Develop and implement specific practice policies
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to develop, review, update and implement policies for specific practice needs and communicate them to practice personnel to ensure the sound management of the veterinary business.
The unit applies to veterinary nurses who work under the supervision of a registered veterinarian in a veterinary practice. Veterinary nurses who review and implement practice policies need to hold in-depth knowledge of the operations of the veterinary practice.
Legislative and regulatory requirements apply to veterinary nurses but vary according to state/territory jurisdictions. Users must check with the relevant regulatory authority before delivery.
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.
