Issue Date: April 2024
This unit of competency supports race club employees to prepare the racetrack and associated facilities for race meetings.
Competencies attained in this unit apply to the greyhound, harness and thoroughbred codes of the industry. Consequently when performance criteria are applied they will relate to the greyhound or harness or thoroughbred code, and statements of attainment for this unit will reflect this distinction.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to prepare track and facilities for race meetings as required by the relevant racing code. The unit includes preparing track and other race club facilities, equipment, machinery and infrastructure for a race meeting, monitoring track condition and operations during the meeting, overseeing the post-race clean-up, and scheduling required repairs and maintenance work. It requires the ability to maintain and monitor the organisation's policies, including workplace OHS standards relating to contractors, race club staff and others authorised to undertake work on racecourses. It also requires effective verbal and written communication skills to ensure adequate supervision of staff, and completion of related tasks and documentation.
This unit of competency operates in workplace environments of racing administration, kennels, stables, 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.
