| Assistance | From the species, the place it will be kept, and whether it was captive-bred or taken from the wild, as the lawyer records, list the licence headings on the official keeper page the lawyer has opened for that place. Do not say that a licence is or is not required. |
| Lawyer | Set the scope, supervise the work closely, verify every part relied on, resolve omissions and exceptions, and approve the exact output. |
Checklist
- Open the keeper list for the place the animal will be kept, on the day of the advice, and do not use a list from another State.
- Record whether the animal would be captive-bred or taken from the wild. The New South Wales page says none of the pet species may be caught in the wild.
- The lawyer decides the licence class and whether the client may keep the species. The tool does not.
