ClubGRANTS Guidelines (NSW)

ClubGRANTS — community contribution calculation and reporting

NSW · Liquor & Gaming NSWTracks

Clubs with gaming machine profits above the threshold must contribute 1.5% to community projects and services via the ClubGRANTS scheme. Venue Axis surfaces the allocation number in the CEO board-pack; the scheme administration sits outside the platform.

Venue Axis is the evidence ledger only — it never actuates. Records that an external party did the action and surfaces freshness gaps.
Consequence of breach

What can go wrong.

Non-compliance with ClubGRANTS reporting may result in L&GNSW compliance action and reputational exposure.

Consequences are summarised from the underlying legislation. Specific penalties depend on the breach pattern, prior history, and the regulator's enforcement posture. Talk to a liquor and gaming lawyer for a definitive view of your venue's exposure.
