Manager's certificates

It is a requirement of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act that when alcohol is being sold or supplied to the public a duty manager is responsible for compliance with the Act.

This includes enforcing the conditions of the premise's alcohol licence, monitoring the conduct of patrons, promoting responsible drinking and reducing alcohol abuse.

Temporary/Acting manager: 

If a certified manager is ill, absent, dismissed or has resigned the licensee may appoint either an uncertified temporary manager or an uncertified acting manager. Notification to the DLC is required and certain conditions apply.
