Northern Territory Licensing Commission
The Licensing Commission is an independent statutory authority with extensive powers to regulate and enforce the Territory’s racing, gaming and licensing legislation. The Commission operates as an independent tribunal with responsibility for licensing and related matters covering liquor control, kava management, private security, escort agencies and gaming machines.
Department of Justice's Licensing and Regulation Division works closely with the Commission, bringing forward matters associated with licence applications, variations and breaches.
The Northern Territory Licensing Commission was established on 14 February 2000 and has taken over from the former Liquor Commission, Private Security Licensing Authority, Escort Agency Licensing Board, Gaming Machine Commission and Gaming Control Commission. All the functions previously administered by these boards are now within the scope of the single Licensing Commission.
The Licensing Commission is an independent statutory authority created by the Northern Territory Licensing Commission Act 2000.
Members of the Licensing Commission are:
- Chairman: Mr Richard O'Sullivan
- Legal Member: Merran Short
- Member: John Brears
- Member: Paul Fitzsimons
- Member: Walter Grimshaw
- Member: Brenda Monaghan
- Member: Helen Kilgariff

The Racing Commission remains a separate entity for the time being, and receives secretariat support from the Office of the Director of Licensing.
