Racing Regulation – Queensland

Queensland Racing Regulation - September 2024

Key findings

  • Decisions inconsistent with community expectations – attitudinal research clearly shows that the community expects wrongdoers to be punished when they transgress animal welfare requirements.
  • Inadequate welfare data – information regarding the retirement, rehoming, euthanasia, and death of greyhounds is significantly reliant on self-notification by owners and trainers.
  • Lack of transparency – performance against greyhound racing rules and legal requirements is not made clear, denying Queenslanders the opportunity to assess the regulation of the greyhound racing industry.
