Our regulatory approach consists of licensing and approvals, education and engagement, monitoring and enforcement. Our purpose is to regulate Victoria's gambling industry to uphold safety, fairness and integrity for all.
The VGCCC is the independent regulator with overarching responsibility for licensing, compliance and enforcement for Victoria's gambling industry which operates under a Commission structure.
