Self-Assessment

What is self-assessment?

Self-assessment is a process that allows you to assess yourself against the competencies required for your job within your workplace. In most instances for disability work this will be competencies from the Community Services Training Package (CSTP) using competency job profiles. There are different profiles for different jobs, but some jobs will have some competencies in common. For example the competencies in the job profile for an Accommodation Worker and a Case Manager have some competencies in common and some unique to each position.

Further information including a list of competency job profiles can be found in the competency job profile section on this website.

One example of a self-assessment is the Online Training Assessment Package (OnTAP), this tool allows you to assess yourself against competencies from the Community Services Training Package – OnTAP can help to

identify individual learning needs
identify evidence to collect
plan ongoing learning and career pathway.

This program is available to staff working in the disability sector and is accessible through the internet from the Department of Human Services (will open in a new window)
