What an assessment for SIFEMWK019 must cover

27 assessable components: 3 elements (12 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 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 Identify mortuary requirements.

  • 1.1Determine expected work requirements of mortuary including the calculation of anticipated volume of work, number of staff and workflow.
  • 1.2Assess physical characteristics of the space in relation to its capacity to meet operational mortuary requirements.
  • 1.3Evaluate safety and environmental issues that may impact on the organisation of space.
  • 1.4Establish available budget and any constraints to mortuary design.

2 Prepare design brief.

  • 2.1Seek advice from specialist personnel to determine cost and timeframe projections for required materials and labour.
  • 2.2Develop design specifications according to organisational requirements and operational mortuary requirements.
  • 2.3Analyse relevant data to develop design brief according to operational mortuary requirements, budgetary limitations and legislative requirements.
  • 2.4Review design brief to check for compliance with all requirements and develop solutions to address any inconsistencies.

3 Provide advice and recommendations

  • 3.1Consult relevant staff to gain feedback on design brief and to ensure all organisational requirements have been met.
  • 3.2Provide recommendations on use of mortuary facilities and design services to meet identified needs.
  • 3.3Prepare final design brief in accessible format according to organisational requirements.
  • 3.4Present final design brief within designated timelines and provide supporting documentation.

Performance evidence

  • source and analyse relevant information required to design a specific mortuary, including information for developing environmentally effective solutions
  • prepare and present a mortuary design in an accessible format according to organisational requirements
  • negotiate solutions to address inconsistencies between design brief and organisational and legislative requirements.
  • Evidence of performance preparing one or more design briefs for a mortuary is required to demonstrate consistency of performance and ability to respond to different situations.

Knowledge evidence

  • federal, state or territory, and local government legislation and regulations relating to mortuary operations, work health and safety/occupational health and safety, infection control and handling human remains
  • design elements and principles for space use
  • building control legislation, codes and relevant Australian standards, and local planning requirements
  • building construction practices
  • constraints that may impact on a design, including: local, state or federal legislative requirements, building codes, space restrictions, cash flow restrictions, overall cost ceiling, time constraints, identification of formal and informal barriers
  • range of specialists and technical experts to advise on building design
  • environmental impact of a building over its life cycle, from construction to demolition: efficient use of energy, efficient use of resources required for construction and maintenance, elimination or minimisation of hazardous and toxic materials, minimisation of water use, reduced use of non-renewable resources, re-use and recycling of materials, use of solar or other alternative forms of energy, waste reduction
  • products and services that support improved sustainability
  • components of design specifications and brief including floor plan, anticipated cost, timelines, resources and contingency plans.

Foundation skills

  • Learning skills: to identify and assess safety and environmental impacts and to stay abreast with changing design concepts and materials.
  • Initiative and enterprise skills: to generate a range of design options against organisational and operational requirements.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for SIFEMWK019?

Auditori pulls the current release of SIFEMWK019 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 SIFEMWK019 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SIFEMWK019 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 SIFEMWK019, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
