In 2016, the Board of Greyhound Racing Victoria established a sub-committee as the Industry Consultative Group (ICG), because it recognised that consultation with industry participants is vitally important to the long-term sustainability of the sport of greyhound racing.
ICG members have appropriate experience and diversity across at least one of the following areas:
Greyhound Owner Trainer Breeder Association
Greyhound Racing Clubs
Greyhound Racing Sport Participants
GRV Board
Animal welfare or veterinary industry
The ICG meets regularly to provide independent advice and assistance to the GRV Board and management on issues/topics of significance including welfare, integrity, breeding, racing, regulation, promotion, clubs, building industry confidence and growing a younger participant base.
It is expected that a call for expressions of interest from participants wishing to fill any vacancies on the ICG will be advertised early in each calendar year via GRV’s website and in Greyhound Monthly Victoria magazine’ with ‘Industry News EDM.
