Australian Water Occupation Framework (AWOF)

The Australian Water Occupations Framework was developed from the need for national consensus on common roles, to list alternative titles and provide a guide for their training in nationally endorsed qualifications.

The water industry aims to improve national workforce planning and national representation of the industry by adopting the framework that was developed in 2013-14.

  • Defines and clarifies roles within the water industry nationally
  • Assists with building the case for expansion and improved representation in the ANZSCO codes and for data collection
  • Recognises the skills required of individuals responsible for the provision of drinking water and treatment of sewage in Australian communities
  • Highlights gaps for further development and improvement of the training package

Streams

The framework divides the occupations linked to vocational qualifications into streams; source, networks, treatment, hydrography, trade waste, irrigation supply and others. These streams can be accessed via the menu below.
