What an assessment for AHCDRG404 must cover
46 assessable components: 6 elements (26 performance criteria), 10 performance evidence and 7 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.
Elements & performance criteria
1 Assess irrigation drainage and collection systems
- 1.1Measure drainage performance according to current industry standards

- 1.3Measure water table depth where required according to current industry standards
- 1.4Measure soil salinity where required according to current industry standards
- 1.5Record results according to current industry standards
- 1.6Identify and record factors external to the system which may cause interference
- 1.7Analyse drainage system data and compare to the performance specified in the irrigation drainage plan
2 Regulate flows
- 2.1Inspect flow regulating systems and apply adjustments to achieve specified discharge requirements
- 2.2Monitor discharge flows and apply diversions to facilitate repair or emergency
3 Control and operate drainage system structures and processes
- 3.1Identify processes to maintain specified performance
- 3.2Develop and implement maintenance procedures
- 3.3Identify, address and report operational conditions of the drainage system
- 3.4Integrate processes to improve drainage network performance
4 Troubleshoot drainage problems
- 4.1Identify potential hazards and risks and implement safe working practices to manage risks
- 4.2Minimise environmental impacts of drainage system troubleshooting activities
- 4.3Select, fit and use personal protective equipment applicable to the task
- 4.4Conduct a visual inspection to determine damaged or broken components and record results
- 4.5Inspect drained areas for signs of water pooling and record problems
5 Clear drainage blockage or replace blocked section
- 5.1Access drainage lines to allow blockage to be cleared
- 5.2Clear blockage or replace blocked section
- 5.3Test drainage line to confirm blockage is cleared from pipe system
- 5.4Repair or reseal drainage line to permit normal use
- 5.5Rehabilitate drainage site according to current industry standards
6 Record and report system performance status
- 6.1Record and report water quality
- 6.2Record and report water table depth, soil moisture and salinity
- 6.3Document strategies for dealing with and minimising environmental impacts and maximising positive impacts of the drainage system
Performance evidence
- applied soil moisture testing techniques
- measured, recorded and reported water table depth, soil moisture and salinity
- calculated water volumes from rate and depth
- analysed drainage system data
- isolated drainage lines
- controlled and operated drainage system structures and processes
- applied workplace health and safety requirements
- identified and minimised adverse environmental impacts of drainage systems
- cleared and refilled drainage lines
- cleared blockages from drainage systems
Knowledge evidence
- measuring and monitoring procedures for factors contributing to drainage system performance
- water quality monitoring methods and techniques
- soil moisture measurement procedures
- principles and practices for monitoring irrigation drainage systems, including: - components used in drainage systems - isolation processes and procedures - levelling and alignment processes - types and operational parameters of drains
- safe working practices applicable to troubleshooting and clearing irrigation drainage systems and replacing blocked sections of irrigation drainage systems
- workplace requirements applicable to health and safety in the workplace for monitoring and controlling irrigation drainage systems
- environmental impacts of drainage systems
Foundation skills

Questions about assessing AHCDRG404
What does an assessment tool for AHCDRG404 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AHCDRG404 needs to address all 46 unit components: 6 elements with 26 performance criteria, 10 performance evidence requirements, 7 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.
How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for AHCDRG404?
Auditori pulls the current release of AHCDRG404 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.
Is the first assessment tool really free?
Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for AHCDRG404 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing AHCDRG404 assessment instead of generating a new one?
Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of AHCDRG404, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
