Where the register points next
training.gov.au points at nothing after DEFGEN008: 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.
Is DEFGEN008 on your scope?
This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether DEFGEN008 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Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.
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.
Where DEFGEN008 is used
training.gov.au lists DEFGEN008 inside 28 training products, 15 of them current. Every one of them is below, with the register's own core or elective flag for DEFGEN008 in that product.

Products no longer current 13 listed
The register still records DEFGEN008 inside these, but it no longer recommends them as current. They are here because a scope history or an old enrolment can still point at them.

The rule itself is item 14 of F2025L00355, and ASQA publishes the extensions it has granted. Read on 28 August 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.
