Issue Date: April 2024
The unit is applicable to senior or more experienced keepers, such as a keeper in charge, who operates as a specialist in collection management whilst demonstrating competence in other specialist areas including animal husbandry, interpretive and learning programs, nutrition 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 developing and monitoring the implementation of a collection plan, by ensuring extensive liaison with internal and external personnel and assisting in the development of institutional policies, manuals and records in the area of species management.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
