Do I need to complete a training course in the Responsible Service of Gaming (RSG) before I apply for a gaming industry employee's licence?

• Generally there is no requirement that a person complete RSG before they apply for a gaming industry employee’s licence.
• As an employee of a gaming venue you will need to complete an approved RSG course.
  • Often this must be completed within 6 months of the date you start work.
  • There are also rules about doing refresher courses after a certain number of years have passed.
  • You need to make sure you comply with these rules. You may not be able to continue to do your job if you are not up to date with your RSG.
• The law is different in each state and territory. You can use our Phone a Lawyer service for a preliminary legal consultation if you think you may need legal advice.
