Further Animal Care & Management Units Available for Feedback

We are seeking feedback on additional changes made to some units of competency out of the Animal Incident Management and Horse Education projects.

The changes are based on feedback that was received on the drafts that were made available throughout February and early March.

The revised units will be available for feedback until 21 March 2019. To provide comment, please visit the relevant project webpage, linked below.

Animal Incident Management Project

We are seeking your feedback on additional changes to the unit of competency for ACMAIMX12 Manage sedation and anaesthesia of large animals in emergency field situations. It follows feedback that the unit should be broadened to reflect the role of incident management teams which collaborate and work together to determine the optimal chemical restraint for a safe rescue and the welfare of the animal.

Horse Education Project

We are seeking feedback on additional changes made to four new units of competency. It follows feedback for a separate unit on basic or beginning education (groundwork). Stakeholders also noted that Elements 1 and 2 were almost identical in ACMEQU4X7 Educate horses for riding, ACMEQU4X8 Educate horses for driving and ACMEQU4X9 Educate pack horses and suggested extracting these elements to create a separate unit based on this content.
