Trouble accessing draft documents?
Don’t worry, there is still time to provide feedback.
Recently we experienced technical difficulties with the online feedback hub. The feedback hub is now working and there is plenty of time to provide feedback.
You are invited to review new and revised qualifications, skill sets and units of competency for the racing and breeding industry. They have been drafted as part of the following three projects:
- Retraining Horses & Greyhounds to New Environments
- Greyhound Health Assistance Services
- Horse Breeding Skills
We are seeking your feedback on whether the draft qualifications, skill sets and units reflect the current skills standards and practices of industry, and whether job functions are accurately described.
The draft qualifications and units will be available for feedback until 9 December 2018.
Feedback will inform the work on the final drafts which are expected to available for industry validation in February 2019.
