Regulation in Queensland

In Queensland, the commercial operator and the regulator are separate organisations.

Commercial operations are administered by the Racing Act 2002 under the Office of Racing in the QLD government by Racing Queensland.

The Racing Integrity Act 2016 created the QLD Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC), which is an independent statutory body to monitor racing and animal welfare, administered by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries.

In relation specifically to greyhound racing, it deals with Steward’s reports, internal review decisions, licensing and ownership, and veterinary services and animal welfare.

Queensland produces a monthly e-magazine called Chase, which contains news on Greyhound Racing in Queensland and NSW Northern Rivers. CHASE is distributed nationally to all Greyhound Racing Clubs and provides race information, feature race calendars, latest industry news, and exists to inform and support the greyhound racing industry.
