training.gov.au points at nothing after DEF30320: it is the current product, and no replacement is listed.

What the register says changed

These are the mapping notes training.gov.au attaches to each supersession, quoted as the register writes them. They are the only public record of what actually changed between two versions.

    The register records this supersession but attaches no note on what changed.

Official documents on the register

What training.gov.au lists for DEF30320 and for its training package DEF (release 7.1), with the name and date the register publishes for each file. We link them; we have not read them, and nothing on this page is taken from their contents.

Is DEF30320 on your scope?

This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether DEF30320 sits on your own scope today, or what else on that scope has moved without anyone noticing. Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.

Public code, nothing else. We read your live scope from training.gov.au and answer here — we keep neither the code nor the answer; what remains is the two-minute abuse counter described on our privacy page.

Whether a supersession requires anything of you, and what, sits with you and your regulator. This page maps what the register records; it does not make that judgement. If the difference between an equivalent and a non-equivalent replacement is the question, we wrote it up in equivalent vs not equivalent.

What DEF30320 is made of

training.gov.au lists 38 units for DEF30320: 2 core and 36 elective. To complete it, the register publishes a rule of 2 core units plus 13 electives — 15 units in all.

register contradictionListed in DEF30320: 1 unit the register itself has deleted, with no replacement published1

DEF30320 is current and the register publishes its unit grid. For this unit the register also publishes, on its own record, a status that is not current and an empty replacement list. Both statements are the register's own. DEF30320 lists 7 units more that the register no longer recommends as current, but for those it does publish a replacement: they are not part of this count.

  • TLIB3006electiveCarry out inspection of vehicles designed to carry special loadsThe register lists TLIB3006 in DEF30320 and has had it deleted since 21 November 2021. It publishes no replacement.

Read from the unit grid training.gov.au publishes for DEF30320 (release 1, 26 October 2020) and from each unit's own record on the same register. We do not say what to put in its place: the register publishes no replacement, and which elective covers the gap is a packaging-rules decision for your RTO.

Core and elective are the register's own flags on the unit grid of the release read here. "Not current" means training.gov.au no longer recommends that unit for use inside this product — it does not say anything about the product itself.

Source: this product on training.gov.au, Australia's national training register — or go straight to the units it requires. The rule itself is item 14 of F2025L00355, and ASQA publishes the extensions it has granted. Read on 13 October 2026 UTC. Every code, title, date, status and equivalence flag on this page is the register's; nothing here is estimated or inferred, and where the register publishes nothing we say so.
