Reminder to Queensland Teachers We have been asked to remind Teachers that under The Queensland Animal Care and Protection Act 2001  they are obliged to notify the Animal Ethics Officer at Education Queensland that they are using a Chicken Hatching Programme, when the chicks produced are being used for any scientific experiments ie weighing of chicks etc. Should the program be solely for observation then the above will not apply. Should you require further information regarding this policy please refer to:-  Beryl Roberts – Senior Education Officer - Animal Ethics – Curriculum Branch Education Queensland on Ph (07) 3235 9966, Fax: 3235 4379 or email: Beryl_Roberts@deta.qld.gov.au or go to Google and put in Queensland Education - search and click on Animal Ethics.
