Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency supports the stipendiary steward in preparing for and representing stewards at appeal hearings.
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 prepare for racing industry appeals. It requires an ability to research and gather information, and prepare evidence and associated documentation. It also requires the ability to effectively communicate with appeal panel members, lawyers, licensed personnel and racing officials.
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.
