Tasmania

Club governance software
for Tasmania.

Tasmania moved to an individual venue gaming licence model, so clubs now hold their own gaming licences and carry the compliance directly.

compliance obligations that apply to a registered club in Tasmania, pre-loaded and ready to track from the day you set up.

What governing a club in TAS actually involves

From the 2023 reforms, Tasmanian clubs with gaming machines hold their own venue gaming licence rather than operating under a single statewide operator. That puts the attached compliance, reporting, and responsible-gambling obligations onto the individual club and its board. The Liquor and Gaming Branch within Treasury and the Tasmanian Liquor and Gaming Commission supervise the regime.

The corporate and liquor obligations sit alongside the gaming work. A Tasmanian club that is a company limited by guarantee answers to ASIC for its filings and AGM, and governs its bar under the Liquor Licensing Act 1990. Holding the new gaming responsibilities together with the existing corporate and liquor calendar is the practical challenge for boards here.
