Venuecard

Keeping Venues Safe

We'd like to introduce you to a new program to reduce antisocial behaviour in late night trading venues. Until now the facts and statistics show that there are many problems, but no real solutions and no winners.

Malcolm Britt from Venuecard has spent the last 9 months creating a system that will finally make drunk and drug effected people responsible for their behaviour in and around night clubs.

Venuecard are currently trying to generate support from patrons, parents, government, media, businesses, chambers of commerce, advocacy groups and anyone that is interested in making venues safe for them and their children.

If you are a young adult or the parent of young adults please register your email address at the Venuecard website and you will be notified of their progress.

The more registrations we have the more ammunition we will have to lobby government and the hotel industry so that they will adopt this much needed program.

Show your support for this innovative concept to keep the voilence and associated problems out of our venues. Click here to visit www.venuesafe.com.au.

We know what the problems are ...

Noise & Vandalism: Residents and business owners residing near venues are exposed to public urination, damage and noise

Drugs: Violence at venues is on the rise, particularly
since the increased use of ICE and other drugs

Safety: Patrons, particularly women, are not going out for fear of being harassed or assaulted

Security: Patrons are intimidated by excessive and authoritarian security staff

Midnight Lock Out: Midnight lock out reduces your choice of venue after 12am

Violence: Unprovoked violence is a constant threat to timid patrons

Bans: Bans are only useful if the staff or security on duty remember the patron

No Consequences: Patrons have no motivation to act responsibly because the worst consequence is being ejected from the venue
