Club operations are amongst the most dynamic and topical sectors of the hospitality industry and are the main revenue producing areas in casinos and registered clubs in most Australian states. The substantial revenue derived from gambling has resulted in accelerating growth in the size, scope and number of establishments both nationally and internationally. In an increasingly competitive environment, a range of managerial skills and operational knowledge is required to effectively manage club operations to provide customers with facilities and services which meet their needs, adhere to legal requirements, provide adequate security and recognise the social and economic impacts of gaming.
