Integrity

The Greyhound Industry Reform Panel recommended that GRNSW retain the commercial function of the greyhound racing industry and that the Greyhound Welfare and Integrity Commission be created to take control of the regulatory functions. This occurred on 1 July 2018.

The Commission’s regulatory functions are to:

To control, supervise and regulate greyhound racing in NSW
To initiate, develop and implement policies relating to the welfare of greyhounds
To undertake research and investigation into any aspect of the breeding of greyhounds and of greyhound racing
To consult with animal welfare bodies in developing changes to legislation relating to the welfare of greyhounds
To register greyhounds, greyhound racing industry participants and greyhound trial tracks
To prepare and implement a Code of Practice for the Welfare of Greyhounds
Make and administer the Greyhound Racing Rules
