Handbook

The rotation is intended to provide students with experience of the work of veterinarians in the public or private sector, who are responsible for developing and implementing state and national programs for animal welfare, disease surveillance, monitoring and control and therefore providing an essential component of Australia's public health and biosecurity network. This work has very large significance to the country's continuing access to its export markets for food products. This rotation requires a 3 week placement with a District Veterinarian in a NSW Livestock Health and Pest Authority or an approved alternative placement in a Government Veterinary workplace, such as a State Department of Agriculture, Australian Department (AQIS, DAFF Biosecurity, NAQS), Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority, industry organizations, such as Animal Health Australia or non-government organizations.
