Mission Statement
"To effectively manage, promote and develop a vibrant industry to ensure expansion and future wagering growth to maximize opportunities and returns for all participants"
In Victoria, Greyhound Racing Victoria is the body responsible for promoting and controlling the sport. A key part of its role is the setting of standards, regulating and policing the industry and the people involved. With approximately 800 race meetings held across 13 venues throughout the state, GRV distributes to owners and trainers more than $20 million dollars in prize money every year.
The greyhound racing industry makes a substantial contribution to the Victorian economy, both as a recreational pursuit, and as an industry that employs thousands of people and generates millions of dollars in wagering.
GRV has the task of ensuring that industry participants fully understand their responsibilities in relation to the greyhounds they own and train. They support and encourage continual improvement of training and husbandry techniques through research and education and are committed to the ongoing welfare of greyhounds throughout their racing careers and into retirement. To help care for those greyhounds that are no longer suited to racing, GRV has developed the highly successful Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) that helps to place ex-racing greyhounds into homes where they live out the rest of their lives as family pets.
