Self-exclusion agreements
What are they?
A person who wants to be excluded from a licensed venue can enter into a self-exclusion agreement with the licensee. Under the agreement, the person will be prevented from entering or remaining on the licensed premises. One example of a situation where this may occur is where the person is undertaking a rehabilitation program.
How do they work?
Where a self-exclusion agreement is in force, the venue's licensee/staff have the legal power to:
- prevent the person from entering the venue and
- remove the person from the venue
What form should the agreement take?
A self-exclusion agreement must be in the form approved by the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority. The terms of the agreement are specified in the
Self-exclusion from licensed premises agreement form.
How is an agreement terminated?
An excluded person may terminate a self-exclusion agreement at any time in writing by completing the
Self-exclusion from Licensed Premises Notice of Termination of Agreement form.
