of the following units:
Assessment Task 1: Knowledge Questions You must answer knowledge questions in an open book
Knowledge written assessment.
Questions
Assessment Task 2: Case Study Questions You must demonstrate the application of knowledge of
Case Studies providing client support by answering a series of case
study questions. There are three case studies to provide
a response to.
Assessment Task 3: Project and Role Plays This task consists of six parts:
Contributing to Skills
Development – ▪ Part A: Review the Individual Support Plan for Your
Hamilton Client
▪ Banksia Care supporting documents (accessible from the Banksia Care website):
▪ Resubmit incorrect answers to questions (such as written tasks and case studies)
▪ Resubmit part or all of a project, depending on how the error impacts on the total outcome of the
task
▪ Redo a role play after being provided with appropriate feedback about your original performance
▪ Being observed a second (or third time) undertaking any tasks/activities that were not satisfactorily
completed the first time, after being provided with appropriate feedback
When you are required to resubmit, you’ll be given a due date for your resubmission. For example,
you may:
▪ Be given 30 days in which to resubmit incorrect responses to written tasks, projects and so on
▪ Be provided with feedback about your performance in a role play and then being required to
complete the role play again at a future meeting with your assessor
▪ Need to complete workplace-based tasks again during the same workplace visit or additional
workplace observations may need to be scheduled (as applicable)
All re-submissions will be conducted in accordance with the RTO’s policies and procedures.
Assessment Outcomes
Each assessment task will be given an outcome of either Satisfactory (S) or Not Satisfactory (NS).
You must complete all tasks satisfactorily to achieve an overall outcome of Competent (C) for a unit. If one or
more of tasks are assessed as Not Satisfactory, you will be given an outcome for the unit of Not Yet
Competent (NYC).
You will be given a total of three attempts to complete each task and achieve a Satisfactory
outcome. In the case of resubmission, you will be given a date by which you will need to resubmit, and you’ll
be given feedback about what needs to be addressed in your resubmission.
▪ Cheating – seeking to obtain an unfair advantage in the assessment of any piece of work.
▪ Plagiarism – to take and use the ideas and/or expressions and/or wording of another person or
organisation and passing them off as your own by failing to give appropriate acknowledgement. This includes
material from any sources such as staff, students, texts, resources and the internet, whether published or
unpublished.
Where your assessor believes there has been an incident of academic misconduct involving
plagiarism, cheating, and/or collusion, this will be addressed in line with the RTO’s policies and procedures
which may ultimately lead to your withdrawal or you needing to complete the whole unit again.
Assessment Appeals
If you don’t agree with an assessment decision made, you have the right to appeal it. You may need
to lodge your request for an appeal within a certain amount of time from the original decision being made.
You will need to make your appeal in writing and follow your RTO’s process for appeals. Refer to your
Student Handbook for more information about our appeals process.
Reasonable Adjustment
A legislative and regulatory framework underpins and supports the delivery of vocational education and
training across Australia. Under this framework, providers of vocational education and training must take
steps to ensure that students with recognised disabilities have the same learning opportunities and same
opportunities to perform and complete assessments as students without disabilities. Sometimes reasonable
adjustments are made to the learning environment, training delivery, learning resources and/or assessment
tasks to accommodate the particular needs of a student with a disability. An adjustment is reasonable if it can
accommodate the student’s particular needs while also taking into account factors such as:
RTOs are obliged by law to provide reasonable adjustments where required to ensure maximum participation
of students with a disability.
Making reasonable adjustments requires the RTO to balance the need for change with the expense or effort
involved in making this change. If an adjustment requires a disproportionately high expenditure or disruption
it is not likely to be reasonable.1[1]
Please discuss with your assessor if you believe a reasonable adjustment to an assessment task, method or
process needs to be made on the basis of disability.

Dimensions of Competency
To be competent, you must show your ability to perform effectively in a broad capacity. The
dimensions of competency ensure the person being assessed has the skills to perform competently in a
variety of different circumstances. To be competent, you must demonstrate the following:
▪ Task Skills: The skills needed to perform a task at an acceptable level. They include knowledge and
practical skills, and these are usually described in the performance criteria.
▪ Task Management Skills: These are skills in organising and coordinating, which are needed to be
able to work competently while managing a number of tasks or activities within a job.
▪ Contingency Skills: The skills needed to respond and react appropriately to unexpected problems,
changes in routine and breakdowns while also performing competently.
▪ Job Role/Environment Skills: The skills needed to perform as expected in a particular job, position,
location and with others. These skills may be described in the range of variables and underpinning skills and
knowledge.
Principles of Assessment
▪ Validity
‘An assessment decision of the RTO is justified, based on the evidence of performance of the individual
learner.’
Validity requires:
– Assessment against the unit/s of competency and the associated assessment requirements
covers the broad range of skills and knowledge that are essential to competent performance
– Assessment of knowledge and skills is integrated with their practical application
– Assessment to be based on evidence that demonstrates that a learner could demonstrate these
skills and knowledge in other similar situations; and
– Judgement of competence is based on evidence of learner performance that is aligned to the
unit/s of competency and associated assessment requirements.
▪ Reliability
‘Evidence presented for assessment is consistently interpreted and assessment results are comparable
irrespective of the assessor conducting the assessment.’
▪ Flexibility
▪ Fairness
‘The individual learner’s needs are considered in the assessment process.
‘Where appropriate, reasonable adjustments are applied by the RTO to take into account the individual
learner’s needs.
‘The RTO informs the learner about the assessment process and provides the learner with the
opportunity to challenge the result of the assessment and be reassessed if necessary.’
Rules of Evidence
▪ Validity
‘The assessor is assured that the learner has the skills, knowledge and attributes as described in the
module or unit of competency and associated assessment requirements.’
▪ Sufficiency
‘The assessor is assured that the quality, quantity and relevance of the assessment evidence enables a
judgement to be made of a learner’s competency.’
▪ Currency
‘The assessor is assured that the assessment evidence demonstrates current competency. This requires
the assessment evidence to be from the present or the very recent past.’
▪ Authenticity
‘The assessor is assured that the evidence presented for assessment is the learner’s own work.’
▪ Define – This means you should explain the meaning or interpretation of a term or concept in your
own words, including any qualities which are essential to understanding.
▪ Describe – This means you should outline the most noticeable qualities or features of an idea, topic
or the focus of the question.
▪ Discuss – This means you must point out the important issues or features, key points, possible
interpretations, and debate through argument. You should provide reasons for and against.
▪ Evaluate – This means you must judge or calculate the quality, importance, amount, or value of
something. You must provide an in-depth answer with as much detail as possible.
▪ Explain – This means you need to make something clear or show your understanding by describing
it or providing information about it. You will need to make clear how or why something happened or is the
way it is.
▪ Identify – You must recognise something and indicate who or what the required information is. The
length of the answer should be guided by what you are being asked to identify.
▪ List – You must record short pieces of information in a list form – with one or two words, or
sentences on each line.
▪ Outline – You must give a brief description of the main facts or sequence of events about
something. The length of the response should be guided by what you are required to outline. As long as you
include the main facts or points, then that’s enough.
▪ Summarise – You must express the most important facts or points about something in short and
concise form.

QUESTION
Scenario
Jeremy is 12 years old. He has a mild intellectual disability and very bad eczema, which leaves his skin
itchy and raw. He goes to the local school where there is a reputation for bullying. Several children in the
school call Jeremy ‘Dumb scratch’.
Sometimes the bullies take his school bag and tip his lunch onto the ground. ‘You don’t need food anyway
– freaks don’t deserve to eat!’ they yell at him.
Jeremy tells his teacher, but the teacher says, ‘Toughen up and get over it!’
a) How do you think the response to Jeremy’s disabilities will contribute to his quality of life in the future?
Describe three ways.
b) Discuss how the behaviour of the bullies and the teacher are examples of individual discrimination.
What can be done to remove the discrimination?
Scenario
Peter is 12 years old. He has a mild intellectual disability and a speech impediment, which makes it difficult
for people to understand him.
He goes to the local school, which has a reputation for inclusiveness. Peter has a teacher’s aide who
assists him in the classroom. She has been working with him for some time and can understand his
speech easily and she will help Peter get his message across if he is struggling.
The teacher’s aide works closely with Peter’s speech therapist. Peter has been buddied up with a boy of
his own age, Martin. Peter knows he can always go to Martin if he has any problems.
A new child at the school called Peter an insulting name and started to imitate his speech. This was
reported to the principal, who called the new child into his office and explained why his behaviour was
inappropriate. The child apologised to Peter, and they ended up playing football together.
Peter is good at art and sport. The school makes sure there are plenty of opportunities to build on these
skills – not only for Peter but for all the children.
Peter enjoys going to school. Sometimes the work is hard, but the teachers and the teacher’s aide always
spend time to help him understand. He is starting to reap the benefits of speech therapy, and he is
improving his ability to communicate.
c) How do you think the response to Peter’s disabilities will contribute to his quality of life in the future?
Describe three ways.
Scenario
In days gone by, disengagement for people with an intellectual disability was a major problem. Many
people were left spending most of their day doing nothing, just waiting for something to happen – bathing,
feeding, clothing and so on, but engagement in everyday activities was impossible.
Person-centred active support is a support mechanism to provide the right amount of assistance to assist
a person to be engaged and to exercise choice and control over their lives.
d) An important part of person-centred active support is breaking tasks into simple steps.
Imagine you have a client who enjoys cooking. Write down all the steps involved in making a simple
dessert – fruit salad with ice cream. Make sure you include the opportunity for choice in the steps.
e) Choose one of the steps that you wrote above.
Use the ASK–INSTRUCT–PROMPT–SHOW–GUIDE approach to explain how you would do each of
these to support a client with this step.
The first one has been completed as an example for you.
INSTRUCT
PROMPT
SHOW
GUIDE
f) If you found that your client could quite easily do the task after you prompted them, what would you
do next time you were helping them with this task?
QUESTION
Scenario
Henry was raised in a family of atheists.
When Henry was in his 20s, he had a car accident that left him a paraplegic. During his recovery, he met a
Catholic priest who talked to him about spiritual matters.
Henry was very taken by the Catholic religion. He started attending services in the hospital and reading
the bible the priest gave him. His newfound religion gave him the strength to carry on.
After his release from hospital, Henry asks his family if they will take him to church on Sundays. His family
are disgusted that he has found religion and says he must forget all that religious rubbish. There is no way
they will take him to church, and if the priest comes to visit the door, it will be shut in his face.
Henry is depressed. He cannot get to church without his family’s support.
Is this an invasion of Henry’s human rights? Explain your answer, making sure you refer to the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
QUESTION
Scenario
Massimo works with people with intellectual disabilities. Today he has taken a group of five adolescents to
the park for an outing. They have skateboards and he takes them to the skate park, which he does each
week. They always enjoy their outing and, because they are good friends, there is never any trouble.
Today a pretty young woman is at the skate park with her little brother. She is around Massimo’s age.
She and Massimo start talking, and they enjoy each other’s company. Massimo asks her for her number
when her brother is ready to go home. She tells him she has a pen in the car.
Massimo checks on his clients and because they are playing nicely, he leaves them to go to the car park.
The car park is not in the direct line of sight of the skate park. Massimo gets the phone number, and they
chat for another 15 minutes.
All of sudden Massimo hears yelling from the skate park. He runs back to find one of his clients, Mike, has
been pushed off his skateboard by a bully. Apparently, the bully had laughed at them all. Mike had gotten
angry at him, so the bully pushed him off his board.
Mike has hit his head on the concrete, and he has a nasty gash, which is pouring blood.
Massimo feels bad as he could have dealt with the bully if he had been there.
QUESTION
Scenario
Gary has ADHD. He is disruptive, noisy, fidgety and frustrated and finds it very difficult to stay on task.
Gary’s mother is going crazy. She feels like she is yelling at him all the time to stop, be quiet, sit still or get
on with his homework.
a) What advice would you give to Gary’s mother to use positive reinforcement techniques to assist Gary in
managing his behaviour? Provide three examples to assist Gary’s mother.

REQUIREMENTS ◻ Your answers to all the questions for each case study.
For this task, begin by reading the case studies and then provide detailed answers
to the questions that follow.
TASK You must answer all questions and their parts correctly to achieve a Satisfactory
INSTRUCTIONS outcome for this task.
CASE STUDY 1
Jemma
Jemma has cerebral palsy. She lives with her sister, Eliza. Eliza has brought Jemma in to be assessed for
a communication aid to assist with understanding Jemma’s speech, which has deteriorated significantly.
Eliza has no trouble understanding Jemma as she is used to how she communicates. Eliza finds now that
she must translate for Jemma when communicating with others. This has a significant effect on Jemma’s
independence.
Apart from her speech, Jemma is quite independent. She uses her wheelchair to get to the local shops
where she likes to go each day. A personal support worker helps her with showering and dressing each
morning.
You will be assisting with this assessment.
QUESTION 1.1
There are several different communication aids available. How can the assessment be done so that Jemma
and Eliza have a part in the decision-making process and an aid is chosen that best suits Jemma’s needs?
QUESTION 1.2
Jemma is tech-savvy, so she decides to go for one of the more complicated speech-generating devices. This
will be very effective when she needs to communicate with people in the community.
Eliza is a bit worried as she is not tech-savvy, and it all looks too complicated for her to understand.
What support will need to be given to both Jemma and Eliza to get used to using this technology?
QUESTION 1.3

CASE STUDY 2
Hamilton
Hamilton was involved in a car accident. He severely damaged his legs and is now undergoing
rehabilitation to learn how to walk again. It has been frustrating for Hamilton; however, he has been
making slow progress.
Today he is visibly distressed. He confides that his girlfriend has walked out on him, saying ‘I don’t want to
live with a cripple’. Hamilton doesn’t think he will continue with the rehab as he doesn’t seem to get
anywhere. He may as well just stay in his wheelchair.
You are concerned about Hamilton’s ability to look after himself now that his girlfriend has left.
QUESTION 2.1
You would like to report Hamilton’s change in circumstances to your supervisor, but Hamilton has spoken to
you in confidence. What should you do? List the relevant legal and human rights frameworks (your state/
territory and federal) that apply.
QUESTION 2.2
What could be done to support Hamilton through this time?
QUESTION 2.3
According to the G4 Record Keeping Policy and Procedure (available via the Banksia Care website), what
are five things you need to do to ensure the support plan for Hamilton is appropriately recorded and stored?
QUESTION 2.4
What impact do you think Hamilton’s girlfriend’s comments may have on his quality of life?
QUESTION 2.5
Your service suggests that Hamilton receive home and community care services to assist him with
showering, dressing, and cleaning. Hamilton says he is sick of people meddling in his life and wants to be left
alone. Your supervisor thinks there is a high risk of living alone without receiving care services.
What rights does Hamilton have to refuse services?
QUESTION 2.6
Working with clients that are going through their own physical and mental health issues can be quite
stressful, particularly over the longer term. Name two self-care strategies you could practise to ensure you
too don’t become overwhelmed or burnt out at work.
CASE STUDY 3
Herriot
You are working in a service that is run in conjunction with a youth drop-in program. Herriot is a 14-year-
old girl who has been attending the program for some time. Herriot has an intellectual disability and a
reputation for dishonesty, including telling lies and stealing from others.
Herriot does not have good social skills. She is also not skilled in managing her money.
Despite Herriot’s tendency to steal, she will always admit to doing so if asked.
Today you are working with Herriot. You will take her to the local shopping centre to buy some clothes.
She has $150 in her bank account. This is her money to spend as she wishes, but she needs to keep $50
for her phone bill.
QUESTION 3.1
While you are out at the shops, what opportunities for incidental learning may exist? List at least four.
QUESTION 3.2
Herriot says she wants to take $100 from the ATM. You provide prompts to help her to press the correct
keys. She is now ready to go shopping.
Herriot sees a jumper that she wants. It is bright pink and costs $60. There are other jumpers on special for
$20 – not quite the same colour but still a pretty pink. The $60 jumper will use up most of her money.
How would you support Herriot in making her own decision about this purchase?
QUESTION 3.3
After thinking carefully about it, Herriot decides on the $60 jumper. There is also a skirt that she wants for
$50. She decides that she will withdraw all her money and, instead of buying $50 credit for her phone, she
will just buy $20 worth of credit.
You go back to the ATM. Last time you were at the ATM, you verbally prompted Herriot step-by-step on how
to withdraw money. She seemed to grasp the concept. What support will you give her this time?

Hamilton is a 32-year-old male who was involved in a car accident 10 months ago. He severely damaged
his legs and is undergoing rehabilitation to walk again. He has improved enough to move from a
wheelchair to a walking frame. However, the physiotherapist and doctor do not feel he is progressing as
fast as he should. During his last session with Dr Ahmandi, he admitted that the walking frame slows down
his daily routine so he hasn’t been using it as much as he should.
Dr Ahmandi has created an Individual Action Plan to help Hamilton develop the skills to use his
walking frame more effectively so that it doesn’t slow him down as much. You have been assigned
to help him develop this skill. To do this, you need to have a planning session with Hamilton to
determine the best way to improve his skill with the walking frame.
During the role play, your assessor will be looking to see that you demonstrate the following:
▪ identify and planned for skills development to include them in the Individual Support Plan
▪ identify resources that will utilise the client’s strengths and help them achieve their goal
▪ demonstrate regard for the client’s rights and dignity when choosing activities and strategies

PART B You are not required to submit anything for this part.
Scenario
Trudy is a 37-year-old female with Motor Neuron Disease. She has tremors and a loss of sensation in her
hands and legs. The tremors can cause large, sudden movements. She uses a wheelchair. She has
moderate dysphagia but is still able to chew and swallow but eats very slowly. Trudy is expected to lose
the ability to swallow within the next few years. She also suffers from occasional bouts of depression due
to the rapid onset of her disease.
Trudy is very close to her mother, Fiona, who is her caregiver. Trudy loves hip-hop music and still goes
clubbing occasionally with her mother on a Saturday night. She was a DJ prior to her diagnosis and loved
parties and socialising. She has a great memory, remembering the names of all the staff and people she
sees around the facility when she visits for appointments.
When Trudy met with Dr Price, she expressed a desire to return to DJ work. One of the actions recorded
in her Individual Action Plan was to support Trudy in researching what options might be available to help
her do this. Since then, Trudy discovered an assistive device called the Tremelo that she trialled and
found worked for her. You have been assigned to help her develop the skill of using the Tremelo and
determine if any further modifications will be required. You will need to document the plan in the Individual
Support Plan (ISP) template accessed from the Banksia Care website.
During the role play, your assessor will be looking to see that you demonstrate the following:
▪ identify the client's personal strengths to include them in the Individual Support Plan (ISP)
▪ identify and plan for skills development to include them in the ISP
▪ identify resources that will utilise the client’s strengths and help them achieve their goal
▪ demonstrate regard for the client’s rights and dignity when choosing activities and strategies
▪ demonstrate you understood what consent is and gain it from the client when creating the ISP
