The district court in Perth heard that Whitely, 32, stole almost $160,000 (£65,000) from the WACA over a three-year period and gambled it through TAB Ltd, Australia's second biggest gaming group. In a similar case last month, Susan Woodward, 54, admitted stealing more than £82,000 from Northamptonshire.
Judge Robert Mazza made Whitely eligible for parole and instructed him to repay the money to the WACA.
