Dog & Cat Management Board Training

Build Your Legislative and Investigative Capability with Confidence

LGA Training, in collaboration with Norman Waterhouse Lawyers, has launched a comprehensive suite of 10 professional development sessions formally approved by the Dog and Cat Management Board.

These sessions are aligned with the Board’s latest learning framework and support compliance with the required units of competency in the following three components:

  1. Legislative Interpretation and Application
  2. Evidence Gathering and Investigations
  3. Professional Conduct and Interpersonal Skills

Whether delivered in person or via Live Virtual Classroom (LVC), these sessions are designed to equip authorised officers with the legal knowledge and investigative skills they need to meet the standards outlined in the Dog and Cat Management Act 1995.

By completing all 10 sessions, officers will meet the Board’s full competency requirements for all three components—ensuring they are confident and compliant in their role. The Dog and Cat Management Board recommends that all competencies be completed and signed off within six months of an officer’s appointment by the Council’s Chief Executive Officer.

We are committed to providing practical, accessible, and future-focused training that supports the ongoing development of local government staff.

If you’re interested in bringing this training to your region; whether delivered in-house at your council or shared with neighbouring councils, please get in touch at training@lga.sa.gov.au to explore local delivery options.
