Work within a captive animal facility
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to work in a captive animal facility. It includes identifying, handling and caring for animals while complying with facility policies and procedures.
This unit applies to individuals who are required to take responsibility for their own work with limited responsibility for other workers and volunteers.
No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements 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.
