What an assessment for ACMVET402 must cover

33 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 3 performance evidence and 10 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Prepare imaging environment

1.1Prepare the room and position machine for the required procedure as instructed
1.2Follow radiation safety and WHS procedures

2 Prepare imaging equipment

2.1Prepare imaging equipment and materials and check for common faults
2.2Prepare appropriate chemicals and materials or digital system
2.3Ensure all involved staff prepare and wear personal protective equipment

3 Implement imaging procedures under the supervision of a veterinary surgeon

3.1Measure size and thickness of the area to be imaged and collimate beam and set factors, according to workplace procedures for radiography
3.2Prepare patient and apply protective and positioning aids, according to workplace procedures
3.3Produce x-ray image
3.4Assist with positioning patient for ultrasound or endoscopy
3.5Monitor patient and record observations
3.6Recognise and correct common imaging faults
3.7Return patient to housing or owner

4 Carry out post-imaging procedures

4.1Record and store images and outcomes
4.2Dispose of used chemicals or debris, according to workplace and environmental procedures
4.3Maintain adequate fresh processing chemicals or other stock, according to workplace procedures
4.4Clean and maintain imaging equipment

Performance evidence

carried out imaging routines for a minimum of three different animals, covering at least three different body parts
assisted with one ultrasound or endoscopy procedure
performed the activities outlined in the performance criteria of this unit during a period of at least 240 hours of work in a veterinary practice.

Knowledge evidence

animal anatomy and physiology related to positioning animals for imaging
animal sedation, restraint, anaesthetic monitoring and recording procedures related to imaging procedures
preparation of room for different procedures, including table, positioning devices, restraints, position required equipment
common positioning techniques for imaging procedures, including the use of aids, including: cradles, gags, ropes, sand bags, sedation
anatomical orientation terminology in relation to positioning animals for imaging
use of contract media for imaging (injectable, rectal and oral preparations)
types of imaging equipment, including: radiographic equipment (X-ray machine, digital X-ray modalities, developing process either chemical or digital, cassettes, films, table, darkroom chemicals, contract media, markers and labels), positioning aids, digital processing equipment and software; other imaging equipment and processes (digital X-ray, nuclear scintigraphy, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI); endoscopy; ultrasound
common imaging faults, including: set-up and film factors; poor positioning; inappropriate restraint or movement of patient; failure to adequately maintain and operate machine or equipment; problems with exposure settings or the development process
state or territory legislation and regulations relating to radiation safety, work health and safety and animal welfare
safe work practices in the use of radiography and other imaging equipment, including the use of appropriate personal protective equipment.

Questions about assessing ACMVET402

What does an assessment tool for ACMVET402 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for ACMVET402 needs to address all 33 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 3 performance evidence requirements, 10 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for ACMVET402?

Auditori pulls the current release of ACMVET402 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for ACMVET402 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing ACMVET402 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of ACMVET402, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
