flag NSW enacts strict new laws to boost nightlife safety, including license suspensions and mandatory training after misconduct scandals.

flag New NSW laws grant police and liquor inspectors power to suspend or cancel venue licenses for failing to ensure staff and patron safety, following a major investigation into sexual misconduct, harassment, and unsafe working conditions at top hospitality venues like Swillhouse and Merivale. flag The reforms allow the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority to revoke responsible service of alcohol cards for employees found guilty of misconduct, preventing easy job transfers. flag Mandatory sexual violence prevention training for all bar staff was also implemented. flag While enforcement has been limited historically, the changes are backed by safety advocates, industry groups, and whistleblowers who helped shape the reforms, marking a significant step toward accountability in NSW’s nightlife sector.
