This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to research, consult with others and write institutional husbandry guidelines for a particular species. This unit applies to wildlife animal keepers or carers who work in a captive animal facility, under the direction of a more experienced staff member.No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.NOTE: The terms 'occupational health and safety' (OHS) and 'work health and safety' (WHS) generally have the same meaning in the workplace. In jurisdictions where the national model WHS legislation has not been implemented, RTOs must contextualise the unit of competency by referring to current OHS legislative requirements.
