ELIGIBILITY CHECK

Tick all three before you enrol.

Online refreshers are only available to people who already hold the underlying qualification. If you can’t tick all three, please don’t enrol — give us a call and we’ll point you to the right course.

You hold a current Statement of Attainment

You must already hold an SOA for RIIRIS301E, RIIWHS301E, and RIICOM301E (or equivalent prior units).

Your SOA is dated after 2015

We can’t accept Statements of Attainment dated before 2015, or wallet cards.

Either a clear scanned copy of your SOA, or a VET Transcript from your USI portal with the QR verification code.

Refunds for ineligible enrolments incur a $50 admin fee. Call 07 5593 8268 if you’re unsure.

This refresher is delivered 100% online through our learning portal. After enrolment, you’ll receive immediate access credentials via email.

The assessment consists of a series of quizzes covering each unit of competency. You can complete the course at your own pace within the 30-day access window. Most students complete in approximately 4 hours of focused study.

Once you’ve finished the quizzes, email us a copy of your existing SOA (dated after 2015) for verification. Statement of Attainment is issued within 1–2 business days of receiving correct documentation.

RIIRIS301E — Apply risk management processes

Plan, organise, conduct, monitor, and review risk management processes on a worksite. Identify hazards, assess risk levels, determine unacceptable risk thresholds, implement controls, and maintain accurate written records.

RIIWHS301E — Conduct safety and health investigations

Plan and execute workplace investigations, gather evidence through interviews, photographs and scale diagrams, maintain evidence integrity, identify causal relationships, and report findings effectively to relevant stakeholders.

RIICOM301E — Communicate information

Apply technical communication skills, chair meetings, prepare agendas, deliver formal presentations, document negotiation outcomes, and listen actively to clarify work instructions across diverse teams.

To pass this refresher, you’ll demonstrate current knowledge across each of the three units. The online assessment is delivered as a series of quizzes that test your understanding of:

Risk management
  • Planning and organising risk management activities
  • Identifying hazards and assessing risk levels in a supervisory context
  • Selecting, implementing, and reviewing risk controls
  • Maintaining written records and documentation
Safety & health investigations
  • Determining investigation objectives and authority
  • Planning evidence-gathering activities
  • Maintaining procedural fairness
  • Identifying causal relationships and reporting outcomes
Communication
  • Applying technical literacy and industry terminology
  • Identifying communication barriers and strategies
  • Chairing meetings and delivering presentations
  • Documenting negotiation outcomes professionally

Refresher training is recommended every 5 years for this unit set, in line with industry standards and changes to Australian Standards, WHS Regulations, and relevant Codes of Practice.

This Statement of Attainment doesn’t have an expiry date, but most worksites and employers expect currency to be maintained.

If you’ve already completed equivalent units of competency with another RTO, you may be eligible for Credit Transfer (no fee, no reassessment required) or Recognition of Prior Learning (assessment of existing skills and experience).

Both options must be applied for before commencement of training delivery. Speak to our enrolment team about your existing qualifications when booking — we’ll help identify what may be eligible.

We provide reasonable adjustments and additional support for students who need it, including:

  • Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) support during course delivery
  • Reasonable adjustments for students with disability or specific learning needs
  • Wellbeing support — referrals to Beyond Blue, Lifeline, and other appropriate services if you’re experiencing personal difficulties
  • One-on-one trainer support throughout your course

Contact our team before enrolment to discuss any support needs — we’ll work with you to ensure you’re set up to succeed.

Standard refund and cancellation policy applies. If you don’t hold the prerequisite unit of competency, your enrolment will be withdrawn and refunded less a $50 administration fee.

Full details are available on our Refund Policy page — please review before enrolling.
