Approval of a Responsible Person (Licensed Venues) - South Australia

Description

You will need to be approved as or have a responsible person approved if you intend to operate a licensed venue. A licensed venue must be supervised and managed by an approved responsible person at all times when open to the public.

A responsible person is responsible for:

  • recognising signs of intoxication
  • refusing service to persons showing signs of intoxication
  • checking identification of patrons to ensure minors are not consuming alcohol at the venue
  • discouraging actions of patrons which may cause harm
  • knowing how and when is appropriate to remove or bar someone from a venue.

An individual can apply for approval as a responsible person, or a licensee can apply on behalf on an employee.

Approval as a responsible person is only valid for the liquor operations of a licensed venue. It does not authorise the person to supervise and manage gaming operations.

Please contact the agency for more information.
