What an assessment for DEFWHS006 must cover
32 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 5 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 Prepare for the development of ionising radiation safety plans

- 1.5Measure ionising radiation.
- 1.6Deploy measuring equipment and record readings.
2 Analyse ionising radiation
- 2.1Interpret and confirm measurements.
- 2.2Analyse and/or determine ionising radiation and report findings to appropriate authorities/superiors.
3 Develop ionising radiation safety plans
- 3.1Conduct consultation with stakeholders.
- 3.2Identify and interpret technical standards, organisational environmental requirements and ionising radiation exposure levels.

Questions about assessing DEFWHS006
What does an assessment tool for DEFWHS006 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for DEFWHS006 needs to address all 32 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 5 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 DEFWHS006?
Auditori pulls the current release of DEFWHS006 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 DEFWHS006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing DEFWHS006 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 DEFWHS006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
