Australian Jockeys Association

Australian Jockeys Association The Australian Jockeys Association was incorporated in 2005 and represents jockeys across Australia via a State-based Association system.

After some discussion between the state jockey associations in late 2001, there was a general consensus that a national body for jockeys should be established. Up until this time the states were functioning independently and endeavouring to resolve issues and concerns without input and assistance from other states. It was clear to all that often there was duplication of effort and poor economies o

f scale. Several of the state associations were poorly resourced and unable to properly represent their members. The objectives of the AJA are:

To raise the profile of Jockeys as elite professional athletes;
Promote safety, industrial health and education;
Negotiate for and develop Australia wide protection, including
Insurance, particularly Public Liability,
Superannuation, and a
Retirement Fund

The AJA was incorporated in 2005 and represents jockeys across Australia via a State-based Association system. Each state association is incorporated in its own right and with the national peak body.

April 8th 2017 will always be remembered as one of the darkest days for Australian jockeys in the modern era.

During trackwork at Toowoomba two former jockeys, Ben Saunders and Wade Clasohm fell and both suffered paraplegia injuries.

That same afternoon there was a terrible accident at Warialda races which claimed the life of much -loved senior jockey Darren Jones.
Apprentice Mel Bolwell was air-lifted to hospital with significant brain trauma injuries, fortunately Mel is making good progress and hopes to return to riding soon.
In that same incident Leanne Henry suffered a shoulder injury.

More importantly every jockey at Warialda, every jockey in NSW and every jockey in Australia lost a friend in Darren Jones.

Our thoughts are today with Darren's family, and they are with the families of Ben & Wade. Our thoughts are with all jockeys who rode at Warialda on Saturday 8th April 2017.
