Issue Date: April 2024
This unit of competency supports veterinarians who are licensed to practise veterinary medicine through relevant state registration and are required to effectively perform required veterinarian duties at race meetings.
Competencies attained in this unit apply to the greyhound or harness or thoroughbred code of the industry. Consequently when performance criteria are applied they will relate to the greyhound code or the harness code or the thoroughbred code, and statements of attainment for this unit will reflect this distinction.
This unit relates to the competencies required to provide race meeting veterinary advice to stewards on the health, welfare and fitness to race greyhounds or horses. It requires knowledge of relevant rules of racing, the ability to prepare for race meetings, make pre and post-race assessments of greyhounds or horses, provide advice to stewards, provide emergency care to animals and should it be required, euthanase animals and ensure proper arrangements are made for the disposal of the deceased animal.
This unit has restricted access to veterinarians licensed to practise veterinary medicine through relevant state registration and who have evidence of experience in the treatment and management of greyhounds for greyhound race meetings or horses for harness and thoroughbred race meetings.
This unit of competency operates in work environments of racing stables, paddocks, yards, racecourses and public areas.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements may apply to this unit. Check with your State Principal Racing Authority for current license or registration requirements.
