Eviscerate wild game animal carcase

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to eviscerate a carcase that has been wild game shot and forwarded to a meatworks for processing. Such carcases may be required to have the pluck left in to enable meat inspection procedures to take place at wild game processing establishments.

This unit is applicable to workers in registered wild game processing plants and is not relevant to field harvesters.

All work should be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, customer requirements and product specifications.

This unit applies to individuals who work under broad direction and take responsibility for their own work including limited responsibility for the work of others. They provide and communicate solutions to a range of predictable problems.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.

This unit must be delivered and assessed in the context of Australian meat processing standards and regulations.
