    Minor changes to performance criteria. Performance evidence reduced from 5 to 3 specimen types. Clarification added to assessment conditions. Foundation skills made explicit.

Is HLTPAT009 on your scope?

This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether HLTPAT009 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Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.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 — nothing is stored unless you ask us to watch it.

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.
