Face coverings and checking ID

From 11 October all Victorians must wear a fitted face mask when they leave home, no matter where they live.

You can ask a customer to remove a face covering to ascertain their identity to purchase liquor. The process of removing face coverings for this purpose should be undertaken in line with DHHS advice.

Under Victorian liquor laws, it is an offence to supply liquor to persons under the age of 18 years. Licensees and their staff should ask for ID if a customer looks under 25, as best practice.

Free drinking water in licensed premises

While the current restrictions remain in place for licensed premises, self-serve free drinking water stations should be removed from public use. For licensed venues located outside of the Melbourne metropolitan area and Shire of Mitchell, free drinking water must still be made available via table service in accordance with the coronavirus restriction guidelines.

Penalties can apply for licensees who fail to provide free drinking water for patrons.

Overseas licences now accepted as evidence of age

International drivers’ licences and Victorian marine licenses can now be accepted as evidence of age documents by licensed venues.

The Victorian Government is cutting red tape by allowing overseas drivers licences to be used as proof of age for entry into licensed venues. The changes will bring Victoria’s laws in in line with other Australian states and territories.

Any licences in a language other than English will need to be accompanied by an English translation or International Drivers Permit, which can be easily downloaded online.

Previously, those who held overseas driver licences were required to use their passport as a form of identification to enter licensed venues.

Anyone who possesses a marine licence can also use this as a proof of age document for entry into a licensed venue, meaning those who have a marine licence but not a driver licence will no longer be required to carry multiple forms of identification.
