Key Issues to be Resolved
Published: 26 August 2026
The outdoors helps Australians to live healthy and full lives, and the sector makes a significant contribution to our national economy.
As the Jobs and Skills Council for this important sector, HumanAbility has been undertaking the Outdoor Recreation and Leadership Qualification Review to ensure training delivers the skills the workforce needs.
We understand this review represents a crucial moment that will shape the future of outdoor recreation.
Industry representatives have expressed concerns to us about the qualification review. We are listening, and we have made the decision that this project will not proceed to the next stage until key issues are resolved.
The Outdoor Council of Australia will host an industry-wide webinar on behalf of HumanAbility to share further information, discuss some of the issues raised, and provide an opportunity for the industry to ask questions. Details will be provided soon, and the session will be recorded and made available to those unable to attend.
We offer our sincere thanks to everyone who has participated in this review to date. Your input is vital and will continue to inform our work to make sure Outdoor Recreation and Leadership qualifications are delivering the skills training that industry needs.
The Outdoor Recreation and Leadership Qualification Review will critically evaluate and update qualifications in the sector to ensure they align with current industry needs, regulatory requirements, safety, and wellbeing outcomes.
