Signage that licensed venues must display by law

Under the Liquor Act 1992, you must display the following mandatory signs on a conspicuous part of the premises:

• Liquor licence/permit details
  Also read Liquor guideline 14: Particulars to be displayed on licensed premises.

• RAMP sign
  This sign advises patrons of their right to see the venue's risk-assessed management plan (RAMP).

• ID scanning collection notice
  If your venue is a regulated premises for ID scanning purposes, you must display a summary of your privacy policy at or near the entrance to the venue, to allow patrons to view it before producing photo ID. Also read, Liquor guideline 64: Privacy obligations for establishing and operating identification scanning systems.

• closed-circuit television (CCTV) signs advising patrons that CCTV equipment is in use at the premises, for example:
  • This venue is under video surveillance poster and LCD screen sign
  • This venue is under video surveillance and search by metal detectors poster and LCD screen sign
  • Video surveillance, metal detectors and management can refuse entry poster and LCD screen sign.

You must display CCTV signs if:
