Synopsis

The Guide provides updated information on general considerations related to the care and use of Australian native mammals across 22 chapters on individual species. The Guide seeks to ensure that any care and use of Australian native mammals for scientific purposes is ethical, humane, responsible and accords with current best practice.

The Guide replaces the two previous guidelines A Guide to the use of Australian Native Mammals in Biomedical Research – Sections 1-3 and A Guide to the use of Australian Native Mammals in Biomedical Research – Section 4: Care of individual species.

Purpose of the guide

The aims of this document are to:

  • promote a high standard of care in the use of Australian native mammals in scientific research and teaching
  • provide general information and a network of expert contacts to assist those working with native species
  • promote the accumulation of reliable scientific knowledge about Australian native mammals
  • promote the use of that knowledge for the welfare, conservation and management of native mammal species.
