A pre-retail licence authorises the wholesale supply of liquor to other licensees.
Pre-retail licensees based in Victoria can supply liquor to licensees located anywhere in Australia. They can also supply liquor to a person for the purpose of exporting the liquor supplied outside of Australia.
Wholesalers, producers, brewers and liquor importers would normally apply for a pre-retail licence.
For information about the application fee for a pre-retail licence, visit application fees.
