This unit applies to those whose work includes protecting indigenous peoples' places of culture in co-operation with stakeholders and protecting places of cultural significance with reference to indigenous communities and/or line management. A high level of cultural awareness and the need to observe cultural protocols are important in parts of the process. Note: for indigenous cultural places, the delivery and assessment against this standard must comply with community protocols and guidelines and be supported by elders and custodians of country.

This unit covers the protection of places of cultural significance and defines the standard required to: develop working relationships with stakeholders in cultural sites; canvass views in determining the heritage value and preservation issues of a cultural site; plan for the protection of a cultural site including resources required and submissions to be completed; observe cultural protocols in dealing with stakeholders and land managers; identify threats and develop action and emergency plans to mitigate and manage the risk of damaging incidents or loss of heritage value; document the submissions to implement conservation and restoration activities and support the incident management activities.
