It’s always good to keep a folder of workplace documents because these can be used in a Recognition Assessment. These could include:

  • job descriptions
  • job references from current and past employers
  • reports from supervisors
  • copies of reports you have contributed to
  • minutes of team meetings you attended
  • certificates from training and/or community organisations
  • certificates from professional development activities.

The assessor will look at workplace documents as part of the Recognition Assessment process.

Part of Recognition Assessment involves an assessor watching you do workplace tasks. In remote areas this might be difficult so they might get you to video record tasks you do in your workplace. The assessor will use this as evidence for your Recognition Assessment.

Your workplace also benefits from you doing a Recognition Assessment. It means they get qualified staff. It also shows the further training you might need to become a qualified Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Primary health care worker.
