Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency supports racing industry personnel who are required to perform photo finish operations at greyhound or horse race meetings as part of their job role. Some states and racing codes have crossover tasks associated with the duties of race judge and photo finish operator.
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 either the greyhound code or harness code or the thoroughbred code and statements of attainment will reflect this distinction.
This unit can be contextualised for other industries while also maintaining the integrity of the unit.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to prepare for race day and operate specialised race result equipment, including cameras, computers and other technology. It requires an ability to identify individual greyhounds or horses, liaise with stewards and other racing officials, work to deadlines and report on race outcomes.
This unit of competency operates in workplace environments of racing administration, stables, kennels, 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.
