To operate effectively in today’s turbulent business landscape, HR practitioners will benefit from developing their full suite of HR capabilities, as per the Australian HR Capability framework. Explore HRM’s HR professional development toolkit.
As the demands on HR practitioners continue to evolve, the Australian HR Capability Framework (AHRCF) provides a clear guide for building the skills needed to navigate today’s complexities with confidence. Whether it’s fostering strategic leadership, driving workforce performance or embedding inclusive practices, the AHRCF pillars offer a roadmap for deepening HR capabilities in meaningful, measurable ways.
As we step into a new year, it’s the perfect time for HR practitioners to reflect on their development goals and curate a professional development toolkit that aligns with these pillars, ensuring they are equipped to meet organisational challenges while driving their own career growth.
AHRI members can assess their capabilities against the AHRCF and receive personalised development recommendations using the Capability Assessment Tool, which is accessible via the member dashboard. Learn more about this below.

Example in action
Isabelle is an HR manager and has worked across recruitment, compliance and policy implementation for most of her 15-year career. She’s refined her workforce effectiveness and talent management skills, but is looking to add more capabilities to her toolkit to prepare herself to move into a more senior HR leadership role. After using AHRI’s Capability Assessment tool, she learns that she needs to lean into the Culture Leadership and Business Strategy pillars of the AHRCF.
The Australian HR Capability Framework is freely available for any HR practitioner to view. AHRI members can access a career-stage breakdown of each skill and knowledge area, as well as the Capability Assessment Tool and individual report.
