End of licensee training exemption - now required BEFORE lodging application

As of today, most licensees and approved managers will require completion of either the standard, or standard and advanced licensee training before applying for a new licence or licence transfer.

The only licensees and approved managers that do not require this training are those of very low risk licences, such as:

  • single or multi-function
  • special event or trade fair, with less than 2,000 patrons per day
  • public entertainment (cinema) venues
  • producer/wholesaler without a drink on premises authorisation
  • pop-up event or promotion without a drink on premises authorisation

For everyone else, this is just one of the steps you must take – don’t forget your RSA competency and National Police Check as a minimum.
