Liquor licence conditions

The liquor laws impose conditions on every licence.

Some conditions are imposed directly by the Liquor Act 2007 or the Liquor Regulation 2008. Find out more about these conditions by selecting the link for the type of licence you are interested in. These documents were updated in April 2012.

Many licences have conditions imposed on them on a case-by-case basis, either when the licence is granted or at a later stage in response to an application or regulatory event.

Visit www.licence.nsw.gov.au/LicenceCheck to look-up the conditions imposed on a specific licence. To search this public register, you need to know the name of the liquor licence, the name of the licensee, or the unique licence number we allocated to the licensed premises. The public register does not allow searching with an address.

Under the liquor laws, a licensee and each member of the licensee’s staff must have available to them the liquor licence, any licence-related authorisation held in relation to the licence, and any conditions imposed on the licence or an authorisation by the Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority.

We support compliance with this requirement by issuing each licensee with a liquor licence document and by publishing an explanatory guide. For club and hotel licences, the licence document incorporates the certificate of gaming machine entitlements and includes related information.
