This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to contribute to and implement regional collection plans within a captive animal facility by ensuring breeding environments and programs are monitored carefully and the transportation of animals between captive animal facilities is managed effectively.

This unit applies to senior or experienced keepers with extensive zoo keeping or related experience who supervise others and provide and communicate solutions to a range of predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.

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.
