Teen Drinking Law

Secondary supply of alcohol to under 18s – new law, 2011

From 1 November 2011 it will be against Victorian law to serve alcohol in a private home to anyone under 18, unless their parents or guardians have given permission. Adults who break the new law face fines of more than $7,000 – the same amount a licensee would be fined for selling alcohol to a minor. The law still allows parents and guardians to serve alcohol to their own underage children in a private home.
