Policies & Regulations

It is the members and visitors at the Greensborough RSL that make the club a success and so, in turn, the club takes a very serious view of its responsibilities to its patrons and the community. The RSL have set in place its own policies and regulations to maintain the safety and security of its facilities, and that of its patrons, as well as adhering to the laws governing its operation. All members and visitors are asked to abide by these regulations and policies, and to follow all directions given by staff and management.

The Club’s policy is to serve members and guests with alcoholic beverages in a professional, responsible and friendly manner. The Australian community and governments take alcohol-related issues such as drink driving and violence very seriously, and so does the RSL

Responsible Service of Gaming

Responsible gambling occurs in a regulated environment where the potential for harm associated with gambling is minimised and people make informed decisions about their participation in gambling.  Responsible gambling occurs as a result of the collective actions and shared ownership by individuals, communities, the gambling industry and Government to achieve outcomes that are socially responsible and responsive to community concerns
The Greensborough RSL aim to provide an environment that:

• Ensures the integrity and fairness of games,
• Ensures the probity of those involved in the conduct of gaming machine gambling; and
• Minimises the potential harm for gaming machine gambling
