This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to perform the duties of a cadet steward in race meeting and non-race meeting activities.

The unit applies to stipendiary or cadet stewards or those who have been approved by a Principal Racing Authority (PRA) to attend meetings or trials and support senior stewards in non-race meeting duties. They perform duties as directed by the chairman of stipendiary stewards for the greyhound, harness and thoroughbred racing codes, and work in environments including racing administration, kennels or stables, racecourses and public areas.

Greyhound, harness and thoroughbred racing are strictly regulated throughout Australia. All stewards are appointed under the rules of racing by the relevant PRA. Users are advised to check with the relevant PRA for requirements.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
