Jockey Duties & Salary in Australia

In Australia, a Jockey is a professional horse racing athlete responsible for riding and guiding racehorses to victory. They play a crucial role in the highly competitive world of horse racing. One exciting fact about Australian jockeys is that the country has a rich horse racing culture, with famous events like the Melbourne Cup, held in Flemington, Melbourne, being among the most prestigious horse races in the world.

Main duties of Australian jockeys include collaborating with trainers and stable staff to prepare horses for races, studying racecourses to develop race strategies, and maintaining a strict diet and fitness regimen to meet weight requirements. They also need to build strong relationships with horse owners and trainers to secure quality rides.

Key skills and experience required for Australian jockeys include exceptional riding skills, a deep understanding of horse behavior, and a thorough knowledge of racing rules and regulations. Experience gained through apprenticeships and on-the-job training is vital for aspiring jockeys.

In Australia, jockeys earn a salary range between AUD 30,000 to AUD 200,000 annually, depending on their experience, reputation, and the number of winning races. The expected hourly rate for Australian jockeys varies but can range from AUD 50 to AUD 500 per hour.

* Please note that the salary figures may vary based on experience & location. Salary figures & rate ranges last updated Nov 2023.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a great gig listing?

The gig is a defined task, with a pre-determined outcome. If you ensure your scope of expected work is detailed, with a level of quality specified, this will reduce any miscommunication/misinterpretation when gig workers review.

Why should I use gigexchange?

We are the only marketplace in the world offering all ways of working & advertising. Our services include the gig economy, conventional job advertisements, volunteering opportunities as well allowing you to promote and advertise your personal or business services. We are determined to drive down the cost of business. Increase opportunities for all. We call this empowering the win-win.

Are there any fees associated to cancellations, refunds and disputes?

See our terms & conditions relating to fees in our pay section on the Help Centre.

What happens if gigexchange receives a dispute from a credit card company?

The gigexchange will get in touch (usually by email) to discuss the disputed payment. It may be that the dispute is the result of a misunderstanding. If that is the case, it is important to contact your card issuer and tell them that you are no longer disputing the transaction. gigexchange will follow its internal dispute process and liaise with Stripe until resolution.

Are gig workers verified? Can I trust them?

All gig workers must be identity verified by Stripe when registering as a gig worker. This adds an additional level of trust to our platform. Because we offer a reputation service, you can also see all historical work conducted by the worker. This quickly builds trust within the marketplace, but also removes fraudsters and scammers. Any behaviour that breaches our platform standards results in those worker being removed from our platform.
