We’re enabling vibrant and dynamic hospitality and racing environments that are safe and responsible, and our regulatory efforts are evidenced-informed, coordinated, and targeted to where the risks are greatest.

About the Role

As a Senior Casino Inspector, you'll play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and compliance of casino operations across NSW. Working within a dynamic regulatory environment, you'll undertake targeted, risk-based inspections and compliance activities, both on-site and through detailed desktop reviews, to ensure legislative and regulatory obligations are met.
