Gaming industry employee’s licences are valid for 10 years, unless they have been cancelled or surrendered. The expiry date is printed on the front of your licence.
Your employer will want to see your licence before you commence work in a gaming venue. Gaming venue operators have access to an online service to check if your licence is current.
About two months before your licence is due to expire, the VGCCC will send you a notification that explains the process for renewing.
If you don’t receive this notification, it may be because you haven’t updated your address with the VGCCC. See Update your details for more information.
The time to assess your application and issue a licence varies. If there’s no follow up required, the licence may be issued within two to three weeks.
However, your application could be delayed if you do not provide sufficient information or the VGCCC requires further investigation. In this situation, VGCCC staff won’t be able to guarantee when your licence will be issued. If there's follow up required, you'll receive a letter with details and what is required.
You'll be advised in writing of the VGCCC's decision on your application as soon as it occurs.
Provided your application to renew your licence was submitted before your licence expired, you may continue to work as a gaming industry employee until the new licence is issued.
If your licence expires, you won't be able to renew that licence or perform the duties of a gaming industry employee.
If you still require a licence to perform the duties of a gaming industry employee, you'll need to make a new application as if you were applying for the first time.
Follow the step-by-step guide on how to renew your gaming industry employee licence.
