Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to observe, record and report on the presence of plants of Indigenous cultural significance against criteria provided by a supervisor or as required under legislation, regulations, and or community protocols. This unit involves the recognition of plants of Indigenous significance that are commonly encountered in land management situations and covers knowledge of Indigenous plant identification techniques, Indigenous plant names, community and organisational procedures for obtaining and supplying advice and information about Indigenous plants, and community or organisational expectations about the range and number of Indigenous plants to be recognised. This unit has a particular focus on culturally significant Indigenous plants, management and conservation.This unit applies to the identification and recording of Indigenous plants, local bushland and bush foods on Country. The unit applies to working with lore/law men and women either as an autonomous worker or under the supervision and cultural authority of Traditional Owners or Elders for specific Country. This unit applies to all Aboriginal sites workers. However, cultural beliefs and practices vary across locations and communities and in some situations non-Aboriginal learners may not be able to access the cultural knowledge or materials required to achieve competency in this unit due to restrictions that are applied to non-Aboriginal people gaining access to cultural knowledge, material or sites. In these situations the Registered Training Organisation will be required to make alternative arrangements for learners that are still consistent with the delivery and assessment requirements for this unit.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
