Notice to Industry - GAP and Admin Office
GRSA has fundamental responsibilities in relation to the safety of its staff and the preservation of racing opportunities for our registered trainers and connections. Within the context of rapidly rising positive Covid cases in SA, we are taking all reasonable steps to mitigate the risk of Covid-related issues, including the temporary minimisation and movement of office staff and separate efforts to limit contact between our operational teams. The Government is currently urging workplaces to mitigate the risk of Covid infections and to limit staff attendance to essential activity.
From December 30 (tomorrow), the reception function for GRSA and GAP will be undertaken remotely. We anticipate that this will not substantially impact our ability to receive calls and convey messages, but will obviously remove the physical presence of receptionists at Angle Park. We encourage people to limit their contact with GRSA or GAP to phone or email in the short term as we continue to monitor the unfolding situation. During this period, please contact GAP on 0437 527 633 and GRSA Admin on 8243 7100.
Additionally, the hardcopy production and distribution of form guides for GRSA meetings will be temporarily suspended, albeit that all of our standard form guide information will remain readily available online.
Our actions in this regard are motivated by concerns for the safety of our people, and an objective of protecting our ongoing opportunity to race to the greatest extent possible. We ask for understanding and patience as this situation continues to throw up new challenges. We will continue to provide updates as relevant.
