The ClubGRANTS 2025 Webinar, hosted by Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW) on 25 February 2025, provided clubs with essential updates and clarifications on the ClubGRANTS scheme.
The session outlined compliance requirements, clarified reporting obligations and addressed key concerns raised by clubs regarding funding eligibility and decision-making processes.
Key Takeaways:
- ClubGRANTS Website Update – The website has been enhanced for better accessibility and clearer guidance on funding eligibility.
- School Funding Eligibility – While schools were not explicitly ineligible before, clubs must now ensure funding aligns with the scheme's objectives.
- Role of Committees – Local committees cannot veto or reject Category 1 applications; they serve only in an advisory capacity.
- Committee Requirement – A local committee is mandatory if Category 1 funding exceeds $30,000. If a committee cannot be formed, clubs must document their decision-making process.
- Decision-Making Transparency – Clubs should maintain clear records of their funding decisions and use the ClubGRANTS portal templates for consistency.
- Key Deadlines – 15 October 2025 (reporting deadline for ClubGRANTS submissions) and 31 August (last date to receive funding to qualify for rebates).
- Financial and Record-Keeping Obligations:
- Clubs must allocate at least 0.75 per cent of gaming revenue to Category 1 services.
- Supporting records must be retained for five years to meet compliance standards.
