Prepare and maintain animal housing
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to determine housing needs for particular animal species. It includes preparation, cleaning and routine tasks required to maintain the hygiene and appearance of an enclosure or exhibit.
This unit applies to wildlife animal keepers or carers 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.
