RSPCA Tasmania welcomes appointment of Sean Carroll as inaugural Racing Integrity Commissioner

RSPCA Tasmania welcomes Mr. Carroll’s appointment as Tasmania’s first Racing Integrity Commissioner understanding that his experience stands him in excellent stead to provide the independence and oversight necessary to bring transparency and integrity to racing.

RSPCA Tasmania particularly welcomes the Commissioner’s extensive powers to set animal welfare standards and conduct thorough investigations. Mr. Carroll has already expressed his intention to engage directly with industry participants and stakeholders to understand their needs and challenges—a collaborative approach we wholeheartedly support.

RSPCA Tasmania is committed to advocating for the highest standards of animal welfare. We are optimistic that Mr. Carroll’s appointment and the broader reforms will contribute to a more transparent, ethical, and animal welfare-focused racing sector.

RSPCA Tasmania looks forward to engaging with Mr. Carroll and the broader industry as these reforms are implemented, ensuring that the welfare of racing animals remains a priority.
