FAQ About the RSG Training in SA
Who needs an RSG certificate in SA?
If you work in any role that involves gaming machines at a licensed venue in SA, you legally need an RSG certificate. That covers a wide range of jobs across the gaming and hospitality industry.
Gaming attendants, gaming supervisors, casino dealers, TAB operators, and club receptionists working in gaming areas all need one. So do cashiers in gaming venues, gaming managers, and anyone in a licensee or directorial role at a venue with poker machines or other gambling facilities.
Basically, if gambling is part of your job in any way, you need it.
Is the RSG online?
Only face-to-face RSG courses are accepted in SA, and that is the case when you join training with Hospitality Courses Australia. Our in-person training gives you hands-on practice and direct access to a qualified trainer throughout the day.
What ID do I need to take to the training?
You need to bring a valid government-issued photo ID on the day, such as a driver’s licence, passport, or proof of age card. You’ll also need your USI. If you don’t have one yet, head to usi.gov.au and it takes a few minutes to set up.
What do I need to bring with me on training day?
Bringing the correct ID is essential. It’s one of the most important requirements on the day. Please review our ID Requirements section above before attending to make sure you have the right documents.
Other than that, just bring yourself. There’s no need for any special clothing or equipment, just wear something comfortable. All course materials are provided at the venue.
How long does the RSG course take?
The RSG course in SA takes 4 hours. It covers everything you need to know about responsible gambling services, including gaming machine laws, how to identify problem gambling, your legal obligations, and how to handle difficult situations on the floor. Make sure you’re free for both full days of training.
How long does my SA RSG certificate last?
Your SA RSG certificate doesn’t expire. Once you complete the course, you’ll receive a Statement of Attainment which is your official proof of certification. There’s no separate competency card, no interim certificate, and no renewal process.
That said, South Australia has a multi-level training structure. Gaming managers must complete RSG2 within 3 months of appointment, and RSG3 is required after that. So for most gaming staff the RSG is all you need, but if you move into a management role, additional training applies.
Can I use my SA RSG to work in other states?
Yes, in most cases. The course covers the national unit of competency SITHGAM022, which is recognised across QLD, WA, NT, SA, and TAS. If you hold an RSG in South Australia and move to any of those states, you can work there without redoing the course.
The two exceptions are NSW and VIC. NSW requires you to complete the RCG course, which is a separate NSW-specific qualification done face-to-face with a live trainer. VIC has its own RSG requirements, so it’s worth checking with the relevant state authority before working there. All other states and territories accept your SA certificate without any extra steps.
Is this course approved by the Consumer and Business Services (CBS)?
Yes. HCA is an accredited Registered Training Organisation (RTO) approved by the Consumer and Business Services (CBS) to deliver the RSG course. The training and certification we provide fully meets SA legal requirements. When you complete your course with us, you’ll receive an official Statement of Attainment recognised by licensed gaming venues across South Australia.
What if I fail the assessment?
If you don’t pass the assessment on your first attempt, you’ll have the opportunity to redo it. Our trainers are there to support you throughout the day, so if you’re struggling with any part of the material, please tell us and ask for help.
We want you to walk out with your certificate, and we’ll do what we can to make sure you’re set up to pass.
Language, Literacy and Numeracy Requirements
To complete the RSG course in SA, you’ll need a basic level of English language, literacy and numeracy. This makes sure you can follow the course content and fully take part in the training.
You must be able to:
- Read and understand written course materials, instructions, and short texts
- Write basic information, such as completing forms and short written answers
- Communicate clearly in English with the trainer and other participants
- Follow verbal instructions during activities and assessments
If English is your second language, you must have a level of English that allows you to fully participate in the course. If you’re unsure, please contact us and we can help assess whether this course is right for you.
