We strive to provide an enjoyable, safe and welcoming environment for all our patrons.

Recognised RSA Certificate
All team members involved in the sale, supply or service of liquor must hold a recognised RSA Certificate or equivalent valid in the State or Territory in which they work.

Accordingly, all team members involved in the sale, supply or service of alcohol must provide original documentation as proof of having obtained a recognised RSA Certificate or equivalent upon commencing work with Australian Venue Co. RSA refresher courses must be undertaken in accordance with regulatory requirements.

Minors
Australian Venue Co. is aware of the potential for people under the age of 18 to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages on Australian Venue Co. premises. Accordingly, Australian Venue Co. is committed to taking all possible measures to ensure minors do not purchase or consume alcohol.

Venue team members endeavour to prevent underage drinking by requesting photo identification from any persons who appear under 25 years of age and only accept the approved forms of photo ID as permitted under applicable State or Territory law.

Intoxication
Team members understand it is an offence to:
• Sell liquor to an intoxicated patron;
• Supply or provide liquor to an intoxicated patron;
• Allow another person to supply an intoxicated patron with liquor;
• Allow an intoxicated patron to consume liquor.

Australian Venue Co. does not sanction or approve any promotions that may encourage the rapid or excessive consumption of alcohol in any of its venues which may lead to intoxication. Team members are required to encourage and promote responsible consumption of alcohol.

The service of alcohol requires team members to make assessments about refusing alcohol when it is perceived that another drink will result in intoxication. Team members have the full support of management in making such assessments.

All team members have the right to refuse service or entry to any patron who displays signs of undue intoxication.

Duty of Care
Australian Venue Co. acknowledges its duty of care to patrons by taking all reasonable steps to ensure their safety while on the premises and, in cases of intoxication, to facilitate their smooth departure from the premises.

Safe Premises
Abusive, argumentative, indecent or violent behavior is not tolerated, and offenders will be removed from Australian Venue Co.’s premises.
