About This Qualification
The PUA51019 Diploma of Public Safety (Community Safety) is designed for emergency service and public safety personnel who coordinate community safety programs. Community safety programs seek to build and enhance community resilience, health and wellbeing as it relates to feeling protected from threats, harm, risks or injury. The role of community safety personnel is to build community safety partnerships, improve individual and community resilience, actively partner and listen to communities, understand community needs and deliver outcomes for at risk communities. This may include implementing community safety advertising, creating awareness campaigns and developing relationships with a diverse range of community members. This qualification includes the units of competency required by community safety personnel to perform a range of activities such as coordinating programs and campaigns that improve community resilience whilst engaging with a broad range of community members and working closely with local governments and other agencies. It typically involves discretion in the coordination of the development and delivery of community safety programs. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication.

Could RPL Be Right for You?
Experience can be evidence.
RPL is the process that helps you demonstrate it.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a formal assessment process that evaluates the skills, knowledge, and experience you've gained through your career to determine whether you meet the requirements of a nationally recognised qualification. It isn't a shortcut — it applies the same assessment standards as any other pathway.
RPL typically involves:
A review of your work experience against the qualification requirements
Compilation of an evidence portfolio demonstrating your competency
Assessment by a qualified assessor from a Registered Training Organisation
If gaps are identified, targeted training to build on your existing expertise
ℹ️ Important Pathway Advice
RPL isn't the right pathway for everyone. If you don't have substantial, relevant, and current industry experience, a traditional study pathway may serve you better.
Our approach:
“We'd rather guide you to the right pathway than enrol you in the wrong one.”
