So you want to get involved in greyhound ownership and or training but aren’t sure where to begin.
How do you apply to become an owner trainer?
Each of the states have their own application process and slightly different rules and regulations when it comes to the application process of becoming a greyhound owner or trainer. For example in NSW you are required to have a kennel inspection where as in Tasmania the laws are a little more lax..
…and what they require in WA is not exactly what is required in Victoria.
We have tried to gather as many official pages and links to help you out with the process.
Please see links below to each of the states application information as well as application forms.
