Policy 9 — Provide appropriate training

Policy 9 – Provide appropriate training and resources to all relevant AMSA staff, contractors and licencees.

The management of a heritage place is outlined within the statutory requirements of the EPBC Act and EPBC Regulations. In order to ensure best practice management of AMSA-operated

lighthouses, all staff, contractors and licencees are required to have access to the appropriate training and resources in order to provide best practice conservation of the site.

Implementation strategy:

• Provide staff, contractors and licencees access to up-to-date versions of the AMSA heritage strategy, heritage management plans and fabric registers.

• AMSA representatives will attend commonwealth-run heritage workshops, programs and conferences for up-to-date information on statutory requirements and best practice management of sites of national and state heritage significance.

• All current and incoming tour guides operating within AMSA lighthouses will be required to take the lighthouse tour guide safety induction e-learning module once every two years to stay informed on visitor safety and lighthouse duty- of-care and the site’s heritage values.

• All relevant staff will undertake a relevant induction to ensure comprehension of the Commonwealth heritage and EPBC Act (1999) statutory requirements.

• Contractors engaged with heritage sites will undertake a relevant induction to ensure comprehension of the Commonwealth heritage and EPBC Act (1999) statutory requirements.
