Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) is the statutory authority responsible for regulating, conducting and promoting greyhound racing in Victoria, a sport that annually generates around $400 million in economic activity and over $2 billion in wagering and directly involves over 15,000 people.

GRV is committed to attracting, selecting and retaining the best calibre of people to achieve the highest level of performance and behavioural standards required for each position. This will help GRV to professionally regulate, conduct and promote greyhound racing and welfare in Victoria with integrity and care, and to ensure an engaging, ethical and sustainable sport.

Our vision is “Victorian Greyhound Racing is a vibrant, entertaining and thriving sport with animal welfare at its heart.”

The integrity of racing and the welfare of the industry’s number one stakeholder, the greyhound, are significant components of the strategic priorities of GRV. The Industry Veterinarian will join an expanding team of six full-time veterinarians that perform various veterinary roles across the industry to help maintain the integrity of the sport and promote animal welfare.

The responsibilities of this position will encompass (although not be strictly limited to):
• performing the on-track veterinary role at race meetings across Victoria;
• conducting animal welfare visits with Stewards particularly where welfare concerns warrant attendance;
• assisting in the delivery of a systematic program of out-of-competition sampling for banned substances in greyhounds;
• conducting random unannounced kennel visits to verify illness/injury to greyhounds scratched on raceday and to ensure the health and welfare of all greyhounds;
• professionally presenting evidence to inquiries and appeals conducted by GRV Stewards, VRT and VCAT; and
