Training & Development Policy
A Training & Development policy that demonstrates your commitment to capability, compliance and competency in the workplace.
Documented training is one of the strongest pieces of evidence that an Australian employer has met its obligations on competency, supervision and due diligence - particularly for safety-critical and licensed work.
This free template is written for Australian employers and covers compliance training, role-based training and personal development.
What this template covers
- Onboarding and induction expectations.
- Compliance training (WHS, Code of Conduct, Bullying & Harassment, privacy).
- Role-specific competency and licence currency.
- Development conversations with managers.
- Study assistance, study leave and training-cost repayment.
- Record-keeping and audit-readiness.
Why every Australian business needs one
Most industry regulators and many tender pre-qualification systems require documented training systems. A policy that ties together your compliance, competency and capability frameworks is the simplest way to demonstrate that.
