Handbook

Clinical requirements
The Centre of Veterinary Sciences has determined that a compulsory standard of protective clothing for field work, and farm visits, including working animals both within and outside of class time, be adopted by all students and staff. Clean coveralls/overalls are required for working with farm animals and horses. Closed-in stout leather shoes or boots must be worn when working with large animals. No jewellery is to be worn, and long hair must be tied back when working with machinery or any animals including horses, cattle and sheep.

Clean laboratory coats must be worn in laboratories and clinics as required.

Immunisation
Q-fever vaccination is compulsory to enable you to participate in the practical components of the Veterinary Science, Animal Science, Veterinary Technology and Equine Science programs. Students will be advised of the timing of the Q fever vaccination program available through the University. If you have current vaccination records or have immunity, documentation to that effect is required to be sighted and recorded by the School's administration staff.

Tetanus vaccination is also essential and should be kept up to date at all times. Please make your own arrangements.
