- HLT40213 – Certificate IV in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care Practice
The transition period for training, assessment and certification issuance for these training products is extended from 31 December 2024 to 31 July 2025.
This decision only applies for the following student cohort/s:
- students who have commenced formal training and/or assessment in their course on or before 13 December 2023
All students must either complete and receive certification or be transferred to replacement training products by the new transition end date.

The training products referenced above will remain on RTOs’ scope of registration until the end of the extended transition period.
