Welcome to the area specific capablity resources section. Here, you’ll find helpful tools, guidance, and materials designed to support the development, delivery, and understanding of area-specific capability frameworks. These resources are created to help education providers, employers, and practitioners apply the frameworks effectively in real-world settings.
Whether you’re designing a learning programme, supporting workforce development, or exploring how to meet advanced practice needs in a specific area, these resources will guide you through each step. They reflect the Centre’s standards and expectations, ensuring consistency, quality, and relevance across all endorsed frameworks.
