Gambling Act 2003

Harm prevention and minimisation, enforcement, and other matters - Other matters

370: Regulations relating to fees

You could also call this:

"Rules about paying fees for gambling licences and services"

The Governor-General can make rules about the fees you have to pay to cover the costs of the Secretary, the Gambling Commission, or the Police when they do things like tell people about the Gambling Act, make sure people follow the Act, or do other things the Act says they have to do. You might have to pay fees for things like applying for a licence or getting a certificate. The rules can say who has to pay the fees, how much they have to pay, and when they have to pay it. You can find out more about how these rules are published by looking at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. The costs that you might have to pay fees for include things like the cost of processing your application, or the cost of funding the people who check that gambling is happening fairly.
