Pay attention when checking IDs this summer

Licensees are reminded to:

• ask for ID if a customer looks under 25 as best practice
• not only check IDs but make sure they are an acceptable form of ID
• be familiar with the keypass design and its digital format
• refresh your  knowledge on minors by doing the minors quiz or listening to the minors audio
• display your 2018 licence and required signage
• provide free drinking water.

The VCGLR has a range of resources available on our website, including fact sheets, a licensees’ action plan (PDF, 221 KB) and intoxication guidelines (PDF, 317.38 KB) to assist licensees in understanding their obligations before the school leavers season kicks off.

A reminder that in many instances, it's an offence for a minor to be on licensed premises or to purchase, receive or consume alcohol. If a customer is found to have a fake ID, this should be seized immediately, unless it is a drivers licence, and handed to Victoria Police.
