ACT Health—workplace culture

Ms Fitzharris (in reply to a supplementary question by Mrs Dunne on Tuesday, 18 September 2018):

Government—clubs policy

Mr Ramsay (in reply to a question by Mr Parton on Thursday, 20 September 2018):

The Gambling and Racing Control (Code of Practice) Regulation 2002 (the Code) provides that a licensee must not knowingly pay winnings to a person who is excluded from gambling.

In order to assess compliance with this requirement, the Gambling and Racing Commission, through Access Canberra, completed a proactive compliance inspection program focused on identifying payments to excluded persons. The program was an education program with the aim to work with licensees to resolve any identified issues as a result of payments to excluded persons.

A total of 3,733 payouts of over $1,500 were reviewed against the excluded persons database. There were two payments to excluded persons identified. Access Canberra has engaged with the two licensees identified as making the payments and is working with them to ensure that adequate procedures are in place to prevent reoccurrence.

All licensees were advised of the outcome of the program.
