Our compliance inspectors may visit gambling venues anywhere in Victoria, at any time of the day.
They do not wear uniforms, but they do carry official identification cards.
They do not have specific targets or quotas in relation to the issuing of infringement notices (fines).
Powers of compliance inspectors
Compliance inspectors have the power to:
- enter and inspect licensed premises
- request that licensees and their staff answer questions and provide information, documents, records and equipment
- seize items as evidence
- request proof of age
- issue infringement notices (Note: they are not able to issue notices for breaching a banning notice or exclusion order, or for failing to comply with police directions about a banning notice or exclusion order)
- enter a private home if they have a search warrant, or if the home is situated on the licensed premises and the inspector has prior consent from the licensee to enter.
