Where the register points next
training.gov.au does not publish a supersession path from HLTCOM503D. 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 HLTCOM503D on your scope?
This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether HLTCOM503D 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Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.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 HLTCOM503D is used
training.gov.au lists HLTCOM503D inside 15 training products, none of them current. Every one of them is below, with the register's own core or elective flag for HLTCOM503D in that product.
Products no longer current 15 listed
The register still records HLTCOM503D 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.

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 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.
