Getting started with Ausmed Comptency™ Beta

What is Ausmed Comptency™ Beta?

Ausmed Competency™ Beta is a comprehensive library of professionally written, evidence-based competency assessment templates designed to help organisations evaluate staff knowledge, skills, and behaviours against industry standards and regulatory requirements.

As this is a beta version, it is currently in testing mode and will be refined based on feedback. Further features may be developed over time, evolving into a more comprehensive Competency Management System.

The templates are available as editable PDF files, allowing for easy modifications.

There are two types of templates available:

• Assessor Copy – Used by assessors to evaluate a candidate’s competency.
• Candidate Copy – Provided to the candidate to guide their preparation and completed as part of their assessment.

Your feedback is invaluable in shaping the future of Ausmed Competency™—we welcome your insights as we continue to enhance this system.
