This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to develop and maintain a cooperative work group, communicate objectives, and required standards, support development activities and provide leadership to the work group.

This unit applies to those working in a leadership role at an operational level. In practice, coordinating a work group may overlap with other generalist or specialist work activities.

An individual undertaking this role usually works independently drawing upon support from a range of established resources.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those related to leadership.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
