Easing the Compliance Stress

ADVERTISING

The regulatory landscape of clubs is complex and subject to change. It is important to be aware and prepared for changes within the compliance and regulatory framework to underpin a vibrate and sustainable industry.

As the Compliance & Assurance Leads for ClubSAFE, David Cherry and Mitch Bathis travel throughout NSW to assist member clubs in providing safe and compliant licensed premises.

In our experience and interaction with member clubs, it is clear that venues are aware of the importance of their compliance obligations.

Well-managed compliance minimises the risk of enforcement action, which can have a significant financial, operational and reputational impact on the club. To support members in such a dynamic regulatory environment, ClubsNSW offers three tiers in the ClubSAFE program.

ClubSAFE Standard

To comply with the requirements to provide gaming self-exclusion and counselling to patrons.

ClubSAFE+

The addition of online training for directors, managers and staff across AML/CTF, responsible gambling and licensing compliance. Members of ClubSAFE+ can purchase Advanced RCG training sessions at a cost far below that of other providers.

ClubSAFE Premium

Providing members with face-to-face training, compliance assurance services and a number of Advanced RCG training sessions included.

“Our ClubSAFE Premium membership has made compliance easier than ever,” said Ballina RSL Operations Support Manager Mitya Castillo.

“The ClubSAFE team are always available to support us with our enquiries and their support has significantly eased the stress of operating in such a challenging industry.”

Massey Park Golf Club Secretary Manager Patrick Cullen said: “We have experienced remarkable benefits as a ClubSAFE+ member. The comprehensive online training has been instrumental in preparing our staff and directors with the capabilities necessary to ensure compliance.”
