VENUE’S COMPLIANCE FOLDER

Are You Compliant?

The Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing (OLGR) has specific advice regarding Risk and Compliance Management. The following information details the development of a Compliance Folder, to ensure your venue’s on-going commitment to compliance, containing a written compliance program specific for your venue.

 

The Compliance Folder serves as a tool for your staff, RSA marshal and security, providing them with a ready reference to all aspects of your operations and how to comply with legal requirements and licence conditions.
Allied Risk takes this process one step further by helpingLicenced Venues/Clubs to not only develop the printed documentation required regarding Risk and Compliance, but to incorporate a focus on standards and compliance within the culture of the staff, so that they become more aware of the implications and consequences of actions.

 

The essential documents to be included in the Compliance Folder are:-

  1. A copy of your liquor licence clearly articulating your venue’s licence conditions
  2. An Alcohol Management Operations Register (AMOR). The register should be updated quarterly to reflect the current status of the liquor licence and changes to the venue’s operation. A copy of the register can be downloaded from the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing website (OLGR)
    at http://www.olgr.nsw.gov.au/liquor_amor.asp
  3. A copy of your venue policy
  4. A copy of your venue’s procedures of recording crimes
