Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit of competency supports a stipendiary or cadet steward to manage the job functions associated with non-race day duties.
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 oversee and monitor trackwork and training operations and manage the job functions associated with checking the equipment used in trackwork and the eligibility of participants, including greyhounds and horses, and to conduct kennel or stable inspections. It requires strong verbal and written communication skills and the knowledge and skills associated with staff and animal welfare, animal treatment and medication, the security of kennels or stables, the conduct of licensed or registered personnel and updating reports, records and other relevant documentation.
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.
