Questions about assessing CHCMHS006
What does an assessment tool for CHCMHS006 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CHCMHS006 needs to address all 54 unit components: 3 elements with 17 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 31 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills.

Auditori pulls the current release of CHCMHS006 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.
