The Greyhound Racing Community

The industry is well-regulated and well-supported

Greyhound racing is so much more than just a sport or industry.

For many families, it is a tradition passed down from one generation to another, supporting regional communities and local businesses. For many communities – particularly across regional Australia – it’s a way of life, one of the few codes that has participants aged from their teens to their 90s.

Whatever the age or experience, it attracts participants that love the dogs, with a commitment to welfare during racing and rehoming in retirement at its heart.

Remember…We Need You.

Greyhound racing creates community and provides purpose. It also supports hundreds of local jobs and generations of passionate trainers, breeders, participants and volunteers.

For almost 100 years greyhound racing has been a constant in our regions. with animal welfare always at its heart. It has stood the test of time. Race days and training days support businesses and create opportunities.

With ever stronger welfare codes we keep making our industry better.
