Liquor Act 2007 (NSW)

Record intoxication assessments and service decisions

NSW · Liquor & Gaming NSWDoes (enforced)

Floor staff record their responsible-service-of-alcohol assessments — the signs of intoxication observed and the decision made (serve, monitor, refuse service, refuse entry, or remove). Refuse-entry and remove decisions cascade to a linked incident. This builds the venue's evidence that staff are actively making and recording RSA decisions, supporting the s.114J obligation not to supply liquor to an intoxicated person.

Consequence of breach

What can go wrong.

Subsection-to-penalty mapping deferred to counsel. Failure to record RSA decisions weakens the venue's defensible-conduct position at inspection.

Consequences are summarised from the underlying legislation. Specific penalties depend on the breach pattern, prior history, and the regulator's enforcement posture. Talk to a liquor and gaming lawyer for a definitive view of your venue's exposure.
