deletedthe status token training.gov.au records

Item 14

The two years of s 14(1)(b), counted from the date this product was removed from the National Register, ended before the instrument commenced on 1 July 2025 — so no completion date is shown here: the instrument imposes nothing before that day.

For an RTO registered by ASQA, nobody may be allowed to commence training and assessment in DEF60912 today. training.gov.au lists it as Deleted, and s 14(2) of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Compliance Standards for NVR Registered Training Organisations and Fit and Proper Person Requirements) Instrument 2025 (F2025L00355, in force 1 July 2025) requires the organisation to ensure it does not allow individuals to commence training and assessment in a training product that has expired, been removed or deleted from the National Register. s 14(2) carries no transition period of its own and no date to compute, and the “unless otherwise approved by the National VET Regulator” opening sits in s 14(1) only. It governs starts, not learners already enrolled: s 14(2) sets no date of its own for them — their completion period under s 14(1)(b)/(c) is stated separately on this page. RTOs registered by VRQA in Victoria or by the TAC in Western Australia are not covered by it.

Sector-wide: the item 14 cut-off, measured across every live scope · the repealed 12-month rule

The status above is the one training.gov.au records for DEF60912, written exactly as the register writes it. It is not one of the three we put into words, so we leave it in the register's own terms.

Where the register points next

training.gov.au does not publish a supersession path from DEF60912. There is no chain to follow from here.

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.

Is DEF60912 on your scope?

This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether DEF60912 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Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.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 DEF60912 is made of

training.gov.au lists 15 units for DEF60912: 4 core and 11 elective. The register does not publish a completion rule in units for this product, so we do not state one. How many of the electives are required is in the packaging rules on training.gov.au.

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 14 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.
