We deliver the PSP40416 Certificate IV in Government Investigations to Local Control Authority Officers throughout NSW.  We deliver a contextualised course that gives effect to not only the Biosecurity Act 2015 but also the Local Government Act.

The training includes contextualised workplace simulations around the Biosecurity Act 2015 that address the Biosecurity Management Plans. The officers gain an undertaking of the regulatory tools available, including the drafting and giving of Individual Biosecurity Notices.  The training incorporates the importance of the learners understanding civil and administrative remedies, and how to seek recovery action under the Act.

The course is delivered over 7 days comprising two workshops of 3 and 4 days.

The second workshop is delivered Face-to-Face.  This provides the learning environment for the officers to fully develop their skills and understanding of complex legislation, particularly understanding the Biosecurity Duties and how to draft, issue and monitor notices under the Act.  We will ensure that the learners develop an understanding of their regulatory powers to make the proper and accountable decisions.

The Face-to-Face component includes a half day on deal with conflict and developing tools to de-escalate conflict, including applying safe entry and exit protocols according to remote and lone worker policies.
