What we do

Written By Dana Briggs

At Dana Briggs Consulting, we inspire excellence in animal care and use for scientific purposes through independent external reviews, consulting, workshops, online courses and coaching.

Independent external review (Aus & NZ)

Reviews are our bread and butter. We have lived experienced working with animals in both the Australian and New Zealand regulatory environments, and we’ve been conducting reviews since 2020. In that time, we’ve leveraged our auditing qualifications and experience into an effective review program, complete with Client Manuals, seamless processes, beautiful collateral (a collection of media used to support the review) and a deliverables package which includes a summary report and follow up support. We conduct Australian reviews in accordance with Section 6 of the Australian Code for the Care and Use of Animals for Scientific Purposes and we carry out reviews under sections 105 of the NZ Animal Welfare Act 1999 in accordance with the Performance Standards for Independent Reviews of Code Holder and Animal Ethics Committees.

Consulting

We provide advice, strategy and management for all sorts of matters from risk management to process improvement to openness to restructuring teams and redesigning programs.

Workshops

We develop and deliver custom workshops designed for your people. On occasion we also offer workshops around Australia and New Zealand on hot topics or pain points.

Online courses

We are building a suite of online training courses to equip animal care and use program leaders and administrators to achieve excellence in animal care and use for scientific purposes. Think risk management, compliance obligations, effective chairing, AEC management, post-approval monitoring (PAM) and more....

Coaching

For those of you who don’t have a specific project in mind but would like some guidance, our coaching packages are perfect. Choose casual, six month or 12 month packages. We’ll help you choose your goals - be they professional development or program improvement - and help you work towards them.
