Legal and ethical content is interleaved, because in practice they belong together, with improving practice as the capstone.
What "legal" and "ethical" mean, how they relate, where the rules come from across the four levels, and the human-rights foundation beneath them.
Your legal and ethical rights and responsibilities, work-role and practitioner/client boundaries, and balancing duty of care with dignity of risk.
Privacy, confidentiality and disclosure; records; WHS; discrimination; informed consent; mandatory reporting; and the specific legislation for an area of work.
Codes of conduct and practice, non-judgemental practice, recognising dilemmas, and a structured six-step process for working them through.
Spotting and reporting legal breaches and unethical conduct, handling conflicts of interest, complaints management, and knowing who to escalate to.
Spotting where practice could be better, sharing feedback well, and contributing to how policies are developed and reviewed.
The full stack, not just content. Every file is built and has passed Stage 07 QA.

Assessment tasks are set in the Legal & Compliance function of Ridgeline Group. Learners take the role of a Compliance Support Officer working through three real legal and ethical situations, then identify improvements to work practices. The full knowledge of the unit, including care-specific concepts, is taught and assessed in the knowledge assessment.
The whole assessment is contained within the simorg, with an own-workplace option also provided. A CHC-delivering RTO can recontextualise the project into a care setting on rebrand.
