You will need a recognised competency card to work in a licensed venue that operates gaming machines. To obtain a competency card, you must have graduated from a Responsible Conduct of Gambling (RCG) course delivered by an approved training organisation.
Gaming machines are only allowed in registered clubs and venues with a full hotel licence. You may require this card if your business or club operates gaming machines and you:
- are a licensee of a business
- work with gaming machines
- are a Responsible Gambling Officer
- are a club director
- are a director with an operational role in a company that owns hotels or clubs
- work as a crowd controller or bouncer
When you have completed your course you will be given an interim certificate. This certificate will allow you to work for a short period of time before you are required to order a photo competency card.
