"Elissa continues to make positive progress each day."
The latest update followed last week's announcement that Meredith had been transferred to the rehabilitation ward at John Hunter Hospital after making "positive progress".
On July 4, Meredith was riding the Clint Lundholm-trained Starlink when the horse fell in race five at Gunnedah.
She was placed in an induced coma at hospital.
Dubbo-based Llundholm began a fundraiser to assist his apprentice in her recovery, while a GoFundMe page set up for Meredith had raised $37,500.
