These practical assessments must be performed in a working environment, which, for the purposes of the tasks, may be anywhere that includes suitable facilities including stables, paddocks, yards, tracks, exercise arenas and/or public areas.

To ensure enrolling students meet this requirement and as part of our duty of care, you are required to provide details of where you will be performing these practical tasks.

If you are performing practical assessments at your own property, you can provide your details (if you are the owner) or a parent (if they are the owner). If you are performing the practical tasks with a riding school, agistment center or at another property etc., provide the details of the owner or property manager.

The contact person will be given a ‘Memorandum of Understanding’ document. This will ensure that all parties are engaged and aware of their responsibilities and obligations during these practical tasks and the document will need to be signed by all parties.



Will you be performing the practical assessments at your own property?
