The Commission will only recognise courses that deliver the national competency SITHGAM022 - Provide responsible gambling services conducted by an approved Registered Training Organisation (RTO), as prerequisite training for special employee licences.

In addition, to maintain the responsible conduct of gambling competency, every special employee is required to undertake a RCG course with a registered training organisation every five years.​

Training organisations delivering RCG

The following is a list of RTOs delivering RCG courses approved by the Commission. These RTOs receive regular updates on legislation and policy from the Commission.

Employer responsibilities

If you​ are involved in the conduct of gambling in a venue in Tasmania, your employer will be required to keep a record to show that you are competent and have been trained to use any gaming equipment you interact with or operate.

Copies of your most current certificate will need to be provided to your employer. The Commission do​es not need a record of your RCG certificate.​

Your employer will be responsible for any training needs you have.​​

​Staff register

The Commission's General Control System Standards require licence holders to maintain, on the premises, an up-to-date record of all its employees who interact with patrons participating in gaming and wagering.

The record must include the following:

• employee's name
• date of commencement of employment
• date five years from the date of issue of the employee's RCG qualification (RCG expiry date)

Records may be kept electronically, provided they can be produced to an Inspector on request.​​​
