Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills required to allocate resources to achieve results; and monitor, evaluate and report on resource usage.

This unit applies to those working in generalist and specialist roles from a range of occupational areas where responsibility for resource allocation is required.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those related to use of resources.

Those undertaking this unit work autonomously, occasionally accessing and evaluating support from a broad range of sources. The role requires ICT, analysis and organisation skills.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

1. Allocate available resources to achieve results

1.1 Identify resource requirements based on assessment of current workloads and staff needs.

1.2 Allocate resources to enable achievement of work unit objectives.

2.4 Allocate replacement or additional resources as required.

3. Report on resource usage

3.2 Complete reports to indicate the level of performance achieved and any follow-up action required.

3.3 Apply appropriate technology to resource management systems.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the candidate must demonstrate evidence of performance of the following on at least two occasions.

accessing and applying legislation, regulations and organisational policies, procedures and practices relating to resource allocation and usage

accessing and using information systems in the context of resource allocation and usage

calculating resource usage

planning, acquiring and accounting for a range of resources

reviewing resource usage and adjusting according to organisation’s objectives

keeping written records of resource allocation and usage

using available technology to allocate and monitor resources

Evidence required to demonstrate competence must satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria. If not otherwise specified the depth of knowledge demonstrated must be appropriate to the job context of the candidate.

organisation's policies and procedures relating to the protocols and guidelines in relation to resource allocation and usage

operational procedures for accessing, storing, maintaining and using resources

stock-handling procedures

budget procedures

financial management principles and procedures

government security procedures relating to resources

individual and colleagues/team roles and responsibilities in the context of resource allocation and usage

Assessment should include the opportunity to demonstrate evidence from work in the wider community. Evidence should be gathered over time in a range of contexts to ensure the candidate can achieve the unit outcome and apply the competency in different situations or environments.

Valid assessment of this unit requires a workplace environment or one that closely resembles normal work practice and replicates the range of conditions likely to be encountered when coordinating resource allocation and usage, including coping with difficulties, irregularities and breakdowns in routine.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.

Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
