Under this registration , Scouts Australia awards a " Diploma of Leadership and Management " to those Adult Leaders who complete the Wood Badge training and additional competencies . The Diploma of Leadership and Management , like all Australian VET qualifications , is recognized throughout Australia by both government and private industry .
