What an assessment for HLTCCD004 must cover
60 assessable components: 3 elements (10 performance criteria), 22 performance evidence and 28 knowledge evidence requirements. 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 Identify the structure and function of the human body and the effect of diseases and conditions.
- 1.1Identify the key anatomical structures of the human body system and their component parts.
- 1.2Recognise normal body functions that maintain homeostasis.
- 1.3Identify common diseases and conditions affecting the human body system and differentiate signs and symptoms from pathological conditions for each system.
- 1.4Use knowledge of anatomy and physiology to determine disease progression.
2 Identify the appropriate investigation and treatment for diseases and conditions.
- 2.1Identify methods used to diagnose diseases and conditions.
- 2.2Identify common surgical procedures or interventions used to treat diseases and conditions.
- 2.3Locate required drug information including dosage, administration routes and indication for use using the relevant drug reference material, in accordance with organisational policies and procedures.
3 Apply and maintain knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
- 3.1Apply knowledge of anatomy and physiology to analyse episodes of care.
- 3.2Identify and use opportunities to update and expand own knowledge of anatomy and physiology, the disease process and clinical interventions.
- 3.3Use medical references to interpret clinical information.
Performance evidence
- Evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit in the context of the job role, and:
- source and interpret clinical information on diseases and conditions affecting each of the body systems and specialities including:
- infectious and parasitic diseases
- neoplasms
- diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and common disorders involving the immune mechanism
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases
- mental and behavioural disorders
- diseases of the nervous system
- diseases of the eye and adnexa
- diseases of the ear and mastoid process
- diseases of the circulatory system
- diseases of the respiratory system
- diseases of the digestive system
- diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue
- diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
- diseases of the genitourinary system
- pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium conditions originating in the perinatal period including congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified
- injury, poisoning and other causes of morbidity and mortality
- for each of the diseases or conditions above, interpret clinical information to:
- identify the investigations or interventions used to diagnose the disease or condition
- identify medical and surgical interventions used to treat the disease or condition.

Questions about assessing HLTCCD004
What does an assessment tool for HLTCCD004 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for HLTCCD004 needs to address all 60 unit components: 3 elements with 10 performance criteria, 22 performance evidence requirements, 28 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 HLTCCD004?
Auditori pulls the current release of HLTCCD004 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 HLTCCD004 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing HLTCCD004 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 HLTCCD004, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
