The Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency (ANZPAA), the peak body representing policing across Australia and New Zealand, has established governance arrangements to support the review and development of policing training products. These arrangements include specialised focus groups, working groups, and training and education committees comprising subject matter experts and education professionals. Public Skills Australia works in partnership with ANZPAA to develop draft training products, which are subsequently reviewed by each state and territory police agency and their associated registered training organisations (RTOs). The governance process also incorporates consultation with the Police Federation of Australia, ensuring workforce perspectives are considered before training products receive final endorsement from Police Commissioners in each jurisdiction and the ANZPAA Board.

Technical Committee

To support the progression of commissioner approved Training Package products, Public Skills Australia will establish a Technical Committee composed of membership from the ANZPAA Training and Education Advisory Group (ATEAG).

Details of the Technical Committee composition and terms of reference can be found linked on this page.
