The unit is applicable to senior or more experienced keepers, such as the keeper in charge, who operates as a specialist in exhibit design and development whilst demonstrating competence in other specialist areas, including animal husbandry, interpretive and learning programs, nutrition, collection management and conservation and research.
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 assessing current exhibit status, identifying the need for new or renovation enclosure or exhibit works, preparing proposals and contributing to project planning and implementation.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
