Be inspection ready

Presented by VCGLR Inspectors, the videos take liquor licensees through what they can expect during an inspection for: 

• all licence types – administrative checks 
• late night, sexually explicit and some major event licences
• packaged liquor outlets. 

VCGLR compliance inspectors cover the state of Victoria 24-hours a day, seven days a week and can visit licensed premises any time they are open for business or by prior arrangement.   

Inspections will go ahead regardless of whether a licensee or manager is present at the time so licensees should ensure they educate venue staff on:  

• what a liquor inspection is
• when a liquor inspection can take place
• what information will be requested during a liquor inspection
• where the required information is kept on the premises. 

If information is requested during an inspection and can’t be produced, this can be recorded as a breach against the licence and may result in a warning letter or penalty. 

Inspections of licensed premises are important to ensure liquor is promoted and sold in a way that encourages responsible drinking.
