This unit of competency involves the skills and knowledge required to coordinate the collection, analysis and dissemination of intelligence to support informed decision making at an incident.

Intelligence Officers are required to collect, interpret, analyse and generate numerical, text and map based information, use and apply mathematical modelsand communicate complex information using a variety of formats.An individual performing this role has the title of Intelligence Officer and is delegated responsibility by the Incident Controller or Planning Officer. They will support the Incident Controller and the Incident Management Team (IMT).

The intelligence function is generally carried out by an Intelligence Unit within the Planning Section. If the Incident Controller determines the need to expand the intelligence unit into a functional section then it will become an intelligence section reporting directly to the Incident Controller.Authorisation to perform this role is subject to organisational policies and procedures.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this 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)

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment. Non-essential conditions may be found in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

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.
