Issue Date: June 2024
The unit is applicable to animal keepers and carers where it may be necessary to identify where assistance is required in the rescue of animals and the management of animal stress and injuries.
In addition to legal and ethical responsibilities, all units of competency in the ACM10 Animal Care and Management Training Package have the requirement for animals to be handled gently and calmly. The individual is required to exhibit appropriate care for animals so that stress and discomfort is minimised.
This unit of competency covers the process of rescuing and restraining animals and providing basic first aid.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
