Liquor Act 1992

The ID scanning entry requirements for regulated premises are that a patron must not be allowed to enter the premises unless—

the patron produces a photo ID; and

a staff member of the premises scans the photo ID using an approved ID scanner linked to an approved ID scanning system; and

the scan of the photo ID indicates the patron is not subject to a banning order for the premises.

A reference in subsection (1)(b) to scanning a photo ID is a reference to operating the approved ID scanner in a way that—

records the photo and other permitted information contained in or on the photo ID; and

indicates to the staff member whether or not the person is subject to a banning order recorded in the approved ID scanning system to which the approved ID scanner is linked.

If a staff member of regulated premises can not comply with subsection (1) because of a system failure, the ID scanning entry requirements for the premises are that a patron must not be allowed to enter the premises unless—

the patron produces a photo ID; and

a staff member of the premises checks the photo ID against a current list of persons who are subject to a banning order within the meaning of section 173EJB; and

the check mentioned in paragraph (b) indicates the patron is not subject to a banning order for the premises.

If a staff member of regulated premises can not comply with subsection (1) because of a system failure—

the staff member must comply with any other requirements prescribed by regulation; and

the licensee must give written notice of the system failure to the commissioner and the police commissioner within 48 hours after first allowing entry to a patron during the system failure; and

the licensee must make reasonable efforts to rectify, as soon as possible, any part of the system failure that is a fault of, or damage to, the approved ID scanner.

This section does not apply in relation to an entry of regulated premises by any of the following persons—

a resident, whether temporary or permanent, of the premises;

an exempt minor;

a person whose sole purpose for entering the premises is to attend a function held on the premises;

for premises to which any of the following licences relates—a person whose sole purpose for entering the premises is to eat a meal in a part of the premises ordinarily set aside for dining, whether or not liquor is sold and supplied to the person for consumption by the person in association with the eating of the meal—
