Where the register points next
training.gov.au points at nothing after SHB30516: 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 SkillsEQuipped Ltd trading as Service and Creative Skills Australia (Review of Hairdressing and Barbering Qualifications), with submission to the Assurance Body expected by 24 July 2026. That date has passed, so a revised product can reach the register at any time — but submission is not publication, and the record above is still what the register says today.

Official documents on the register
What training.gov.au lists for SHB30516 and for its training package SHB (release 5.0), 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 SHB30516 on your scope?
This page is the register's record of one product. What it cannot tell you is whether SHB30516 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Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.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 SHB30516 is made of
training.gov.au lists 33 units for SHB30516: 21 core and 12 elective. To complete it, the register publishes a rule of 21 core units plus 5 electives — 26 units in all.
⚑register contradictionListed in SHB30516: 1 unit the register itself has deleted, with no replacement published1
SHB30516 is current and the register publishes its unit grid. For this unit the register also publishes, on its own record, a status that is not current and an empty replacement list. Both statements are the register's own. SHB30516 lists 6 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.
- SHBXCCS004↗□electiveRecommend products and servicesThe register lists SHBXCCS004 in SHB30516 and has had it deleted since 15 December 2021. It publishes no replacement.
Read from the unit grid training.gov.au publishes for SHB30516 (release 1, 31 March 2016) and from each unit's own record on the same register. We do not say what to put in its 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.

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.
