REGIONAL REPORT | AUSTRALIA / NEW ZEALAND
At the time of its formation, Justin Boehm,
Leea regional manager – Australia and New Zealand, described its setting up as “a great opportunity for us to shape the model of service delivery to our members here”. His colleague Andy Campbell, who
is a fellow Regional Council member alongside his day job at Bunzl, explains why it was important “for the Australian/ New Zealand region to have its own voice” within the association. “We do a lot of similar things in industry [compared with the UK, for example], but there’s a bit of stuff that’s different; the way we do things – Australian standards, training and developing,” he says. To help meet those different
requirements, the council set in motion the creation of a nationally accredited
training package that at the time of going to press was awaiting approval by the Australian Skills Quality Authority, the national regulator for Australia’s vocational education and training sector. Leea’s training focuses on the inspection
and examination of role-specific lifting equipment, and the accreditation will include Leaa’s Foundation, Lifting Equipment General and Lifting Machines Manual courses, plus, Boehm says, an additional course covering “some of those nuances around the extra testing and some of the standards that we have [in Australia] that are slightly different”. He hopes to hear by “the end of
November” whether the course – developed in partnership with Artibus Innovation, “a highly regarded skills services
R Leea’s Justin Boehm
provider” – has been given the go-ahead. “We’re sort of touching wood at the moment it will all go through,” he says.
