This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to comply with cultural and consultative requirements for sourcing, handling, interpreting and exhibiting cultural material. It involves sourcing cultural material that could be required for an exhibition or display through research and consultation with community groups.

The unit applies to those who work in organisations that hold, research or display cultural material that is not specifically of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin. It applies to elements of cultures, and intellectual properties of communities, that are represented within Australian collecting institutions or which are held temporarily for display or research purposes.

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