Its Strategic Purpose states the following:

Our charter under the Racing and Wagering Western Australia Act 2003 is to:

1. Foster the development, promote the welfare, and ensure the integrity of metropolitan and country thoroughbred racing, harness racing and greyhound racing, in the interests of the long-term viability of the racing industry in Western Australia; and

2. Carry on the business of operating an off-course totalisator wagering service on races and certain sporting and other events trading as the TAB.

In performing our functions, we must act in accordance with prudent commercial principles and endeavour to make a profit.

Free the Hounds feels when there is such a strong commercial strategy, where an organisation is self regulated, robust animal welfare cannot be compatible with its intent.
