From 31 January 2022, changes to the Liquor Control Reform Act 1998 that relate to liquor accords come into effect:

  • Liquor accord documents will be published on our website. 
  • A licensee or permittee may also consult Victoria Police on developing or enforcing a liquor accord. 
  • Any banning notice issued under a liquor accord must be limited to 12 months.
  • It will also become an offence for a person to use or disclose any information received from us or Victoria Police regarding banned persons, except for the purposes of enforcing a liquor accord ban. Any breaches will amount to an offence carrying a maximum penalty of 60 penalty units. 

There are more than 80 liquor forums across Victoria. To view an approved accord document or to join a local liquor forum, contact details can be found in the list below. If you can’t find one close to you, contact your local police to see if there is an active liquor forum in your area.
