AVBS2012: Industry or Business Placement

2025 unit information

This placement will give students experience working in a professional environment. This may include any number of non-farm agriculture or animal-related business, e.g. A pharmaceutical company, a feed/nutrition company, a stock and station agent (e.g. CRC or Elders), farm consultancies (e.g. agronomist), ag-tech companies, zoos or conservation sites, non-profit organisations (e.g. RSPCA, WIRES), museums etc. During your placement it is important for students to understand the nature of the business the environment in which it operates, the governance and how management decisions are made. More detail can be found in the placement guides on Canvas. There is a comprehensive list of businesses on the SONIA site, or students are welcome to find and add a new site. Risk assessments are regularly conducted for units that require the completion of compulsory learning activities that may expose students to zoonotic diseases. These assessments aim to identify appropriate risk mitigation controls, such as vaccination against vaccine- preventable zoonoses. Vaccination against Q fever (Coxiella burnetii) is an inherent requirement for students enrolling in this unit of study. Students must be vaccinated against Q fever before commencing the unit or no later than week one of the enrolled teaching session. Q fever vaccination is only available in Australia with the vaccination process taking three weeks to complete. Students must also submit a Q fever Vaccination Declaration upon enrolment. Students who fail to receive vaccination by the specified deadline and/or submit a Q fever Vaccination Declaration are precluded from practical learning activities and will not be able to satisfactorily complete relevant units of study and/or progress in their course more generally. Please refer to the University’s website https://www.sydney.edu.au/students/q-fever-vaccinations.html for more information on student vaccinations.
