Greyhound Grading Procedures Review
Racing Queensland Greyhound Grading Procedures
Industry Consultation
Wednesday, June 24 2026
BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEW
Following the Racing Queensland (RQ) Grading and Programming Review, including the club visits and online surveys held in November and December last year, RQ has undertaken a detailed analysis of the feedback received from greyhound industry participants in relation to the Greyhound Grading Procedure. RQ also sought independent input from Greyhounds Australasia (GA) to assist with this process.
With the support of GA, RQ has worked to incorporate the key feedback trends arising out of this process into proposed updates to the Greyhound Grading Procedure. The large volume of feedback provided by industry participants across each of the club visits and online surveys proved valuable in determining the key issues for change.
Accordingly, several changes have been put forward to improve the operation of grading and greyhound progression opportunities. An explanation of all key changes to the existing grading procedures is provided in the documentation below.
The following documents are provided to assist with feedback submissions:
