Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit of competency supports the cadet steward in attending city, provincial and country race meetings or trials and supporting senior stewards in non-race meeting duties, and performing such duties as directed by the chairman of stipendiary stewards for the greyhound, harness and thoroughbred racing codes.
Competencies attained in this unit apply to the greyhound, 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 of competency specifies the outcomes required to perform the duties of a cadet steward in race meeting and non-race meeting activities. It requires knowledge of rules relating to licensed personnel, permit holders and others authorised to undertake work on racecourses and racing training establishments, as well as knowledge of the rules of racing related to the gear worn by racing animals and the animals' health, fitness and suitability to race.
This unit of competency operates in workplace environments of racing administration, kennels, stables, racecourses and public areas.
Greyhound, harness and thoroughbred racing is strictly regulated throughout Australia. All stewards are appointed under the rules of racing by the relevant racing controlling body. For this reason enrolment in this unit of competency is restricted to people currently employed as a stipendiary or cadet steward or those who have been approved by a State Principal Racing Authority to undertake this unit.
