Dear Member, The May 2015 report published by Volunteering WA on the Economic, Social and Cultural Value of Volunteering to Western Australia once again highlights the important role volunteers play within our clubs, with just under 80 percent of Western Australians volunteering in their community in one form or another. The report also notes that volunteering is WA largest industry. (Source: http://volunteeringwa.org.au/assets/ downloads/economic_social_cultural_ value_of_volunteering_to_wa_2015.pdf). Within the licensed club industry, there are close to 25,000 people who volunteer their time to ensure the viability of their club, arguably making our club sector one of the most volunteer dependent industries in this state.
our industry and commemorate being a clubbie and I look forward to celebrating with those attending this important industry event. With the end of the financial year for most clubs also on the horizon, I would like to remind you to consider conducting an audit of your club’s compliance as well as your financial audit. Clubs WA has an audit checklist readily available on our website as well as a host of other templates to assist you in managing your club at http://www.clubswa.com. au/Members/Tools-for-Your-Club/ClubTemplates. If you have forgotten your login details or would like more information on what is really required for compliance, please contact us on 1300 640 616.
It is fortunate that we are able to thank our volunteers at both the club level, through your own programs, as well as at a State level through the Clubs WA Awards for Excellence. I am particularly proud to be part of the Club Movement when all our volunteer finalists take to the stage for their deserved moment of recognition in front of their industry peers. Thank you to all our finalists this year and best of luck at the Awards Night on Saturday 13 June at Crown Casino.
Finally, I am pleased to announce some staff additions to the Clubs WA team. We welcome back all-rounder (and All Blacks supporter) Juanita MacDonald who has been assisting clubs with their membership enquiries. I would also like to introduce our new trainee, Isabella Johnstone, who has joined the team to assist with training and marketing administration. This is Isabella’s first full time role and on behalf of the Club Movement, I welcome her to our vibrant and rewarding industry.
Best of luck to all our club and individual finalists for these Awards. This is our once a year opportunity to showcase
Best wishes, Karen

Forgot to Apply for an ETP? The Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor (RGL) would like to remind Licensees seeking a “one off” Extended Trading Permit (ETP) that under the Liquor Control Act 1988 applications should be lodged within the following time frames:
If for some reason a licensee is granted an ETP but the event it was to apply to does not go ahead, there is no requirement for the ETP to be used. Please also note the following helpful tips provided by RGL for Clubs WA member clubs:
• Not less than 14 days for events where the anticipated number of patrons is less than 500;
• Applications for a one-off ETP Area must include the written approval of the local council so as to save processing time. Also, don’t forget to supply a map (a basic one will do) of the area.
These minimum lodgment time frames allow the licensing authority enough time for the application to be processed before the event takes place. The processing of the application includes consultation with Police, Health and the local government authority. Under the Act, the Director of Liquor Licensing has the authority to approve one-off ETPs outside these time frames, however in such circumstances, each application is considered on a case-by-case basis and must demonstrate extraordinary circumstances as to why a late application should be allowed to be lodged. Licensees are reminded that the granting of an ETP is not an automatic process; in order to get an ETP, the applicant must demonstrate that it is in the public interest, that is, the granting of the permit is consistent with the objects of the Act.
• Every application is judged on its merits, having due regard to what is in the public interest. • Applicants should refer to the application kit and the Director’s policies, Extended Trading Permits/Variations – ‘One-off’ Events or Functions and Extended Trading Permits - Sale and Supply of Liquor to Non-Members, for further information, which can be found on the Dept of Racing, Gaming and LIquors Website. For further information please call Clubs WA on 1300 640 616.

WA is the richest plot of land in the world for natural mineral wealth. WA has the greatest concentration of Aboriginal art in the world at the Burrup Peninsula, Dampier. There are more than 10,000 ancient rock engravings, some dating back 10,000 years. Broome, Western Australia, is the pearling capital of the world.
Western Australia, with 12.5 thousand kilometres of coastline, is the largest state in the largest island in the world, which is also the smallest, flattest, lowest & driest (excluding Antarctica) continent. The Argyle Diamond Mine in the far north of West Australia, is the world’s largest diamond mine. The top five ancestries for people in WA are: English, Australian, Irish, Scottish and Italian.

Living longer... and better? Australians are expected to live longer and continue to have one of the longest life expectancies in the world. The recent federal government intergenerational report1 predicts that the number of Australians over age 65 will more than double in 40 years’ time (currently 3.45 million2), with 40,000 to be aged 100 and over in 2055, compared with 5,000 now. Coincidently, by 2055, there will be a shrinking proportion of working age people supporting the over age 65 year olds as illustrated below: Number of people aged 15 to 64 for every person aged 65 and over 1974/75
2014/15
2054/55

So what does this mean for us now? Like most developed countries, Australia’s population is ageing as a result of a prolonged period of low fertility and increasing life expectancy. According to UN data, Australia ranks equal first with Iceland in terms of male life expectancy. For females, we rank only behind Japan, Spain, France and Italy. Aside from the economic issues which need to be considered to sustain a larger proportion of older people, there is also added financial pressure on meeting community standards in terms of providing adequate health care and ageing facilities. As high life expectancy is often associated with access to good quality health care, the federal government’s spending on health and aged care services per person is projected to more than double over the next forty years with spending on social services and welfare also expected to increase significantly. By 2042,
The good news Statistically, the older you get, the more likely it is that you’ll live to an even older age. According to the Australian Bureau Statistics, a man who is aged 50 now could expect to live to 82, while a man who is 85 this year could look forward to a 91st birthday.3 The good news is that the increase in life expectancy is expected to be matched by continuing improvements in health. New technology and advanced medical treatments will continue to contribute to assisting in living longer and free of disability. Improvements in health mean that older Australians are likely to remain active for longer and be more active in the community. Coincidently, the participation rate of employment for people aged 65 and over is also expected to increase from today’s level of 12.9% to 17.3% in 2054/55. Feeling good and living longer ‘Active ageing’ presents great opportunities for older Australians to have more active and engaged retirement years. With most Australians currently retiring around 60 years of age, there’s at least 25 years or more of enjoying or experiencing something different that most may have never experienced before. Of course, the range of choices a person has available to them will be determined by how much money they have saved in retirement. As your industry super fund, we are committed to helping support our members with these challenges.

The federal government’s intergenerational report confirms that we are living longer, but will we be able to maintain a good standard of living.
Australia can expect to have 1.1 million people over the age of 85, up from 300,000 over the past decade.

Governments fund workforce training – large Governments fund workforce training small – large companies take and companies take advantage, businesses advantage, businesses the publicsmall miss out! and the public miss out! Each year, State and the Commonwealth governments allocate millions of dollars to enable workforce training. In 2015, the WA government committed $624M. In NSW, this amount was $340M.
funding. However, the governments’ forecast growth at a macro scale and identify areas of growth within a national and/or global context, taking into account market forces and trends that affect the economy and GDP.
Often, small business and individuals are left in the dark about the availability of funding altogether.
Other areas that are funded as a result of this macro outlook include the common trades (plumbing, carpentry), management, events and tourism. While the investments in the trades, management and tourism are not surprising, the investment in the events area on a national level is. This is possibly because of the shift in trend in events hosting from hotels and established events venues to a broader market, which includes local clubs. There is a growing trend for clubs to host weddings and other events as a means to supplement revenue and ensure survival.
The maim driver behind the funding is the need to fill gaps in skills. Each year the State and Commonwealth governments identify industry growth areas and the need to ensure the availability of skilled personnel to support this growth. Not surprisingly the Health, Aged Care, Community and Childcare industries receive substantial
But do clubs know that the state government is backing you?
What part does the federal budget play? Since the mid 1980’s the Commonwealth government has invested some $4B in providing student loans to university students. This is paid back to the government once the student graduates and starts earning an adequate income. In 2010, the federal government extended the loan scheme to pre-university qualifications such as Diploma and Advanced Diplomas. This loan, known and VET FEE-HELP, is available for the nonsubsidised component of funded Diploma and Advanced Diplomas and means that employees have the option of not paying any fees upfront.
How do state funding schemes rate? Each State government have their own set of eligibility criteria for its residents. While the major states of NSW, Queensland and Victoria, limit reskilling options for people with prior qualifications, the WA government has kept the criteria open and its residents have the option to access subsidised programs regardless of what prior qualifications they hold. This provides WA residents with a great opportunity to up-skill or re-skill.
Changing face of training Training is no-longer just campus based but in response to the needs of companies and individuals, online learning, onsite delivery are some of the options that training providers offer to support time poor employees and to minimise disruption to businesses.
Information on funded programs for clubs is available from Study Group Career Partnerships, a Bronze Partner of ClubsWA. You can contact Leslie Nath 1300 721 409 for more information.
Clubs WA Service Bulletin
Governments fund a training program by subsiding between 50 to 90% of the total fees. The company or employee pays the non-subsidised component to the training provider, while the government pays the subsidised component to the training provider.
In the 2014/15 budget, the government will invest $31.9B in education; the student loan scheme is part of this budget.

2014 marked the start of Perth Football Club’s relationship with Variety Club, the Children’s Charity. They provided the function space free of charge to allow a Bogan Bingo night. One of the match days was focused on fundraising and further supported awareness for the charity. A President’s Lunch was hosted and Perth Football Club’s management arranged for speakers from Variety, Tyrepro and Mechanical (the sponsor who brought the charity to their attention) to assist in promoting awareness in the football community.
A Perth Hill’s fire luncheon was organised to raise funds to support those who lost their homes in the 2014 Perth Hills Fire. A total of 50 homes were destroyed in the devastating fires. Royal Perth Golf Club brought together 150 guests, with tickets selling out two weeks prior to the event, over a three course meal with live entertainment and live silent auctions surrounding the event. A total of $42,900 was raised and donated to the disaster relief which directly supported people affected by the 2014 Perth Hills Fire.

Mal is Chair of the Greens Committee, ensuring that there are sufficient volunteers available to maintain two bowling greens. Last year these greens were not up to a high standard which effected a large majority of the members who enjoyed playing bowls. However, in the short time Mal has encompassed his role he has proven effective in ensuring the Club’s greens have achieved an ‘A’ rating. This is the first time this has occurred and the members of the Club are proud of this achievement.
Join a Club for your Mental Health! By Jessica Marmoy
Did you now that people who participate in sporting clubs and organised recreational activities are more likely to be healthier and happier, more alert and cope better with stress? Participation in sport and recreation clubs provides the opportunity to learn new skills, challenge ourselves, make friends and feel a sense of belonging and achievement. All of these things contribute to happiness and good mental wellbeing. Whether you’re a player, an official or are helping out, joining a sport or recreation club is great for your physical and mental health. Keeping physically, mentally and socially active are the foundations of good mental health and wellbeing. Becoming a member of a sport or recreation club provides opportunities to meet new people and form close and lasting friendships. A sense of belonging and being connected to others contributes to good mental health. Achieving individual, team and club goals, whether as a player or supporter, makes us feel good and contributes to mental health and wellbeing. Participating and volunteering helps us, others, and our community.

Our State Budget 2015-16 - Protecting and supporting our community: Grassroots sport support continues Community grassroots sport will get a further boost over the next two years with $10 million for the State Government’s highly successful Sport 4 All program. Comprising four initiatives in KidSport, Nature Play, ClubTalk and the Community Volunteer Project (CVP), the package increases participation in community sport and recreation in Western Australia.
“Research shows that when kids join a club and get more physically active, they learn better. We also know there are so many mental, social and physical benefits for people being active.” Nature Play WA - which was founded by the State Government - will receive $500,000 this year to support its work to encourage parents to balance the time children sit in front of screens with time spent outside being active. “Nature Play has become a much-loved way for families to discover and explore the outdoors,” Ms Davies said. “It also encourages children to get back to unstructured play, which in itself is good but has many positive flow-on health benefits.” ClubTalk provides State sporting associations and industry peak bodies with the tools to use information communication technology to make running a club easier and more cost-effective. The CVP helps clubs recruit, train and retain a new generation of volunteers. Treasurer Mike Nahan said the Government was committed to funding programs which supported communities, especially those that encouraged physical activity. “Sport 4 All encourages healthy, connected communities and that is why we are continuing to invest in these worthwhile programs,” Dr Nahan said.
