Where the register points next

training.gov.au points at nothing after PSP40416: it is the current product, and no replacement is listed.

This product is listed on the National Schedule of Training Product Development: under review by Public Safety Skills Australia Ltd trading as Public Skills Australia (Review of Government Investigations Qualifications), expected submission to the Assurance Body 27 October 2026. That is a submission date, not a supersession date: assurance, endorsement and publication follow, so a new version can only reach the register after it.

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 PSP40416 on your scope?

This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether PSP40416 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Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.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.

What PSP40416 is made of

training.gov.au lists 30 units for PSP40416: 6 core and 24 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 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.
