This unit describes the skills required to manage quick assessment (QA) inquiries and to make administrative decisions that may adversely affect members' rights, interests and expectations and that are within the discretion of the commanding officer (CO) to make.

This unit applies to those working as Defence members who have been given command, either as an automatic consequence of appointment, or by an instrument of appointment, as a CO or as an administrative CO; in some circumstances it is by rank only, irrespective of the position held.

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.

Those undertaking this unit would work autonomously, while performing sophisticated tasks in a broad range of contexts.

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)

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
