The HLTPAT010 Collect Specimens for Drugs of Abuse Testing is the current qualification that confirms you meet Australian Standards as an accredited collector. \nThis drug and alcohol testing course is available through Adept Training (RTO 90991) in two formats: face-to-face at our Harris Park campus in Sydney\, or online via Teams with a practical assessment. There’s also an on-site option for organisations wanting to train a team at their own location. \nYou’ll leave with a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment and the skills to collect urine\, oral fluid\, and breath specimens in accordance with Australian Standards and all relevant Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation. \nAbout the HLTPAT010 Collect Specimens for Drugs of Abuse Testing Superseding HLTPAT005\nHLTPAT010 is the current\, nationally recognised unit of competency for workplace drug and alcohol specimen collection in Australia. It superseded HLTPAT005 Collect Specimens for Drugs of Abuse Testing in December 2025\, as part of a broader update to the Health Training Package. \nIf you’ve been searching for an HLTPAT005 course\, you’re in the right place. HLTPAT010 is its direct replacement\, covering the same core purpose – training collectors to work compliantly to Australian Standards – with updated performance criteria and assessment conditions that better reflect modern workplace testing environments\, including mobile testing programs and a wider range of collection settings. \nFor individuals who already hold a valid HLTPAT005 Statement of Attainment\, whether you need to update to HLTPAT010 depends on your employer\, site access requirements\, or client contracts. Many organisations are now specifying HLTPAT010 as the required standard. If you’re unsure\, contact us\, and we can help you work out what applies to your situation. \nWhat is HLTPAT010\, and Why Do You Need It?\nUnder Australian workplace testing standards\, any person collecting specimens for drugs of abuse testing must be a trained\, deemed-competent collector. This isn’t optional. It’s built into the Australian Standards that govern workplace testing programs\, specifically AS/NZS 4308 for urine collection and AS/NZS 4760:2019 for oral fluid collection. \nWithout this qualification\, your testing program is exposed. Test results can be challenged\, chain-of-custody documentation may be deficient\, and your organisation may not be able to defend a positive result or a refusal through any internal or legal process. This drug and alcohol training removes that risk by ensuring collectors are qualified\, assessed\, and accountable. \nThe unit applies to individuals working in collection centres\, hospitals\, other healthcare environments\, and workplaces where drug abuse testing is conducted. It’s relevant whether you’re an individual collector looking to extend your skills or an organisation building an internal testing capability. \nWhat This Drug and Alcohol Testing Course Covers\nUrine Specimen Collection (AS/NZS 4308:2008 / AS/NZS 4308:2023)\nYou’ll learn the correct procedures for urine specimen collection\, including donor preparation\, chain of custody documentation\, temperature verification\, split specimen handling\, and tamper detection. \nCollection must follow Australian Standard AS/NZS 4308 exactly – any deviation can compromise the legal defensibility of a result. \nOral Fluid Collection (AS/NZS 4760:2019)\nOral fluid (saliva) testing has become standard practice across many industries. This component covers correct collection technique\, device operation\, result interpretation\, and documentation requirements under AS/NZS 4760:2019 – the current Australian Standard for oral fluid drug testing. \nBreath Alcohol Testing\nYou’ll be trained in breathalyser operation\, including pre-test requirements\, correct technique\, interpreting readings\, and documenting results in a way that supports any subsequent workplace action. \nDocumentation\, Chain of Custody & Legal Obligations\nChain of custody is what makes a test result defensible. You’ll cover the full documentation process\, from confirming collection requirements and verifying donor identity through to completing chain-of-custody forms and managing specimens for laboratory dispatch. \nThe legal obligations of collectors under Commonwealth and State/Territory legislation are fully covered. \nSpecial Circumstances: Refusals\, Shy Bladder\, Disputes\nReal-world testing doesn’t always go to plan. This component prepares you for the situations that catch collectors off guard: what to do when a donor refuses to provide a specimen\, how to manage a shy bladder protocol\, and the correct process when a donor disputes a result or the collection procedure. \nHandling and documenting these situations correctly is as important as the collection itself. \nWho Should Do This Course?\nIndividuals – Extend Your Collection Skill Set\nThis drug and alcohol training suits anyone looking to add workplace D&A testing to their professional capabilities: \n\nPathology collectors and phlebotomists adding to their scope\nOccupational health nurses and workplace health practitioners\nSafety officers and HSE advisors working in regulated industries\nHR professionals managing workplace testing programs\nHealthcare workers in roles that include specimen collection\n\nHLTPAT010 can be completed as a standalone unit of competency. You don’t need to be enrolled in a full Certificate III to undertake this course. \nOrganisations – Train Your Internal Collectors\nMany businesses conducting drug and alcohol testing under a workplace management plan need internal collectors who are formally qualified. This workplace drug and alcohol testing course is designed for organisations in industries where regular or random testing is required by legislation\, client contracts\, or site access requirements. \nAdept Training can come to your location to deliver the course for groups of six or more. \nIndustries Where This Qualification Is Required\nWorkplace drug and alcohol testing is mandatory or standard practice across a range of high-risk industries in Australia: \n\nMining and resources – site access requirements for most major operators and contractors\nConstruction – increasingly required under principal contractor WHS management plans\nTransport and logistics – heavy vehicle operators and supply chain roles\nHealthcare – collection centres\, hospitals\, and pathology providers\nManufacturing – particularly chemical\, pharmaceutical\, and food production sites\nOil and gas – offshore and onshore operations\n\nIf your industry has an obligation to maintain a drug-managed workplace\, your collectors need this qualification. \nTraining Delivery Options\nFace-to-Face at Harris Park\, Sydney\nOur drug and alcohol testing course near you runs at our Harris Park training rooms in Western Sydney – a 3-minute walk from Harris Park Station. Sessions run from 9:00am to 2:30pm in a single day\, combining theory and practical assessment. \nUpcoming face-to-face dates: \n\n\n\nDate\nSession Time\n\n\nMonday 11th May\n9:00am – 2:30pm\n\n\nFriday 5th June\n9:00am – 2:30pm\n\n\n\nOnline with Teams Assessment\nThe drug and alcohol testing course online option lets you complete the theory component remotely in your own time\, with trainer support throughout.

HLTPAT010 is the current nationally recognised unit for workplace drug and alcohol specimen collection.  \nIf you completed HLTPAT005 prior to the transition\, your Statement of Attainment remains valid\, but whether you need to update depends on your employer\, client contracts\, or site requirements. \n \n \n \n \n \n What Australian Standards does HLTPAT010 cover?\n The drug and alcohol testing course covers AS/NZS 4308:2008 and AS/NZS 4308:2023 for urine specimen collection\, AS/NZS 4760:2019 for oral fluid (saliva) collection\, and breath alcohol testing procedures. These are the Standards referenced in most workplace drug and alcohol management programs across Australia. \n \n \n \n \n \n How long does the HLTPAT010 course take?\n The face-to-face course is delivered in a single day\, typically 9:00am to 2:30pm. The drug and alcohol testing course online option is self-paced for theory\, with a practical observation assessment via Teams or in-person – timing is flexible around your schedule. \n \n \n \n \n \n Do I need HLTPAT010 to conduct workplace drug testing?\n Under Australian Standards\, anyone collecting urine or oral fluid specimens as part of a workplace drug testing program must be trained and deemed competent as a collector. HLTPAT010 is the current recognised unit that demonstrates that competency. Check your organisation’s drug and alcohol management plan or site requirements for specifics. \n \n \n \n \n \n Can Adept Training come to our site to deliver HLTPAT010?\n Yes. For groups of six or more\, we offer our workplace drug and alcohol testing course on-site at your location at $630.00 per participant. Get in touch to discuss your requirements and schedule a date. \n \n \n \n \n \n What's the difference between urine and oral fluid drug testing?\n Urine testing detects recent drug use over a longer detection window – typically 1 to 7 days\, depending on the substance. Oral fluid (saliva) testing detects more recent use\, typically within 24 to 48 hours\, making it better suited to post-incident or for-cause testing where recent impairment is the concern. Both collection methods are covered in this drug and alcohol training. \n \n \n \n \n \n Is HLTPAT010 recognised in all Australian states?\n Yes. As a nationally accredited unit of competency on the national training register\, HLTPAT010 is recognised across all Australian states and territories. \n \n \n \n \n \n How often do I need to renew my HLTPAT010?\n There is no legislated expiry period for the Statement of Attainment itself. However\, some industries\, worksites\, or client contracts specify a renewal period (commonly every two to three years) to ensure collectors stay current with any updates to standards or procedures. Check your workplace drug and alcohol management plan for specifics. \n \n \n \n \n \n Can I do HLTPAT010 as a standalone course\, or do I need the full Cert III?\n HLTPAT010 is a standalone unit of competency. You do not need to be enrolled in a Certificate III in Pathology or any other full qualification to complete this course. You’ll receive a Statement of Attainment for this unit on completion. It can also be counted toward a full qualification if you decide to enrol in one later.

During the course you will learn how to apply infection control practices\, identify and respond to clinical risks and perform venous blood collections. \nTo receive a statement of attainment students must successfully complete all assessment requirements for all three units of competency. In addition they must demonstrate the workplace assessment requirements for the unit: HLTPAT002 Perform venous blood collections\, which includes 35 hours of pathology work. Work placement can be arranged by the college if students are not working in a setting where they are able to perform blood collections. \nIs this course face to face or distance?\nThis  is blended delivery of online and  face-to-face sessions. The practical clinical skills required for pathology collection are delivered through face to face\, hands on training in the college where a highly skilled trainer/assessor will train and assess your knowledge and skills both in the classroom and in the workplace. \nPrior to workplace observation assessment there is a requirement to complete a minimum of 20 successful venepunctures. To facilitate this\, you will be required to practice collections on each other in class.

That’s where a pathology assistant works. It’s a role that’s in steady demand\, genuinely skilled\, and often flying under the radar as a career option. \nThe HLT37415 Certificate III in Pathology Assistance is your entry point into laboratory-based pathology work. It’s a nationally recognised qualification that trains you to receive\, process\, and prepare specimens for analysis – the precision work that keeps diagnostic laboratories running. If you’re drawn to the science and procedural side of healthcare\, this pathology assistant course is worth a close look. \nDelivered by Adept Training (RTO 90991) at our Harris Park campus\, the course combines face-to-face classroom and laboratory sessions with flexible self-paced online theory. You have up to 12 months to complete it. \nUnderstanding the Difference Between Pathology Assistance & Pathology Collection\nThese two qualifications are frequently confused\, so it’s worth being clear. \nThe HLT37525 Certificate III in Pathology trains you to collect specimens from patients\, venepuncture\, swabs\, breath tests\, in clinics\, hospitals\, and community settings. It’s a patient-facing\, clinical role. \nThe HLT37415 Certificate III in Pathology Assistance is the lab-side qualification. Once specimens arrive at the laboratory\, a pathology assistant takes over: receiving\, sorting\, processing\, and preparing samples so they’re ready for analysis. The work is procedural\, precise\, and based inside the lab rather than out with patients. \nBoth are valuable\, in-demand career paths. Which one fits you comes down to where you want to be working day-to-day. \nWhat You’ll Learn in This Pathology Assistant Course\nThis HLT37415 Cert III in Pathology Assistance is built around the practical skills you’ll actually use in a laboratory environment. By the time you complete your studies\, you’ll be able to: \n\nReceive\, sort\, and triage incoming specimens\nPerform centrifugation and specimen processing and separation\nPrepare culture media and simple solutions\nPerform basic laboratory tests under supervision\nLabel\, store\, and dispatch samples accurately\nFollow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) in a lab setting\nHandle dangerous goods\, biohazardous materials\, and sharps safely\nApply infection control and Work Health and Safety (WHS) standards specific to a laboratory environment\nMaintain quality principles across all lab procedures\nOperate common laboratory instruments under guidance\nWork effectively as part of a healthcare team\n\nAccuracy is the foundation of this role. A mislabelled sample or a processing error can affect clinical decisions downstream. Our trainers help build those habits from the first session. \nThe Lab Environment: What to Expect\nThis is a hands-on pathology assistant course. Your practical learning takes place in a laboratory setting\, not just in a classroom. You’ll work with real laboratory equipment\, centrifuges\, specimen processing instruments\, culture media\, and follow the same SOPs you’d encounter on the job. \nA typical training day involves classroom time and practical work. You’ll handle specimens\, operate instruments under supervision\, and build the procedural habits that employers expect from someone stepping into a lab assistant role. The lab time is what turns the theory into something you can actually do. \nCareer Outcomes: Where a Certificate III in Pathology Assistance Takes You\nThe HLT37415 Certificate III in Pathology Assistance opens the door to roles including: \n\nPathology Laboratory Assistant\nSpecimen Reception Officer\nLaboratory Aide\nLaboratory Attendant\nBiomedical Laboratory Assistant\nInstrument Operator\nSpecimen Collection Officer\n\nYou’ll find these roles across public and private hospital laboratories\, major diagnostic providers (including Australian Clinical Labs\, Healius\, and Dorevitch Pathology)\, labs involving soil\, water\, and food testing\, as well as research settings. \nFurther study pathway after your pathology assistant course: Graduates looking to advance their career can progress into the MSL50122 Diploma of Laboratory Technology (Pathology)\, which broadens their scope into more technical laboratory functions and opens higher-level roles. \nHow the Course is Delivered\nThe HLT37415 Certificate III in Pathology Assistance uses a blended delivery model: \n\nFace-to-face sessions in the classroom at our Harris Park campus\nPractical skills sessions at local laboratories\nSelf-paced online theory – complete in your own time with a computer and internet access\nStudents have up to 12 months to complete the full qualification\n\nCurrent intake dates for our pathology assistant course: \n\n\n\nStart Date\nFace-to-Face Sessions\n\n\nThursday 19 February 2026\nEvery Thursday & Friday\, 9:30am – 3:00pm\n\n\n\nOur trainers bring genuine industry experience into every session.

Placing a cannula correctly the first time\, in patients across a range of ages and vein conditions\, takes practice\, precision\, and training. \nThe HLTHPS009 Perform Peripheral Intravenous Cannulation course at Adept Training (RTO 90991) is a nationally recognised unit of competency that gives healthcare workers the skills and confidence to perform IV cannulation safely and competently. It’s designed for practitioners who need cannulation as part of their clinical role and want formal\, assessed training to support it. \nThis IV cannulation course is delivered face-to-face at our Harris Park campus in Sydney\, with online theory completed beforehand. On-site delivery is also available for organisations training five or more staff. \nWhat is Peripheral IV Cannulation?\nPeripheral intravenous cannulation is the insertion of a short plastic cannula into a peripheral vein (most commonly in the arm or hand) to provide access for fluid administration\, medication delivery\, or blood sampling. It’s a procedure performed across hospitals\, day procedure units\, GP practices\, and a range of specialist clinical settings. \nIt’s a high-stakes skill. An incorrectly placed cannula can cause patient discomfort\, tissue damage\, infiltration\, or infection. Getting the technique right requires hands-on training under experienced clinical supervision. \nThis cannulation training course is designed for healthcare workers who are required to perform cannulation as part of their role\, or who want to add the competency to their existing clinical skill set. \nWho This Course is For\nThis cannulation course in Sydney is suited to: \n\nRegistered and enrolled nurses looking to add or formalise cannulation competency\nPathology collectors and phlebotomists who hold HLTPAT002 (or equivalent venepuncture competency) and want to extend their scope\nMedical practice assistants and clinical support officers whose role includes or will include IV access\nParamedics and other healthcare workers requiring cannulation as part of their scope of practice\nAllied health professionals working in procedural or clinical support environments\n\nImportant Note: \nThis IV cannulation course requires existing knowledge and skills in blood collection. If you hold HLTPAT002 Perform Venous Blood Collections\, or have equivalent demonstrated competency in venepuncture\, you meet the prerequisite. \nIf you’re not yet qualified in venepuncture\, we’d recommend completing that training first. \nWhat the Cannulation Course Covers\nThis cannulation course covers the full scope of peripheral IV cannulation\, including: \n\nAnatomy and physiology relevant to peripheral venous access\, including vein selection\, vessel assessment\, and patient factors\nInfection control procedures specific to cannulation\, such as hand hygiene\, site preparation\, and aseptic technique\nEquipment selection: cannula gauges\, extension sets\, dressings\, and securement devices\nPatient preparation and communication\, explaining the procedure\, gaining consent\, managing anxiety\nCorrect cannulation technique: insertion angle\, bevel orientation\, advancement\, and securing the device\nRecognising and managing complications\, such as failed insertion\, haematoma\, infiltration\, phlebitis\nDocumentation and clinical record requirements\nPost-procedure care and cannula management\nRemoval of peripheral IV cannulas\n\nYou’ll begin with online theory completed in your own time\, followed by two face-to-face practical sessions. You’ll work under direct supervision\, practising techniques\, and be assessed against the unit’s competency requirements. \nDelivery and Course Structure\nThis cannulation course in Sydney uses a blended structure: \n\nOnline theory: Completed prior to attending your face-to-face sessions\, at your own pace\nTwo face-to-face practical sessions at our Harris Park campus\, running from 9:00am to 4:00pm each day\n\nCannulation is a skill that benefits from repetition\, feedback\, and time to consolidate between sessions\, making these practical sessions invaluable. You’ll practise on training arms and progress to supervised clinical demonstration as you build technique and confidence. \nUpcoming course dates: \n\n\n\nFace-to-Face Sessions\nTimes\n\n\nSunday 24th and 31st May 2026\n9:00am – 4:00pm\n\n\n\nFor organisations needing cannulation training for five or more staff\, Adept Training can deliver the course on-site at your location. \nWhy Ongoing Practice is Critical\nCannulation is a clinical skill that requires consistent practice to maintain.

An ageing population\, the ongoing expansion of the NDIS\, and mandatory qualification requirements introduced following the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety have all contributed to a workforce shortage that shows no signs of easing. \nFor people looking for a career that’s stable\, meaningful\, and actively hiring\, the CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support is the nationally recognised qualification that gets you there. It trains you to provide person-centred care to people who need support due to age or disability\, across residential\, community\, and in-home settings. You can specialise in either Ageing or Disability\, or study units from both. \nDelivered by Adept Training (RTO 90991) through a blended model of virtual online classrooms and face-to-face workshops in Harris Park\, the CHC33021 Cert III in Individual Support in Sydney is designed to work around your life while making sure you’re genuinely prepared for the job. \nUnderstanding the Two Specialisations\nThe CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support has 15 units in total: 9 core units that apply across both sectors\, plus 6 elective units that reflect your chosen specialisation – 3 from the Ageing stream and 3 from the Disability stream. \nThe 9 core units provide the foundation every support worker needs\, regardless of who they’re supporting: person-centred care principles\, legal and ethical frameworks\, infection control\, communication in health and community services\, safe work practices\, and supporting independence and wellbeing. \nYour electives then focus your training: \n\nAgeing Specialisation covers: supporting older people in residential settings\, a palliative approach to care\, dementia care\, and supporting people with chronic health conditions.\nDisability Specialisation covers: community participation\, NDIS plan implementation\, supporting independent living\, empowerment and strengths-based approaches\, and working with people with physical\, intellectual\, or psychosocial disabilities.\n\nAdept Training offers both streams. If you’re not yet sure which direction suits you\, that’s a conversation worth having with our team before you enrol. \nWhat a Support Worker Actually Does\nAged Care\nIn an aged care role\, your day involves direct\, personal support for older people. That means: \n\nAssisting with personal care (showering\, dressing\, grooming\, and oral hygiene)\nPreparing meals and supporting nutrition and hydration\nProviding medication reminders under care plan guidelines\nHelping with mobility\, transfers\, and fall prevention\nProviding social support and companionship\nSupporting people living with dementia with appropriate communication and routines\nAssisting with palliative care under supervision\nCommunicating with families\, clinical staff\, and other members of the care team\n\nIt’s physically and emotionally present work. The people you support are often at their most vulnerable\, and the difference a skilled\, caring support worker makes is real and immediate. \nDisability Support\nIn a disability support role\, the focus shifts toward enabling participation and independence. Day-to-day work includes: \n\nSupporting people to participate in the community and pursue personal goals\nImplementing NDIS support plans with a strengths-based approach\nAssisting with communication – including augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)\nSupporting people in supported independent living (SIL) environments\nProviding personal care\, transport\, and daily living support\nBuilding skills and confidence through consistent\, person-led routines\nWorking with people with physical\, intellectual\, and psychosocial disabilities across a range of settings\n\nBoth roles require adaptability\, patience\, and genuine commitment to the people you’re working with. The training is designed to build it all. \nWhat You’ll Learn – Core Units\nThe 9 core units cover the skills every support worker needs\, regardless of specialisation: \n\nCHCCCS031 – Provide individualised support\nCHCCCS040 – Support independence and wellbeing\nCHCCOM005 – Communicate and work in health or community services\nCHCDIV001 – Work with diverse people\nCHCLEG001 – Work legally and ethically\nHLTINF006 – Apply basic principles of infection prevention and control\nHLTWHS002 – Follow safe work practices for direct client care\nCHCAGE013 – Work effectively in aged care (Ageing stream) or equivalent Disability unit\nCHCDIS020 – Work effectively in disability support (Disability stream)\n\nView the full unit list here. \nSetting Expectations for Work Placement\nThe CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support (for disability and aged care streams) requires 120 hours of work placement. This is a practical requirement set by the qualification itself – it’s how you demonstrate your skills in a real care environment. \nAdept Training coordinates student placements wherever possible. We’ve built relationships with quality aged care and disability providers\, and our goal is to make the placement process as smooth as possible. You’re also welcome to arrange your own placement if you already have a connection to a suitable employer. \nPre-placement requirements you’ll need to arrange: \n\nNational Police Check\nWorking with Children Check (WWCC)\nNDIS Worker Screening Check (required for disability placements with registered NDIS providers)\nUp-to-date immunisations\n\nIt’s worth starting the police check and WWCC early in the course\, as they can take time to process\, and you’ll need them before placement begins. Our team will guide you through what’s required and when. \nWhy Now Is a Good Time to Enter the Care Sector\nAged care and disability support are among the most stable employment sectors in Australia precisely because demand is driven by demographics rather than economic cycles. People age regardless of what the market does. NDIS participants don’t disappear in a downturn. \nSince July 2023\, aged care workers have received significant pay increases under the Fair Work Commission’s sector-wide decision\, with further staged increases through 2025. Holding a Certificate III or above now directly affects which pay grade you’re classified under – meaning this qualification isn’t just about getting a job\, it’s about getting paid properly once you’re in one. \nFor disability support workers\, the NDIS continues to expand year on year\, and workers with formal qualifications are increasingly preferred by registered NDIS providers. Whether you’re drawn to ageing\, disability\, or both\, the CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support puts you in a strong position from day one. \nHow is the CHC33021 Cert III Individual Support Course in Sydney Delivered?\nThis CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support (blended online) is structured across 25 weeks and uses a delivery model designed to give you genuine support throughout: \n\nVirtual online classrooms – live\, interactive sessions with your trainer (not just pre-recorded videos)\nFace-to-face workshops at our Harris Park campus\, Western Sydney\nHome study of approximately 15–20 hours per week\nTrainer-supported assessments – all assessments (other than workplace observations) are completed during virtual sessions or workshops\, with your trainer present\n\nOur trainers are here to support you through your course; you’re not expected to complete it alone.
