Licence and permit information for animal

Organisations that conduct teaching or research programs involving animals must have a licence to do so.

If you are working in a program such as this you need a permit from the relevant ethics committee unless you are assisting someone who does have a permit.

You can be prosecuted if you conduct a teaching or research program without a permit.
