Tasmanian Greyhound Racing Recovery Rebate Scheme improved
An enhanced version of the Tasmanian Greyhound Racing Recovery Rebate Scheme has been recently announced with the goal of providing greater assistance to the greyhound racing sector.
Under the updated policy, eligible owners and trainers are now eligible to receive a rebate of up to $5,000 per greyhound to assist with injury and rehabilitation costs.
Participation in the scheme is voluntary; however, there are a number of conditions that must be satisfied before a greyhound will be accepted into the scheme.
- The Greyhound Recovery Rebate Scheme (GRRS) is only available for injuries incurred by greyhounds at a race meeting, qualifying trial, or an official trial session at which club officials are present.
- The injury must have occurred during a race at a race meeting or qualifying trial at a registered track in Tasmania where an on-track Veterinarian is present.
- The on-track Veterinarian must be able to ensure the wellbeing of the greyhound prior to the off-track veterinary consultation, which would include pain management and temporary stabilisation of the injury.
- The person in charge of the greyhound at the meeting must accept the offer from the on-track Veterinarian for the greyhound to be admitted into the scheme prior to leaving the track on that day.
As part of the new policy, there is a new one-page application form.
This form must be filled out and completed prior to seeking off track veterinary assistance.
The new increased rebate scheme is effective from September 1, 2023.
