The secretary or manager of a registered club must, within 2 years after becoming the secretary or manager, complete the course "Board Governance, the Company Secretary and the General Manager" conducted by or for The Club Managers Association of Australia. The duty does not apply to a person who is also a member of the governing body (typically because cl.22 or cl.23 already covers them).
Working draft, not legal advice
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.
Same enforcement mechanism as cl.22/cl.23 — no express clause-level penalty (consistent with 2015 cl.27 predecessor). Reg Clubs Act 1976 Part 6A disciplinary regime via s.57F(3)(d). Disciplinary powers under s.57H(2) against the secretary/manager: monetary penalty up to 100 PU (s.57H(2)(a1)), removal from office (s.57H(2)(f)), ineligibility declaration as secretary (s.57H(2)(g)). The club may also face s.57H(2)(a) up to 2,500 PU and s.57H(2)(e) condition variation if the appointment was knowingly non-compliant.
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.
