Although it is uncommon to find a job advertisement seeking a zoologist specifically, a degree in zoology is the natural qualification for a wide range of scientific employment opportunities. Zoologists find employment in Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) laboratories, Commonwealth, State and local governments, National Parks, The Australian Institute of Marine Science, museums, zoological gardens, conservation authorities, medical laboratories, and secondary and tertiary education institutions. Others find employment in private industry or self-employment or consultancy in areas such as aquaculture, environmental impact assessment studies, field educational studies, biotechnology, conservation, ecotourism and national heritage work. Other potential avenues of self-employment are in animal-breeding, private zoos and the production of nature films, books and multimedia presentations.
