Collective ceremonial drill fosters discipline, team work and a sense of collective identity while providing an appropriate means to physically commemorate the unique history, customs and traditions of military service.

This unit was developed for Defence personnel who are required to participate in and lead ceremonial drill, but is applicable to any individual in this field of work.

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 independently. They use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their outputs. They would perform routine tasks in mainly predictable contexts.

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