What an assessment for SIFCBCR006 must cover
33 assessable components: 3 elements (19 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 11 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 Determine gravedigging requirements
- 1.1Identify appropriate lined or unlined gravesite and physical location according to cemetery map or plan.
- 1.2Assess site and surrounding area to determine soil type, safety hazards, access and egress, requirement to conduct grave probe, removal of soil and effect on presentation of nearby graves.
- 1.3Determine viability of gravesite according to safety requirements and refer to manager or leading hand for further instruction.
- 1.4Select manual or machinery gravedigging method.
2 Conduct grave probe as required
- 2.1Select and prepare personal protective equipment.
- 2.2Select and prepare tools and equipment and machinery according to work requirements, and manufacturer guidelines.
- 2.3Undertake slab removal as required.
- 2.4Measure plot to determine correct location of initial probe position.
- 2.5Probe gravesite according to measurements.
- 2.6Record measurements from probe to determine vacancy status.
- 2.7Report viability of gravesite to appropriate personnel.
3 Prepare for digging
- 3.1Assemble and brief gravedigging work team as required.
- 3.2Advise gravedigging work team of above and below ground lines of communication to be used in case of emergency.

- 3.7Apply protective strategies to preserve adjacent graves.
- 3.8Place protective restraints to ensure access by authorised personnel only.
Performance evidence
- identify and assess gravesites to select appropriate gravedigging or re-opening method, tools, equipment and safety requirements according to work requirements
- take accurate measurements, make accurate calculations and conduct accurate probes
- Evidence of performance of preparing for grave digging on two or more occasions is required to demonstrate consistency of performance and ability to respond to different situations.
Knowledge evidence
- soil types and their impact on gravedigging
- tools equipment and machinery used in relation to gravedigging, and their associated uses
- use and maintenance of personal protective equipment
- safe operation of relevant tools and equipment
- safe shoring structures and procedures
- safety hazards in relation to gravedigging, including: air, water, vibration, heat, slippery surfaces, overhead obstacles, ground pressure: machinery, people, soil, structures, previously dug graves, monument collapse, foreign objects, drains, cables, sprinklers, pipes, trees and roots
- risk assessment procedures
- federal, state or territory, and local government legislation and regulations relating to work health and safety/occupational health and safety and gravedigging
- workplace policies and procedures to protect personnel and gravesites
- environmental impacts in relation to gravedigging and minimal impact practices to reduce these, especially those that relate to resource, water and energy use
- environmentally sound disposal methods for all types of waste and in particular for hazardous substances.

Questions about assessing SIFCBCR006
What does an assessment tool for SIFCBCR006 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SIFCBCR006 needs to address all 33 unit components: 3 elements with 19 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 11 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 SIFCBCR006?
Auditori pulls the current release of SIFCBCR006 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 SIFCBCR006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing SIFCBCR006 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 SIFCBCR006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
