Queensland Off-The-Track Program

The Queensland Off-The-Track Program (QOTT Program) architecture has six 'focus areas' underpinned by the ‘Principles of Aftercare’ as set by the International Forum for the Aftercare of Racehorses (IFAR). A structured program of actions and initiatives have been established under the six focus areas to maximise aftercare outcomes for Standardbreds and Thoroughbreds bred for the racing industry and domiciled in Queensland at the time of their retirement from racing or breeding activities.

"The key messaging is that aftercare is everyone’s responsibility – it is our moral responsibility and is aligned with community expectations."

DI ARBUTHNOT, IFAR Chair
