Careers with WildlifeWildlife Work with Private Consultants
There are many private consultant companies that employ fauna field surveyors, not just for reptiles but for all animal groups.
See www.ecansw.org.au where you will find a page advertising employment vacancies. The minimum level of training is a Bachelor of Science (subjects should include Zoology, Botany and Ecology) but it is good if you also have a Certificate Course from TAFE in Practical Fauna and Plant Survey Methods.
The reason for botanical study is that animals depend on plants as habitat and food supply. After that you can expect some on-the-job training and good senior supervision if the firm is reputable and ethical. It is wise to have wide experience of all fauna groups, especially the threatened species in the area where you live.
View www.abelecology.com.au to see the kind of work that private consultants perform and the context in which they operate.
