Licence and Registration Forms

There are many types of licences available within the Thoroughbred racing industry. Each type of licence requires differing levels of experience and knowledge. To ensure that new applicants are fully aware of the requirements of any category of licence, application forms are not available electronically but will be forwarded to interested persons upon enquiry. This is to ensure the appropriate and up to date information is provided to prospective applicants. If you have any queries about any registration or licensing matter please contact the Office of Racing Integrity.

Lease Forms

Lease Amendment - Introduced 1 August 2023

ORI has introduced a simplified way to amend Leases currently in place on TAS horses.
In an effort to simplify changes for the connections, the new Lease Amendment form notates the outgoing and incoming party by signature with the Managing Lessee responsible for informing the other Lessees, and the Managing Owner responsible for informing the other Owners.
This is similar to the practice introduced some time ago by Racing Australia for Transfers of Ownership.

The new Lease Amendment form in TAS, carries the following requirements:

Must be a TAS lease
Outgoing lessee signs out
Incoming lessee signs in
Managing Owner (Lessor) signs, confirming that they have advised all other owners (Lessors)
Managing Lessee signs and lodges with ORI, confirming that they have advised all other lessees
All other conditions of the lease and expiry date remain

Lease Extensions - Can only be processed within the original lease agreement term.

Owners (Lessors) should be aware that while a lease agreement on their horse remains current, a transfer of ownership cannot be processed until that lease agreement has been cancelled.
