What do we call the procedures that need to be followed to exclude a patron from a licensed premise for a period of time?

Licensees, responsible persons (any person in management or control of a licensed premises) and police have the power to issue a Barring Order that is enforceable by Victoria Police:

  • Once a person is served with a Barring Order, they must leave the venue and its vicinity, and cannot return until the Barring Order expires (the time period will be specified on the Barring Order).
  • The vicinity of a licensed venue is defined as within 20 metres of the venue. If a person does not comply with the Barring Order, Victoria Police may issue them with a penalty infringement notice.
  • Victoria Police also have the option of formally charging the barred patron with an offence for which the person would be required to appear in court. An authorised Barring Order form must be used for this purpose.

Barring Order booklets

A licensee can order Barring Order booklets (containing 25 carbon copy forms) by submitting an enquiry using the contact us form (please include 'Request for Barring Order booklet' and venue details such as premises name, address and liquor licence number).

To issue a Barring Order, you must know the name of the person, and if possible, their address and date of birth. You must also maintain a record of the people you have barred under this process. There is space on the Barring Order booklet to record each person's details.

For information about how to change or cancel a barring order, see Request to change or cancel a barring order.
