About
The Capacity Building Working Group coordinates a range of training programs and initiatives, including the National Competency and Training Standards project, the Regulatory Officer Capability Framwork, learning resources and the Professional Development & Training Program (an initiative led by NSW EPA).
Current Projects
Authorised Officers Policy
The purpose is to provide a policy framework outlining the experience, training, qualifications, and other requirements to appoint a person as an authorised officer in a regulatory role, allowing them to exercise powers under legislation. The policy is intended to assist AELERT member agencies to identify core requirements in developing their own policies.
AELERT Regulatory Officer Capability Self-Evaluation Tool
The project will allow Regulatory Officers to evaluate their skills and capabilities against the AELERT Regulatory Officer Capability Framework through on online portal. The project will benefit AELERT member agencies by advancing regulatory practice and identifying and supporting development and training needs and opportunities.
Training Matrix
This proposal is for a matrix of training available nationally to support the Regulatory Officer Capability Framework and to provide a portal for AELERT member agencies to identify training to facilitate professional development within their organisations.
Regulatory Officer Capability Framework
The Working Group developed the Regulatory Officer Capability Framework that descirbes the core capabilities and skill sets required of regulatory officers from new starters through to managers and executives in regulatory agencies.
The tool is designed to be used regardless of the regulatory profession and assists agencies to improve workforce planning and achieve regulatory objectives. Individual officers can also use it to identify their own training and development needs.
