Industry updates / Interstate trainer transfer protocols

The Greyhound Welfare and Integrity Commission (GWIC) has revised the protocols that will be applied to all interstate trained greyhounds that compete in races conducted within New South Wales.

These protocols assist the Commission in regulating the movement of greyhounds.

The protocols require that the trainer of an interstate-based greyhound which has been nominated for a heat, or drawn in a semi-final or final, must complete the ‘Interstate Trainer Declaration form (PDF 76.2 KB)’.

This declaration form (PDF 76.2 KB) should be completed within 24 hours of the greyhound being nominated for a heat, or drawn in semi-final or final, should the greyhound be travelling into NSW from interstate.

Registered participants, who ordinarily reside in Victoria, remain unable to attend NSW race meetings unless they hold a border entry permit issued by Service NSW and have been granted permission to attend by the GWIC Stewards.
