Traffic management training in Victoria is being updated to align with the new Code of Practice for Worksite Safety – Traffic Management which comes into effect on December 1st, 2023. Program now ending on 29 February 2024.
The updates involve adopting the new National Training Framework for Temporary Traffic Management, supported by localised content. It ensures individuals working in the industry are appropriately trained and that their knowledge and skills are maintained.
The National Training Framework is designed under the Vocational Education and Training (VET) framework based on Skill Sets and Units of Competencies and provides:
- graduated learning across Temporary Traffic Management categories.
- greater opportunities and a more structured genuine career path.
- theoretical (classroom) and practical training.
- mutual recognition – individuals who have successfully completed the training requirements in one state/territory will have this training recognised in another participating state/territory. Please note there may be additional localised training requirements in states and territories specific to the jurisdiction.
There are three Temporary Traffic Management (TTM) roles:
- Traffic Controller (TC)
- Traffic Management Implementer (TMI)
- Traffic Management Designer (TMD)
The role and where the work is being undertaken, including its complexity determines the TTM category of training required. There are eight temporary traffic management national training programs with associated Skill Sets.
Workers with existing qualifications – current traffic management workers will need to undertake the new training as their qualifications expire.
New workers – new traffic management workers will be required to complete the new training from 1st December 2023.
Qualifications will still need to be renewed every three years.
