This unit is applicable to those working in the animal control and regulation sectors where it may be required to gather information on the animals received, process appropriate documentation and ensure the pound and its facilities are clean and hygiene is maintained. Knowledge of relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures is also required.
In addition to legal and ethical responsibilities, all units of competency in the ACM10 Animal Care and Management Training Package have the requirement for animals to be handled gently and calmly. The individual is required to exhibit appropriate care for animals so that stress and discomfort is minimised.
This unit of competency covers the process of providing appropriate management of impounded and surrendered animals including receiving animals, maintaining pound hygiene, providing the appropriate level of care for animals and discharging animals accordingly.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
