Butchers and Smallgoods Makers select, cut, trim, prepare and arrange meat for sale and supply, operate meat and smallgoods processing machines, and manage the processes in the production of smallgoods.
You can work as a Butcher or Smallgoods Maker without formal qualifications if you are able to demonstrate your technical competency to employers. However, a certificate III in meat processing (retail butcher or smallgoods) is usually required. This course is often completed as part of an apprenticeship.
