This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to conduct pre-race and race meeting checks of a variety of documentation, including written, audio and visual, to monitor and interpret wagering information for race integrity purposes.

The unit applies to stipendiary or cadet stewards or those who have been approved by a Principal Racing Authority (PRA) to perform the job functions associated with interpreting wagering trends in greyhound, harness or thoroughbred racing codes.

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.
