Each member of the governing body of a registered club that is not a "small club" must, within 12 months after becoming a member of the governing body, become a fully trained member by completing the prescribed ClubsNSW courses or NVR-RTO units of competency. Cl.21 defines "small club" as a registered club for which annual profit from gaming machines does not exceed $1 million; clubs above that threshold fall under cl.22.

The plain-English summary above is drafted by Venue Axis as a navigation aid. The citation is the authoritative source — treat it as the definitive reference. For a legal interpretation of this obligation in your venue's context, talk to your counsel.
No express penalty at cl.22 (consistent with the bare-clause pattern carried over from Reg Clubs Reg 2015 cl.26 — predecessor in force ~10 years without a penalty cell). Enforcement under Reg Clubs Act 1976 Part 6A (Disciplinary action). Authority complaint under s.57F(3)(d) ("contravened a provision of this Act or the regulations") → disciplinary powers under s.57H(2): individual director — monetary penalty up to 100 penalty units (s.57H(2)(a1)), removal from office (s.57H(2)(f)), ineligibility declaration (s.57H(2)(g) read with s.57J procedure); club — monetary penalty up to 2,500 penalty units (s.57H(2)(a)), licence-condition variation (s.57H(2)(e)), licence suspension or cancellation (s.57H(2)(b)/(c)), administrator appointment (s.57H(2)(h)). Schedule 1 Note 2 of the 2025 Regulation expressly anchors regulation contraventions to Part 6A. Liquor Act 2007 Part 9 disciplinary track is also available against the club in its capacity as a liquor licensee per Note to Part 6A header.
Consequences are summarised from the underlying legislation. Specific penalties depend on the breach pattern, prior history, and the regulator's enforcement posture. Talk to a liquor and gaming lawyer for a definitive view of your venue's exposure.
