Community Benefit Fund
The Community Benefit Fund was established to provide funding support for gambling-related research and amelioration programs concerned with problem gambling, as well as community benefit grants which provide assistance for general community development and improvement purposes.
Section 68A of the Gaming Control Act, provides that:
1. the Director (of Licensing) must maintain in the Agency’s Operating Account a fund to be known as the
Community Benefit Fund; and
2. Moneys in the Community Benefit Fund are to be applied for the following purposes:
a. research into gambling activity, including the social and economic impact of gambling on individuals, families
and the community;
b. promotion of community awareness and education in respect of problem gambling and provision of
counselling, rehabilitation and support services for problem gamblers and their families in the Territory;
c. funding of community projects and services of benefit to communities throughout the Territory; and
d. management and administrative support of the Fund.
The Fund receives a 10 percent levy on player loss from electronic gaming machines in licensed hotels, unclaimed prizes paid to the Director of Licensing and proceeds from items forfeited under the Gaming Control Act. Each year the Minister for Racing, Gaming and Licensing determines how this money will be distributed by the fund in terms
of gambling amelioration, small and major community organisation grants and administration.
Two rounds of small community organisation grants and vehicle gifting / long term loans are conducted every year, as well as one round of gambling amelioration and major community organisation grants. Each round is advertised in local papers throughout the Territory.
The assessment of these applications is the responsibility of the Community Benefit Committee (‘the Committee’) which has been established by the Minister for Racing, Gaming and Licensing to advise and assist the Minister in the operation of the Fund.
The Committee also advises the Minister about the obligations of licensed clubs throughout the Territory to provide
direct community benefit contributions to their local communities, as required under the Gaming Machine Act. Under the Gaming Control Act, the Director of Licensing may approve funding for gambling-related research.
Administrative Responsibility
Under the Gaming Control Act (the Act), the Director of Licensing (the Director) has responsibility to maintain the Community Benefit Fund (CBF). The Director’s duties in relation to the CBF can be broadly summarised as follows:
• maintain the CBF in the agency operating account;
• determine the revenue of the CBF through assessing gaming machine levy;
• monitor and report on club community contributions; and
• approve funds for gambling related research.
Community and Justice Policy in the Department of Justice is responsible for the coordination, management and administration of the program. This includes secretariat and executive support to the Committee as well as promoting the program within the wider community. The secretariat is also responsible for the management of amelioration support and research activities, overall fund administration and general reporting of the program activities and progress to Government and other stakeholders.
The operation of the program is undertaken with the assistance of the Grants Governance Unit in the Department of Justice, which processes all applications in preparation for assessment, the preparation of agreements, payments, acquittal correspondence and documentation.
Licensing inspectors in the Department of Justice are responsible for ensuring returns are provided by each club and checking that contributions claimed on the returns are eligible.
Committee Membership and Meetings
In establishing the Community Benefit Fund Committee, it has been determined that the Committee is to comprise of at least three community representatives and three officers from government agencies.
Community members of the Committee are appointed in an honorary capacity by the Minister. Nominal fees for attending Committee activities may be paid at the discretion of the Minister. Community members are also entitled to reimbursement for out of pocket expenses in meeting obligations arising from participation in Committee activities, consistent with normal government policy.
During 2011-12 the following members served on the CBF Committee for the periods listed below. The three year appointments for all committee members expired on 6 April 2012.

The Committee met on three occasions during 2011-12. New committee members were appointed in July 2012.
Changes to Regional Names and/or Boundaries
During 2011-12 a review of regional boundaries and names was undertaken. There were several changes resulting from this review:
1. the NT Wide region was previously for any application that serviced more than one region. In many cases it did not service the entire Northern Territory, so it was deemed that “Multi Region” was a more accurate description.
2. Darwin and Darwin Regional areas were combined so that applicants which service both Darwin and
Palmerston will not be classified as multi region.
3. Some region names were changed to be more inclusive of surrounding areas.
Below is a list of the changes:
• Darwin and Darwin Regional regions were combined and renamed Northern region;
• East Arnhem, Tiwi Islands, Jabiru and Maningrida were combined and renamed Arnhem region;
• Alice Springs was renamed Central region;
• Tennant Creek was renamed Barkly region; and
• Northern Territory wide was renamed Multi region.
Industry Contribution to Community Benefit Fund
The gambling industry is a major contributor to the Northern Territory economy, with significant investment, employment and taxation revenue effects. It is also a key element in the broader recreational, hospitality and tourism sectors.
However, the industry carries the potential for significant negative social consequences as a direct result of problem gambling aspects, particularly in regard to the operation of electronic gaming machines. To establish a responsible and balanced position for the industry, government requires that this sector of the gambling industry contributes to measures to address the adverse effects it created and more generally, to improve the broader community environment within which the machines operate.
The required industry contribution is achieved in two ways:
1. through the imposition of a Community Benefit Fund levy on the electronic gaming machine takings from licensed hotels; and
2. by direct support to community improvement and development by licensed clubs operating electronic gaming machines.
Community Benefit Fund Levy - Licensed Hotels
The Fund is established under the Gaming Control Act to consolidate and manage the Community Benefit Fund levy collected from the operation of electronic gaming machines in licensed hotels. Funding is directed to specific areas of activity as specified in the legislation.
Community Support Contributions – Licensed Clubs
As part of the arrangements for allowing gaming machines in community venues, clubs are required to make contributions to the local community and report those contributions on a regular basis. Guidelines exist to clarify what can be legitimately reported as a contribution.
Section 68B(2)(b) of the Gaming Control Act requires the Community Benefit Fund Committee ‘to monitor the
contribution that clubs that are licensees under the Gaming Machine Act make to the community’.
In 2011-12, community support contributions from licensed clubs totalled $2.81 million, equating to 11.0% of net gaming machine revenue received. This represents an increase of 1.1% over the 2010-11 community support contributions, which totalled $2.47 million, equating to 9.93% of net gaming machine revenue received.
(Table 5 refers)
Operation of the Fund
Performance Targets
The following performance targets were set for 2011-12:
• 100% accuracy of grant payments processed; and
• 100% specified grant timeframes met.
Both performance targets were achieved during 2011-12.
Gambling Amelioration Grants
The Gambling Amelioration Grants Program was established to support interventions that reduce problem gambling and minimise the harms that result from gambling. Interventions can range from community awareness and education through to the provision of counselling, rehabilitation or support services for problem gamblers and
their families.
In 2011-12, four organisations were funded a total of $169,905 to continue their 2010-11 programs for a further two
months, as follows:
• Amity Community Services Incorporated received funding of $116,573 to enable the continuation of its gambling intervention service and education program, individual assessment and counselling, maintenance of its website and the Gambling Counselling Helpline as well as an Indigenous Gambling Intervention Service Network;
• Anglicare NT received funding of $28,333 to continue its integrated problem gambling service (harm minimisation program) in Darwin and Alice Springs including addictions and financial counselling as well as ongoing review, evaluation and improvement to its existing program;
• Waltja Tjutangku Palyapayi in Alice Springs received funding of $8,333 for the continuation of Stage 2 of the Wise Use of Money workshops. The workshops target 19 remote communities in the Alice Springs region and supports families to gain skills in governance and money management; and
• Somerville Community Services received funding of $16,666 to continue its problem gambling financial
counselling service in Darwin and Palmerston.
In addition to the above extended grants, two new grants were approved in 2011-12, totalling $885,600, as follows:
• Amity Community Services Incorporated received funding of $785,600 to continue their gambling intervention service and education program, individual assessment and counselling, maintenance of its website and the Gambling Counselling Helpline as well as an Indigenous Gambling Intervention Service Network for a further twelve months; and
• Somerville Community Services received funding of $100,000 to continue its problem gambling financial
counselling service in Darwin and Palmerston for a further twelve months.
The Department of Justice, Victoria was also paid $14,111, as the Northern Territory’s contribution to the National
Online Problem Gambling Project.
Gambling Research
The Gambling and Research Grants Program supports gambling related research activities, analysis and development of initiatives to address issues of problem gambling and to develop policy and approaches to encourage responsible gambling practices.
In 2011-12, two organisations were funded a total of $195,901, as follows:
• Charles Darwin University received funding of $155,172 to continue its research projects relating to Indigenous gambling, applicability of other jurisdictional policy frameworks and analysis of the existing prevalence dataset; and
• Menzies School of Health Research received funding of $40,729 for an ongoing Australian Research Council’s
linkage research project into the spatial distribution of gambling harm.
The Department of Justice, Victoria was also paid $15,472, as the Northern Territory’s contribution to Gambling
Research Australia.
Major Community Grants
The Major Community Grants Program was established in 2008-09 to provide funding support to not for profit
Northern Territory based organisations for community development and improvement purposes.
The maximum grant available for each project is $200,000 per annum for a maximum of two years. Organisations are expected to either secure funding from other sources beyond the time of the grant or ensure a suitable plan is devised to wind down the activity with minimal disruption.
In 2011-12, nine organisations were funded a total of $287,820, as follows:
• Central Australian Art Society Incorporated received funding of $10,268 to re-establish their exhibition gallery;
• GAP Community Childcare Centre Incorporated received funding of $13,000 to undertake an outdoor upgrade;
• Darwin Community Arts Incorporated received funding of $136,950 for the Chambers Crescent Theatre;
• Operatunity Incorporated received funding of $7,900 for professional fees;
• The Karama Community and Children’s Centre Incorporated received funding of $32,000 to upgrade and restore the outdoor playground flooring;
• The Rotary Club of Litchfield/Palmerston received funding of $15,000 for the Howard Springs Skateboard and
Bike facility;
• Thamarrurr Incorporated receiving funding of $47,000 for the Wadeye Early Youth Intervention Project;
• Variety, the Children’s Charity, Tent 82 Northern Territory Incorporated received funding of $14,750 to host various events throughout the year; and
• Barkly Regional Arts Incorporated received funding of $10,952 to extend the production service of the
organisation.
Community Organisation Grants (small grants)
Community Organisation grants are available to support projects which have the potential to improve the wellbeing and lifestyle of Territorians. Funding for a wide range of purposes may be provided to eligible not for profit Territory based community organisations.
Funding is generally limited to amounts of $5,000 or less, although higher amounts may be approved under specified conditions outlined in the grant guidelines. Funding is provided for non-recurrent expenditure and is available only for clearly identified projects which can be completed within specified time frames.
Greater consideration is given to priority issues such as level of existing community support and circumstances such as remoteness or high levels of socio-economic disadvantage. Preference is also given to requests for lower value amounts. This combined approach allows for an equitable distribution of available funds throughout the Northern Territory to as many worthwhile projects as possible.

Vehicle Gift and Long Term Loans
Whilst the CBF Committee considers applications for vehicle gifts and long term loans and makes recommendations to the Minister, the actual vehicles are not funded by the levy on electronic gaming machines, but instead, by a levy charged by Northern Territory Fleet on all government vehicles. Applications for vehicle gifting or long term loans are called for on a biannual basis with similar criteria to that of Community Organisation grants. During 2011-12 a total of 54 vehicle gift and long term loan applications were received. The Community Benefit Fund Committee recommended 13 vehicle gifts and one long term loan be approved.
These recommendations were approved by the Minister for Racing, Gaming and Licensing under the Financial
Management Act. Table 3 lists the vehicles approved in 2011-12.
