Racing Integrity Act 2016

The panel for deciding a panel review application is to be constituted by—

the chairperson; and

2 other members, chosen by the chairperson.

However, the panel may be constituted in the way decided by the chairperson, including by the chairperson alone, if the panel review application relates to a racing decision of a steward—

to impose a monetary penalty for an amount no greater than $200; or

to take disciplinary action relating to a person’s approval or licence that has effect for no longer than 8 days; or

to take exclusion action against a person that has effect for no longer than 8 days.

When choosing a member for the panel, the chairperson may consider—

the nature, importance and complexity of the panel review application to be heard and decided by the panel; and

the need for any special knowledge, expertise or experience relating to the application; and

any other matter the chairperson considers relevant.
