Fauna Handling Courses
To assist those working in the field with fauna relocation, this wildlife safety training was originally developed with Roy Hill in line with DBCA Parks & Wildlife Service requirements for fauna handlers.
This single day course provides theory and some practical exercises in the capture, restraint, handling and transportation of invertebrates, frogs, lizards, birds and small mammals.
Education and personal empowerment – it is education and training – but we have some fun too. Successful completion of the course is certified. Each State and Territory has different regulations regarding fauna management.
