Where the register points next
training.gov.au points at nothing after PMA60116: 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.
Official documents on the register
What training.gov.au lists for PMA60116 and for its training package PMA (release 2.3), 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 PMA60116 on your scope?
This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether PMA60116 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Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.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.
What PMA60116 is made of
training.gov.au lists 90 units for PMA60116: 4 core and 86 elective. To complete it, the register publishes a rule of 4 core units plus 11 electives — 15 units in all.
⚑register contradictionListed in PMA60116: 3 units the register itself has deleted, with no replacement published3
PMA60116 is current and the register publishes its unit grid. For these units the register also publishes, on their own record, a status that is not current and an empty replacement list. Both statements are the register's own. PMA60116 lists 29 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.
- MSMOPS601↗□electiveDesign equipment and system modificationsThe register lists MSMOPS601 in PMA60116 and has had it deleted since 4 May 2021. It publishes no replacement.
- MSMWHS601↗□electiveDevelop WHS management systemThe register lists MSMWHS601 in PMA60116 and has had it deleted since 4 May 2021. It publishes no replacement.
- TAEASS401↗□electivePlan assessment activities and processesThe register lists TAEASS401 in PMA60116 and has had it deleted since 7 December 2022. It publishes no replacement.
Read from the unit grid training.gov.au publishes for PMA60116 (release 3, 5 May 2021) and from each unit's own record on the same register. We do not say what to put in their 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 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.
