Contingent liabilities are potential future cash payments where the likelihood
of payment is not considered probable or cannot be measured reliably.

The Group has entered the following guarantees however the probability of having to make a payment under these
guarantees is considered remote:
Guarantees in the normal course of business relating to conditions set out in development applications and for the
sale of properties; and
Guarantees against workers' compensation self-insurance liabilities as required by State WorkCover authorities.
The guarantees are based on independent actuarial advice of the outstanding liability.
No provision has been made in the Consolidated Financial Statements in respect of these contingencies however there
is a provision of $663 million for self-insured risks (2022: $628 million), which includes liabilities relating to workers'
compensation claims, that have been recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at the reporting date.
From time to time, entities within the Group are party to various legal actions as well as inquiries from regulators and
government bodies that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Consideration has been given to such matters
and it has been determined that these matters are not at a stage to support a reasonable evaluation of the likely outcome.

Group Limited had historically operated as part of the Group. These agreements cover key business areas, including the
provision of goods and services related to supply chain and stores, IT, loyalty and FinTech, digital, media and business

disclosed as related party transactions. However, balances that remain unsettled with Endeavour Group Limited at the
reporting date, including amounts relating to third-party cost recoveries, are disclosed as related party receivables.
