Queensland Racing Industry Support Program
ABOUT US
QRISP is always looking for ways to help thoroughbred racing industry people throughout Queensland, not just when there is a desperate need. Boosting morale and enhancing the well-being of our people is also one of our goals, encouraging them to enjoy things aways from racing for both themselves and their families.
Keep an eye on our website for upcoming events and activities, and for more information about how we can help, please see our menu options. Suggestions and ideas are also always welcome via our 'CONTACT US' link below.
Discounted Movie Tickets (Industry Support Initiative)
Exciting news, and just in time for the school holidays and Christmas!!
QRISP is offering all Qld Thoroughbred Racing Participants (Licensees) and Friends of the Racing Industry (Breeders, Owners, Staff of Clubs, Racing Qld & QRIC staff etc) the opportunity to purchase heavily discounted tickets to see a movie of your choice, at Event Cinemas.
Going to the cinemas is a great way to unwind and get away from the constant workload and stresses that come from working within the Racing Industry. QRISP wishes to encourage Industry Participants to maintain a healthy, happy and balanced lifestyle, and spending time with friends and loved ones away from racing is one way to do this. Usually its finding the time, or the expense, that gets in the way of these sort of leisure activities . QRISP is hoping if we help with the expense, you'll have more motivation to find the time...!!
QRISP has negotiated a great deal with Event Cinemas, and is subsidizing this further for Licensees. Ticket prices are:
- $5 per ticket (child/student/adult) for Licensees
- $15 per ticket (child/student/adult) for all other Industry Friends.
To purchase tickets, just contact Cameron via:
email - qrispinfo@gmail.com
text - 0433329395 (if needing tickets urgently)
Please advise how many tickets you want and then deposit the funds to:
Acc name Licensees Assistance Association (QRISP)
BSB # 484799
Ac # 084333357
These passes are available to see any movie, any time, at Event Cinemas, which are in locations all across Queensland. Importantly the deal QRISP has negotiated, also allows use of the tickets at the popular Friday and Saturday night sessions (discounted tickets are usually void during these times).
After bank transfer, your tickets will be emailed, in most cases within a few hours of your request. You can just turn up at the cinema with your ticket email confirmation or go online and book with the voucher number and pin code (if you book you will be charged a $1.75 booking fee though). Trainers - a suggestion - these tickets could be great staff rewards and incentives!!
QRISP will moderate the $5 tickets as required (just submit your request), however there is no limit on the $15 Friends of our Industry Tickets.
*** Important***
If you are a Licensee in a location that isn't reasonably close to an Event Cinema (eg within 100km), QRISP doesn't want you to miss out. IF you have a local cinema just go there and email us the receipt. We will gladly reimburse you the cost of tickets minus the $5 per ticket. You can avail of this option for you and your immediate family up to twice per year. Please contact Cameron directly to arrange this.
We hope you enjoy this great initiative. Keep an eye on the website and newly created QRISP Facebook page for other initiatives in 2026.
2025 QRISP Christmas BBQ Grants
QRISP would like to encourage QLD Thoroughbred training precincts to get together and celebrate the Christmas and end of year season.
The offering of QRISP Christmas BBQ grants in 2024 was very successful, with 11 regional locations taking up the financial support on offer by QRISP (see 2024 Christmas BBQ page for photos).
Whether a small or large group, coming together for a trackwork breakfast or afternoon BBQ is a great way to encourage goodwill and friendships amongst our racing participants. QRISP is therefore offering financial support similar to that on offer in 2024, for training precincts wishing to organise a get together in the lead up to this Christmas.
To apply, please email Cameron Partington using the below link or call on 0433329395.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from your QRISP Committee




Mental Health Support Programs
Unfortunately racing industry participants are not immune to mental health challenges. However, many of you may not be aware there are dedicated Mental Health Support Programs in place to offer racing industry participants access to free and confidential counselling and mental health supports. Please take a look at the new QRISP Mental Health Support page (via the menu or button below), to see details of what is offered and how to access these supports.
Caloundra Unit - Weekly Holiday Letting
QRISP owns and operates a fantastic 2-bedroom holiday unit at Caloundra. This unit is available for all thoroughbred racing industry participants to book, not just those needing assistance. Our unit is available for everyone to have the opportunity of a beach getaway.
The unit is able to be booked for weekly stays (except during the Christmas/New Year and Easter holiday periods), by thoroughbred racing industry participants to use with their families. The cost to stay at the unit for thoroughbred racing industry participants is at a hugely discounted rate of just $300/wk (usually approx $1600 per week).
Please click on the Caloundra Holiday Unit button below, for further details including checking availability and how to book.
A huge thankyou to our supporters
