The Provision of GAP Veterinary Services

⁠⁠⁠Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) is the statutory authority responsible for promoting and controlling the greyhound sport throughout Victoria created by the Racing Act 1958 to fulfil the dual role of regulating the industry and expanding the industry. The greyhound racing industry makes a substantial contribution to the Victorian economy, both as a recreational pursuit, and as an industry employing in excess of 2,800 people and generating more than $44 million dollars in prize money and millions of dollars in wagering, across 13 venues with almost 1200 races throughout the State.

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.

GRV is inviting Expressions of Interest from suitably qualified Veterinarians for the provision of veterinary services to the Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) as outlined in Part A.2 – Specifications.
