The ATRA and our Promoters take the issue of animal welfare very seriously, particularly as it relates to the running of our timed events, schools, clinics and our National Finals.

​

In particular, the ATRA and our Promoters have an ongoing commitment to:

• protect the welfare of animals used in our timed events, schools, clinics and our National Finals

• ensure event officials and other persons are aware of their responsibilities when conducting our timed events, schools, clinics and our National Finals

• provide requirements for equipment used at our timed events, schools, clinics and our National Final's facilities such as arenas, yards and chutes

• outline the key requirements for competitors and other people handling and caring for animals used in our timed events, schools, clinics and our National Final.

​

In addition, all of our timed events, schools, clinics and our National Finals, are run in strict accordance with the various State and Territory legislative requirements.
