Government and industry approaches to minimise alcohol-related harms
START COURSE

Description

Published March 10, 2020

We want you to be a great leader – for your business and your staff. We will help you to understand what it means to be proactive, lead the way, and build a culture of compliance in your business and amongst your staff – no matter how big or small your business.

We will also give you the tools to become a risk manager. Operating in a higher risk environment doesn’t mean you have to accept risk as a consequence of your business model. You can implement controls to minimise your risk.

That’s not to say you have to eliminate risk - we don’t expect you to fix everything and have zero incidents in and around your business. We accept there are broader cultural and societal issues that you don’t have control over. But, you can enhance your controls to manage the things that you do have control over within your licensed business.

You can lead your business and your staff, engaging with your local community, to run your business responsibly, taking a risk based approach to reduce the community harms associated with alcohol and contribute to creating a sustainable and vibrant industry.


A range of measures have been introduced to tackle alcohol-related violence – across NSW and also in specific locations. This module outlines some of the ways in which the Government and industry has sought to address and reduce alcohol-related harms in licensed premises and will cover:  

  • licence conditions 

  • regulatory schemes, including the violent venues scheme, three strikes scheme and minors sanction scheme  

  • location based approached including restrictions in Newcastle CBD, Sydney CBD and Kings Cross precincts, and  

  • successful liquor accord case studies where industry has collaborated to reduce alcohol-related harms in their local areas.
