Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority

What Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority does

The NSW Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority (ILGA) is an independent statutory decision-maker responsible for liquor, registered club and gaming machine regulatory functions in New South Wales, Australia. Operating under liquor and gaming legislation, ILGA renders authoritative decisions on liquor licence applications, gaming machine approvals, registered club matters, disciplinary actions, closure orders, demerit point assessments, reviews of original determinations, and section 53 remedial measures. It also maintains the Liquor Regulation Clause 76 Register as a public compliance record. Core "products" are thus decision types (Liquor, Gaming, Disciplinary, Review, Closure Orders, Demerit, s53 Remedial) and the Clause 76 Register, supported by a document library, published guidelines, and public ILGA meetings.

ILGA is not a technology company and operates without a commercial revenue model. Its core "technology" is its decision-making framework, codified in published guidelines and supported by a public-facing NSW Government website. The organization has 64 employees and is headquartered in Haymarket, New South Wales. It is a statutory authority of the NSW Government, accountable through government governance structures rather than through traditional corporate ownership or market mechanisms. Regulatory fees and licensing costs are set under NSW legislation rather than priced commercially.
