Upcoming Sessions

Tuesday 9 & Wednesday 10 April, 9:00am - 3:00pm at Karuah RSL


Requirements and Course Inclusions

All directors need to complete two core training modules within 12 months of being elected to a club’s board.  The requirements are scaled according to club size so that:

  • Clubs with annual gaming machine revenue of greater than $1 million - all directors are required to complete the core training modules
  • Clubs that are below this threshold need to ensure that at least two of its directors complete the core training modules – best practice is to encourage all board members to complete this training to ensure a better understanding of financial literacy and directors duties.

Mandatory Director Training is made up of two core training modules:

  • Director Foundation & Management Collaboration: Directors, CEOs and emerging leaders learn about the complex role and responsibilities of a director, as well as important aspects of good corporate governance. Understanding of legislation, strategic and succession planning as well as compliance requirements, are essential elements for directors.
  • Finance for Club Boards: Financial literacy is a key skill for directors and CEOs in the governance and management of their clubs. To make smart board decisions, directors need to understand balance sheets, profit and loss statements, cash flow budgets and key industry ratios. Participants are shown the importance of aligning financial reporting to strategic planning.

However, it is recommended as best practice to complete the course as a refresher. To be eligible for exemption, there needs to be sufficient evidence of the knowledge and skills required for good corporate governance. Directors will need to provide documentation and complete an online assessment to demonstrate competence. 

Directors are required to maintain records of core training modules they have completed as they may form part of the L&GNSW regular compliance audits of clubs.
