Key Takeaways:
- The Mining and Automotive Skills Alliance (AUSMASA) is leading several training package updates across the RII, AUM, and AUR training packages in 2025.
- Key changes include new unit development, qualification restructures, and critical updates to WHS and industry-specific content.
- Drafts and consultations are already in motion, with major endorsements expected between late 2025 and early 2027.
- Cross-package reviews will replace outdated units and introduce content aligned with modern job roles.
- RTOs should take proactive steps now to maintain compliance and uninterrupted delivery.
Significant reform is underway for the RII, AUM, and AUR training packages, driven by the Mining and Automotive Skills Alliance (AUSMASA). These updates are part of a national effort to align qualifications and units with current job roles, emerging technologies, and regulatory expectations.
From hydrogen vehicle servicing to mine site supervision and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), these training package updates signal a shift toward future-focused vocational education. To support your RTO’s transition, we’ve broken down the changes by sector and included a timeline for each project’s expected completion.
What’s Changing Across All Three Packages
Superseded Units Review
This large-scale update addresses the use of superseded and outdated, superseded units across qualifications in the RII, AUM, and AUR training packages. The goal is to ensure all training products meet current national competency standards and reduce compliance risk for RTOs.
Units will be replaced with endorsed equivalents, and packaging rules may be revised to maintain training relevance and flexible delivery models. This update supports a more consistent learner experience and helps RTOs meet national training standards. Affected training products include:

Review of RII Units of Competency (Completed)
This project, done in collaboration with BuildSkills Australia, focuses on overhauling high-use units within the RII training package, particularly those used in mining and civil construction qualifications. Many of these units contain duplicate content, outdated terminology, or unclear assessment conditions.
By refining and consolidating these elements, the project aims to improve training delivery, simplify assessment delivery confusion for learners and assessors, and enhance audit readiness for RTOs. Stakeholder feedback is driving changes to ensure alignment with workplace roles and current technologies. Affected training products include:
| Units of Competency: | Change: | Notes: |
|---|---|---|

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs) Training Product Development
This future-focused initiative will develop new units to support the safe servicing and maintenance of hydrogen-powered vehicles. The AUR training package currently lacks coverage of H2-FCEV systems, posing a gap in training for emerging job roles in the low-emissions vehicle sector.
The project will also consult stakeholders on whether the new units should be added to existing Certificate III automotive qualifications across electrical, mechanical, marine, and mobile plant disciplines. Affected training products include:
| Qualification: |
|---|

AUM Training Package Updates in 2025
Review of AUM30218 Qualification
This project is updating AUM30218 Certificate III in Automotive Manufacturing Technical Operations Bus, Truck and Trailer to remove superseded units and improve its alignment with contemporary manufacturing practices. The review will help ensure the qualification remains suitable for current job roles and meets ASQA compliance expectations. It may also result in changes to the structure and packaging of the qualification to better support learner progression and employer demand.
