Letter of Authority Submission Portal

RQ has updated the Letter of Authority to replace the individual representative with a more general RQ delegate. Trainers will need to resubmit an updated form as soon as possible, as without it, Racing Queensland’s ability to assist with WorkCover claims will be limited.
Please submit your Letter of Authority through this portal. For a template, please see the following link:  

Enter your RQ Client Code (T-Code) which can be found on invoices and payments from RQ
Upload a picture or PDF of your Letter of Authority. (Refer to the adjoining notes to download a letter of authority template).
