Industry updates / New Greyhound Transfer Policy

The Greyhound Transfer Policy came into effect on 7 April 2021 and outlines how the Commission handles transfers of greyhounds that are owned and kept by participants who are under investigation or subject to disciplinary action.

Under the Greyhound Racing Rules, a person who is under investigation or subject to disciplinary action cannot transfer ownership or trainership of a greyhound.

This policy will ensure that the rules relating to transfers of a greyhound from a person that is under investigation or subject to disciplinary action are enforced. It also outlines how participants can apply for an exemption from the rules restricting transfers.

The Greyhound Transfer policy was developed in consultation with Greyhound Racing NSW, the Greyhound Breeders, Trainers and Owners Association and the GWIC Industry Participants Advisory Council.
