Here's just one example.

Did you know the Robinvale District Local Health service was smart enough to benefit from the Community Benefit Payment Scheme.

What's that, you may ask?

The Community Benefit Payment Scheme Community benefit payments are intended to benefit local communities and to offset the potential harm of increased gaming machines in a local government area. 

Community benefit payments are generally given to local not for profit and charitable organisations to support communities in the local government area where the funding is generated. 

When a venue applies to Liquor & Gaming NSW to increase the gaming machines on its premises, it may be required to complete a Local Impact Assessment which examines the impact that the additional machines may have on the local area.

The Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority uses the Local Impact Assessment to determine if approving the application will have an overall positive impact on the community.

If the application is approved, the venue must make community benefit payments to the Responsible Gambling Fund.

The payments are calculated by the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority and are distributed to organisations that support the social wellbeing of communities in the local area.

The Robinvale District Local Health Service was able to hire a social worker/counsellor to perform cross-referral and collaboration with GambleAware Far & Western NSW for two years.

Community War Memorials Fund, Drought Ready and Resilience Fund loans, boarding scholarships for isolated students, scholarships and allowances for rural students, Prevention Innovation and Technology grants, $1000 Safe Work small business grant, and so much more.

Yes it is time out of your day, but even one time in five times of taking a five minute scroll might prove a game changer for you, the organisation you volunteer for, or your business. Can't really put a price on that can you?
