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.

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Enter your RTO number and we read every product on your live scope against training.gov.au and tell you which ones are superseded and which replacements the register flags not equivalent.

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.

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.
