
(NYC).
You will be given a total of three attempts to complete each task and achieve a Satisfactory outcome. In the
case of resubmission, you will be given a date by which you will need to resubmit, and you’ll be given
feedback about what needs to be addressed in your resubmission.
Once you have attempted all assessment tasks, you assessor must enter a result for the unit in the Unit
Results box. You must achieve a Satisfactory outcome for all assessment tasks that are relevant to a unit to
be marked as Competent for the unit. Where you have attempted all tasks, but one or more tasks have an
outcome of Not Satisfactory, you assessor must record a result of Not Yet Competent in the Unit Results
box.
Assessment Appeals
If you don’t agree with an assessment decision made, you have the right to appeal it. You may need to lodge
your request for an appeal within a certain amount of time from the original decision being made. You will
need to make your appeal in writing and follow your RTO’s process for appeals. Refer to your Student
Handbook for more information about our appeals process.
Reasonable Adjustment
A legislative and regulatory framework underpins and supports the delivery of vocational education and
training across Australia. Under this framework, providers of vocational education and training must take
steps to ensure that students with recognised disabilities have the same learning opportunities and same
opportunities to perform and complete assessments as students without disabilities. Sometimes reasonable
adjustments are made to the learning environment, training delivery, learning resources and/or assessment
tasks to accommodate the particular needs of a student with a disability. An adjustment is reasonable if it can
accommodate the student’s particular needs while also taking into account factors such as:
The views of the student
The potential effect of the adjustment on the student and others
The costs and benefits of making the adjustment
RTOs are obliged by law to provide reasonable adjustments where required to ensure maximum participation
of students with a disability.
Making reasonable adjustments requires the RTO to balance the need for change with the expense or effort
involved in making this change. If an adjustment requires a disproportionately high expenditure or disruption
it is not likely to be reasonable.[1]
Please discuss with your assessor if you believe a reasonable adjustment to an assessment task, method or
process needs to be made on the basis of disability.

Dimensions of Competency
To be competent, you must show your ability to perform effectively in a broad capacity. The dimensions of
competency ensure the person being assessed has the skills to perform competently in a variety of different
circumstances. To be competent, you must demonstrate the following:
Task Skills: The skills needed to perform a task at an acceptable level. They include knowledge and
practical skills, and these are usually described in the performance criteria.
Task Management Skills: These are skills in organising and coordinating, which are needed to be able to
work competently while managing a number of tasks or activities within a job.
Contingency Skills: The skills needed to respond and react appropriately to unexpected problems,
changes in routine and breakdowns while also performing competently.
Job Role/Environment Skills: The skills needed to perform as expected in a particular job, position,
location and with others. These skills may be described in the range of variables and underpinning skills
and knowledge.
Principles of Assessment
Validity
‘An assessment decision of the RTO is justified, based on the evidence of performance of the individual
learner.’
Validity requires:
– Assessment against the unit/s of competency and the associated assessment requirements covers
the broad range of skills and knowledge that are essential to competent performance
– Assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their practical application
– Assessment to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a learner could demonstrate these
skills and knowledge in other similar situations; and
– Judgement of competence is based on evidence of learner performance that is aligned to the unit/s
of competency and associated assessment requirements.
Reliability
‘Evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and assessment results are comparable
irrespective of the assessor conducting the assessment.’
Flexibility
‘Assessment is flexible to the individual learner by:
– Reflecting the learner’s needs
– Assessing competencies held by the learner no matter how or where they have been acquired
– Drawing from a range of assessment methods and using those that are appropriate to the context,
the unit of competency and associated assessment requirements, and the individual.’
Fairness
Rules of Evidence
Validity
‘The assessor is assured that the learner has the skills, knowledge and attributes as described in the
module or unit of competency and associated assessment requirements.’
Sufficiency
‘The assessor is assured that the quality, quantity and relevance of the assessment evidence enables a
judgement to be made of a learner’s competency.’
Currency
‘The assessor is assured that the assessment evidence demonstrates current competency. This requires
the assessment evidence to be from the present or the very recent past.’
Authenticity
‘The assessor is assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the learner’s own work.’
Assessment Plan
The following outlines the assessment requirements for this unit. You are required to complete all
assessment requirements outlined below to achieve competency for this unit.
Your assessor will provide you with the due dates for each assessment task. Write them in the table below.

QUESTION 5
Scenario
Shamus’s family come to talk to you about his care.
They want to speak to you because they trust you as someone who has worked very closely with Shamus
as a palliative care worker for the last two months.
They are very distressed about a report they have received from the doctor, who has told them that
Shamus has only days to live.
His family ask you to refer them to a different doctor – there must be something that can be done to
preserve his life. They aren’t ready to lose him yet!
Shamus has an advanced care directive. It states he does not want further medical treatment to keep him
alive.
His family are aware of this directive.
a) You feel that people have the right to get a second opinion. Should you refer Shamus’s family to a good
doctor that you know? Explain your answer.
QUESTION 6

Shamus has died.
His wife, Katherine, comes to see you and thanks you for looking after him so well.
She gives you a hug, and you both feel a bit sad.
Katherine tells you that she seems to be living in a daze. She can’t even remember what she did this
morning. She is usually so well organised but just can’t seem to concentrate at the minute. What if
something goes wrong at the funeral because she forgets to do something?
‘I haven’t even cried yet!’ she exclaims.

QUESTION 10
Scenario
Betty has severe dementia.
Before she got dementia, she had written out an advanced care directive that said that she wanted to be
resuscitated by CPR if she collapsed under any circumstances.
As far as Betty was concerned, life was more important than anything else – even if she wouldn’t be able
to make her own decisions as her dementia progressed.
Betty’s son has not been to visit her for months. One day he appears at Betty’s side. ‘I’m the only next of
kin,’ he says. ‘Mum isn’t here anymore; she’s just a vegetable now. I don’t want her to be resuscitated if
she collapses again. Just let the old lady die.’
You are aware that Betty is a very rich woman. From the look of her son, he could do with some money.
a) What ethical issues are involved in this scenario, and what action should the care worker take?
b) Outline what is ‘unconscious bias’ is and how it could impact providing the correct care in this situation.
c) Betty’s last surviving relative is her son. Considering he says he has power of attorney, do you think you
can give him any of the information he has asked for? Explain your answer.
QUESTION 11
a) Palliative care also includes care of the deceased person’s body and meeting their documented
preferences. Outline what information would be included with regards to preferences in an Advance Care
Directive.

Scenario
Barry is British. He came to Australia in his 60s to be with his family.
Barry and his family are very private people. They tend to keep their feelings to themselves – perhaps this
is because of their British culture.
Barry has late stages of a terminal disease. He has made it clear in his advance care directive that he:
does not wish to be resuscitated
wants to be kept comfortable
