Selling alcohol online

In Queensland, there’s no specific licence to sell packaged alcohol on the internet.

• wine producers and wine merchants.

Interstate online alcohol sales

Interstate suppliers can legally sell alcohol online to Queenslanders provided the storage and distribution of, and payment for, the alcohol happens outside Queensland.

Interstate online sellers should first consult their relevant state regulatory agency for their requirements before selling alcohol to Queenslanders.
