Responsible Conduct of Gambling (RCG)
It is a condition of every special employee licence that the individual must undertake a Responsible Conduct of Gambling course approved by the Tasmanian Gaming Commission within three months of being licensed.
The Responsible Conduct of Gambling course involves a thorough knowledge of the Tasmanian Gambling Exclusion Scheme. Information regarding the scheme and the online database is available here.

Changes to the Responsible Conduct of Gambling course
From 1 July 2010, the Commission will only recognize courses that deliver the national competency SITHGAM006A - Provide Responsible Gambling Services conducted by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), as a prerequisite training for special employee licences.
The Commission has determined that for the time being it will continue to recognise the qualifications of special employees who have completed Tasmanian Hospitality Association (THA) – formerly AHA, or Tasmanian Skills Institute- formerly TAFE Drysdale Institute, courses.
The Commission has proposed that all special employees be retrained in the new course once their existing RCG qualification (received by way of the current THA or Skills Institute course) is more than five years old, with these special employees having 12 months to upgrade to the SITHGAM006A course. The table below outlines the Commission’s proposal.
Date of RCG Course | Mandatory requalification period |
Prior to 1 July 2005 | 1 July 2010 – 30 June 2011 |
1 July 2005 – 30 June 2006 | 1 July 2011 – 30 June 2012 |
1 July 2006 – 30 June 2007 | 1 July 2012 – 30 June 2013 |
1 July 2007 – 30 June 2008 | 1 July 2013 – 30 June 2014 |
1 July 2008 – 30 June 2009 | 1 July 2014 – 30 June 2015 |
1 July 2009 – 30 June 2010 | 1 July 2015 – 30 June 2016 |
In addition, to maintain the responsible conduct of gambling competency, every special employee will be required to undertake a Responsible Conduct of Gambling course with a registered training orgainisation every five years.
