Online Wagering Draft 1 Consultation- Perth

SkillsIQ, under the direction of the Client Services Industry Reference Committee (IRC), is undertaking a project to develop a new Unit of Competency to address the responsible provision of online wagering services.

On 28 April, 2016, the Commonwealth Government released its response to the Review of Illegal Offshore Wagering (the Review). The Review found that strong and nationally consistent consumer protections need to be introduced to address the rise in online gambling harm and the increased convenience of online wagering.

At the core of the Government’s response to the Review, is a National Consumer Protection Framework for Online Wagering in Australia (the National Framework). A key consumer protection measure under the National Framework is the development of an online training module, which will aim to educate employees of Australian-licensed online wagering providers on the responsible provision of online wagering services.

The development of the Unit of Competency CHCFIN005 Provide responsible online wagering services has been commissioned to form the basis of this national training for employees of Australian-licensed online wagering services.
