Problem Gambling Awareness Training - Online
5 December 2023
The Gambling (Harm Prevention and Minimisation) Amendment Regulations 2023 introduce new training requirements for venues that operate Class 4 Gaming.
At Clubs New Zealand we are committed to host responsibility and providing club committees, management and staff with the tools, resources and knowledge that enables them to build a culture of care.
This online offering of the Problem Gambling Awareness Training is aimed at club management, committee and staff who were unable to attend the face to face training in your area or who need to complete training before they first begin supervising gambling in the course of their duties.
While this online course is compliant with the regulations and features interactive sessions we recommend that you attend the next available face to face training in your area to ensure that you are meeting the Department of Internal Affairs best practice guidance.
