Since it began in 2007, the NSW’s violent venues list has no venues in its most serious category and the number of violent incidents at listed venues also decreased by 28 per cent to 112.

The scheme was established to manage venues with high levels of alcohol related violent incidents.

Venues that feature on the list face special licensing conditions which are aimed at reducing violence, including restrictions on trading times and the types of alcohol served. It also includes introduction of various security measures.

Since 2008, there has been a 91 per cent decline in violent incidents at listed venues, falling from 1270 incidents to just 112.

There are eight venues on the latest list, down from 12 in June.

To avoid your venue making the list, ensure Responsible Service of Alcohol principles are enforced at your venue. Make sure that all staff understand how to do this by completing RSA training.
