Media representatives seeking to officiate at Victorian thoroughbred race meetings require accreditation which entitles access to restricted areas within the racecourse. Racing Victoria is responsible for accrediting Journalists and Photographers for all Victorian thoroughbred race meetings, excluding some selected Spring Racing Carnival meetings for which media accreditation is managed by the host Club. The application process for representatives seeking media accreditation for the 2023-24 racing season, being the period from 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2024, differs between Journalists and Photographers. Media seeking accreditation to officiate at a Victorian thoroughbred race meeting should follow the appropriate links below for instructions on how to apply.
