Actually it should read- save MY soul
I need help!
Are there any groomers out there looking for a change for a short period of time.
I require the services of a groomer to help in my salon in Yeppoon while I recover from Major surgery from 12th August 2008. I have arranged so far to close for the first two weeks ,but after that I was hoping to attract a groomer looking for a working holiday. Free accommodation in return for a few ½ days a week for as long as it takes for me to recover (min 8 weeks) or until you have to go home. This is a great opportunity to visit a beautiful holiday destination, visit the islands, go snorkelling, skin diving, parachuting (if your game) all in my backyard!
If you are interested please contact Gail Martin at ClipPets 0429 311 204 or email clippets@bigpond.com

Industry Training
PIAA members have access to an extensive list of nationally accredited qualifications for the Pet Industry. Many of these can be offered as traineeships and may receive goverment rebates off setting the cost of training. Please go to the "Member's Only" section of this web site for the full list of training programs available to you.
Until 2004, the Pet Industry had no “industry standard” upon which to base its standard operating practices other than the PIAA National Code of Practice. Now with the release of the Animal Care & Management Training Package (ACM TP), and the Companion Animal Services sector, we as an industry are heading in the right direction.
A number of Registered Training Organisations including TAFEs and other RTO's are creating courses that meet the new training package requirements during 2005/2006.
The “ACM TP” will be re-endorsed every three years by the Federal Government Authority - Agri-Foods Industry Skills Council and as a result, the pet industry will become more professional through a well trained and competent workforce.
It is “our” needs that will change over time and that is the reason for the on-going three-yearly reaccreditation process.
AGRI-FOODS Industry Skills Council is the peak body for training and work force development for the Austrlaian Agri-Food Industry. The Pet Industry 
education and training package fall with in the Agri-foods Industy Skills Council responsibility.
