(latest NCVER data)Loss and grief support requires workers to respond with sensitivity while recognising the individual nature of grief and the limits of their professional role. This unit gives RTOs a practical community services component for developing respectful support approaches.
Learners build capability in recognising grief responses, communicating sensitively, providing appropriate support, identifying additional needs and maintaining professional boundaries.
Prepare delivery with the CHCCCS017 RTO training materials instead of developing every core document internally. Your team can purchase RTO materials that are ready for review, contextualisation and implementation.
The CHCCCS017 training materials provide a structured base for preparing delivery around loss and grief support. Your organisation can purchase RTO materials to support trainer preparation, contextualisation and validation before delivery.
Before delivery, confirm current requirements through training.gov.au and validate these CHCCCS017 RTO learning materials for your community services context. Review the CHCCCS017 resources through your organisation’s quality processes. Include the CHCCCS017 training resources when considering broader RTO resources with reference to the Standards for RTOs.

These resources are developed with current training package requirements in mind. Your organisation still needs to review, contextualise and validate them for its learner cohort, service environment and assessment approach before implementation.
These resources include learning and assessment mapping to help validators trace relevant requirements across the package. This supports coverage checks, amendment planning and internal review without replacing your organisation’s responsibility to conduct and document validation.
These resources include an unlimited student licence, a Validation Acceptance Certificate, audit rectification support under the applicable guarantee and free non-regulatory Feedback-Based Enhancements for the existing CHCCCS017 materials.
