What an assessment for RGRTRK402 must cover
32 assessable components: 4 elements (14 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 5 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.
Elements & performance criteria
1 Relate animal physiology to environmental conditions
- 1.1Research animal cooling mechanisms and relate efficiency to ambient temperature and humidity
- 1.2Investigate influence of other climatic conditions on animal performance
2 Relate animal performance to common racing veterinary conditions
- 2.1Investigate impact of digestive, respiratory and nervous distress and illnesses on animal performance
- 2.2Connect common racing veterinary conditions to track and environmental conditions
3 Relate animal injuries and performance to track design and surfaces
- 3.1Determine relationship between track camber and tightness of turns to performance injuries
- 3.2Review relationship between track density and track materials to performance injuries
- 3.3Relate grading, mowing and watering techniques to animal performance
- 3.4Determine the impact of weather on track surfaces and animal performance
4 Evaluate track and environmental conditions and options to improve animal performance and safety
- 4.1Measure track density and moisture content and interpret results using standard industry tools
- 4.2Measure ambient temperature and humidity and interpret results
- 4.3Determine track rating using industry standard definitions
- 4.4Analyse options for improving track conditions for optimal greyhound or horse performance and safety
- 4.5Analyse overall weather conditions to determine whether racing can continue
- 4.6Submit justification for adjusting or not adjusting track or environmental conditions to stakeholders
Performance evidence
- researched information on animal physiology, performance and injuries
- determined track ratings and condition using basic technology for two race tracks
- analysed relationship between animal injuries and performance to track design and surfaces for three animals or realistic case studies
- evaluated track and environmental conditions and options to improve animal performance and safety for three animals or realistic case studies
Knowledge evidence
- animal cooling mechanisms and factors that affect hydration status of racing animals
- clinical signs in racing animals of common veterinary conditions related to: digestive, respiratory and nervous systems; lameness
- climatic conditions impacting on track condition and animal performance, and relevant rules of racing and animal welfare relating to weather conditions
- features of track construction and design impacting on animal performance
- track ratings and condition and impact on animals, including: track camber and tightness of turns; track materials and density; grading or mowing and watering techniques
- types and purpose of equipment for measuring environmental and track conditions, and procedures for their operation and maintenance
- process for determining track ratings
- factors to consider for adjusting or not adjusting track or environmental conditions, including: animals; general public; image of racing; options that are feasible or not feasible within time available, budget or resource constraints
- racing industry standards and expectations relevant to track and environmental conditions, including: workplace health and safety and environmental requirements; animal welfare requirements
Foundation skills
- Reading: Consolidate, interpret and critically analyse technical information from a range of industry sources to determine findings
- Numeracy: Interpret results obtained from measuring track and environmental conditions using industry tools and equipment
- Navigate the world of work: Follow racing industry regulations and workplace procedures, including safety and animal welfare requirements, and meet expectations relating to own role and area of responsibility
- Interact with others: Follow racing industry protocols and practices when communicating with stewards, racing officials, and licensed and registered personnel
- Get the work done: Collect and analyse evidence systematically, justifying decision-making processes and outcomes

Questions about assessing RGRTRK402
What does an assessment tool for RGRTRK402 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for RGRTRK402 needs to address all 32 unit components: 4 elements with 14 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 9 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.
How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for RGRTRK402?
Auditori pulls the current release of RGRTRK402 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.
Is the first assessment tool really free?
Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for RGRTRK402 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing RGRTRK402 assessment instead of generating a new one?
Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of RGRTRK402, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
