Club Commercial Compliance

Over the term of a club licence, clubs must provide a range of compliance documentation to remain eligible for a licence.

There are two or three rounds of commercial compliance due each financial year depending on the tier of the club:

  • Round 1: July 15; (Tiers 1, 2 and 3 only);
  • Round 2: September 30; and
  • Round 3: January 31.

Depending on the tier of a club, there are a varying number of Commercial Compliance requirements within each round. Requirements are outlined in the Club Commercial Compliance Checklist.
