Collect the following documents to submit with your licence application:

• a credit report issued by a national credit reporting body within the last three months. 
  (Your name and date of birth on the credit report must exactly match the official name on your birth certificate, or any name change documents issued since then – like a marriage or deed poll certificate.)
• an overseas police certificate issued within the past six months if you have moved to Australia within the past twelve months.
• proof of eligibility to work in Australia – this could include a birth certificate, passport or citizenship certificate for Australian and New Zealand citizens or valid working visa for non-Australian citizens.
• photo identification like your passport, Australian driver licence or an Australian Government issued photo card.
• the last Australian income tax return you have lodged and the notice of assessment, or the overseas equivalent.
• proof of change of name documentation like your marriage or deed poll certificate, if applicable.
• any court records relating to any present or past civil or criminal court proceedings to which you are or were a part, if applicable. 
  (A criminal check will be required by your employer after submission so all criminal charges and guilty verdicts must be disclosed with your application. Findings of guilt do not automatically disqualify you from being issued with a licence but are handled on a risk assessment basis.)
• current New South Wales security licence – where applicable.

Complete the two forms below once you've collected and scanned all your relevant documentation and submit your application online.

1. Complete CAS00A Probity form for a casino special employee licence. You need an authorised witness to sign the statutory declaration.
2. Complete the Casino special employee online application and attach a copy of all your scanned documents and your completed, signed, and scanned probity form.

​Criminal history check

A criminal history check is required for all casino special employee applicants. This may require you to provide finger and palm prints. If you are employed by a casino, your employer will arrange this. All criminal charges and guilty verdicts must be disclosed with your application. Findings of guilt do not automatically disqualify you from being issued with a licence – they will be risk assessed.
