Units can be packaged together to meet the specific supervisory, leadership and advanced technical needs of occupations while also providing options for multi-skilling. (Note that this may include basic units needed in an occupation which may also be packaged in a lower level occupation.)

Importantly, the flexibility of packaging with the qualification framework must be considered within the responsibility of individuals, enterprises and/or registered training organisations to package units to meet the legislative requirements and/or industry codes of practice necessary at the occupational levels.

Units are discrete from each other; however units may be clustered and delivered and/or assessed concurrently and/or holistically.
