Greyhound and Harness Racing Regulatory Authority (GHRRA)
The GHRRA is established by the Greyhound and Harness Racing Administration Act 2004 as a statutory authority which represents the Crown, and is subject to Ministerial direction except on matters relating to disciplinary inquiries and the Rules of Racing.
In October 2004, the GHRRA replaced the former Greyhound Racing Authority and Harness Racing Authority.
The principal purpose of the Greyhound and Harness Racing Regulatory Authority is to ensure that greyhound and harness racing is conducted with the utmost integrity, in accordance with community expectations.
Accordingly, the Authority has responsibility for the control and regulation of greyhound and harness racing through, for example:
- the Rules of Greyhound and Harness Racing
- the enforcement of those Rules by way of supervision of race meetings by Stewards
- appropriate drug testing and detection measures
- the grading of greyhounds and handicapping of harness horses
- the licensing/registration of industry participants (eg bookmakers, trainers, drivers), and
- the registration of racing animals.
