IRC membership details are updated each quarter.
The Water IRC is responsible for national training package qualifications relevant to occupations involved in water industry operations (generalist, treatment, networks, source, irrigation, hydrography, trade waste), treatment (drinking water, waste water) and irrigation.
These qualifications are included in the NWP National Water Training Package.
The IRC will consult widely during any future training package development process providing opportunity for any interested parties to make a contribution.
Technical Advisory Committees may also be established to inform future work, utilising a broad range of stakeholders with technical and specific industry knowledge.
The Water IRC is supported by the Skills Service Organisation, Australian Industry Standards (AIS). For more information visit AIS.
