This assessment covers the following Units of Competency (UOC/s):
· HLTOHC004 Provide or assist with oral hygiene
Unit Descriptors
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to provide or assist a patient with their oral hygiene where the patient is unable to perform all or part of these tasks by themselves. The oral hygiene tasks for the patient are carried out within the framework of an individualised care support plan and within the workers designated role and responsibilities.
This unit applies to workers who provide direct patient care in a range of health and community services environments.
Assessment Requirements
For more information relating to the RTO assessment requirements, including the management of student progression, please refer to the NSW Health Student Handbook. For course specific assessment requirements, please refer to the Course Guide.

Recognition of Prior Learning and Credit Transfer
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is an assessment process that allows experienced individuals to gain a full or part qualification by producing evidence of what they already know, can do, and have done.
RPL provides an opportunity for prospective students to gain recognition based on the skills and knowledge they have recently gained through experience, as well as any training that have been completed outside of formal training arrangements.
RPL has many benefits:
· Students can finish their training earlier
· It avoids duplication of training and maximises its value
· It creates a learning culture by valuing and recognising learning that has occurred in the workplace.
You may want to apply for RPL or Course Credit. For more information please refer to the NSW Health RTO Student Handbook and discuss this with your Program Coordinator.
Reasonable Adjustment
A ‘reasonable adjustment’ is an adjustment to the assessment process or materials that allows a student with a disability fair access to the assessment, and fair opportunity to successfully complete it. Adjustments must be reasonable and must not compromise the integrity of the assessment.
Examples of reasonable adjustment could include: providing support to individual students, assistive technology, modifying the assessment process or the format of materials, or adjusting the physical environment.
Make sure you discuss your assessment needs with your Program Coordinator/assessor prior to the assessment.
Assessment Cover Sheet Requirements
Before you start the assessment tasks, your Program Coordinator/assessor will have discussed with you a timetable for submission. If you are required to:
1. Submit all tasks together at the one time, you will need to complete and provide one Assessment Cover Sheet. This will be placed as the first page or file of your submission document OR
2. Submit tasks in parts and progressively, you will need to provide an Assessment Cover Sheet for each submission OR
3. Re-submit an assessment task, you will need to submit a new Assessment Cover Sheet.
The Assessment Cover Sheet can be found in Appendix 1.
