Commitment to Safety & Well-being
At Racing Queensland (RQ), we care deeply about the safety and well-being of everyone in our racing community. Whether you’re a trainer, jockey, driver, stablehand, kennel attendant, race club staff member, or volunteer, each of you plays an essential role in creating a safe and supportive environment across all three codes of racing.
Our commitment goes beyond meeting legal obligations; it’s about creating workplaces that are safe, respectful, positive, and inclusive. Together, we must challenge ourselves to reflect on whether we are contributing to these goals and take proactive steps to address any issues that fall short of our shared values and expectations.
This isn’t just about doing the right thing—it’s about protecting the people who make our industry thrive.
Employers have a legal and moral responsibility to ensure their workplaces are safe, and RQ is here to support that responsibility with resources, guidance, and initiatives.
Working in collaboration with our industry partners, we’re dedicated to helping everyone in Queensland racing make safety a priority. With the right mindset and collective effort, we can ensure that every participant, regardless of their role or code, can conduct their work with confidence and return home safely to their families.
Let’s make a shared commitment to workplace health and safety. Together, we can uphold the standards that ensure our industry remains strong, sustainable, and safe for all.
