Volunteer Animal Ethics Committee Members Category C

7 hours ago

City of Melbourne, Australia SEEK Volunteer Full time

About the Role

The primary responsibility of an Animal Ethics Committee (AEC) is to ensure, on behalf of the institution(s) for which it acts, that all activities relating to the care and use of animals for scientific and teaching purposes are conducted in compliance with the Australian Code.

As such, each AEC member plays a critical role in ensuring the ethical, humane, and responsible care and use of such animals.

Committee membership is managed to ensure that, collectively, the AEC fulfils the membership criteria of the Australian Code and has the necessary expertise to effectively discharge its responsibilities.

The Alfred Research Alliance (ARA) is currently recruiting volunteer AEC members to join our AECs. Expressions of interest are sought for the categories of membership below, as stipulated in the Australian Code:

- Category C (Animal Welfare): A person with demonstrable commitment to, and established experience in, furthering the welfare of animals, who is not employed by or otherwise associated with the institution, and who is not currently involved in the care and use of animals for scientific purposes.

Veterinarians with specific animal welfare interest and experience may meet the requirements of this category. While not representing an animal welfare organisation, the person should, where possible, be selected on the basis of active membership of, and endorsement by, such an organisation.

For further information please contact the Animal Ethics Office – [emailprotected]

Commitment

Regular - more than 6 months

Training

Members are provided with training to gain a more detailed understanding of the requirements of the Australian Code for the Care and Use of Animals for Scientific Purposes, and how their role contributes to effective AEC function.

Reimbursement

An honorarium of $250 per meeting is provided to cover the costs associated with performing your role and attending AEC meetings.
