Responsible Service of Alcohol
Responsible serving of alcohol is vital for legal, health and community reasons. Our society is now less tolerant of the irresponsible use of alcohol that leads to drunkenness, drink driving and under age drinking. We are now far more aware of the serious social problems that are associated with such behaviour and have adopted the following strategies for the Responsible Service of Alcohol:
 House Policy providing the framework for the responsible serving of alcohol and to ensure we do not breach the law.- Training of Staff so that they can implement and promote the House Policy
- Education of Patrons so that they understand the implications of and abide by the responsible service of alcohol policy.
- Prevention of underage drinking
- Promoting safe transport options
We will effect these strategies by:
- Implementing, monitoring and modifying the House Policy on an on-going basis.
- Preventing under-age drinking by insisting on "Proof of Age" by requesting a Current Driver’s Licence, Passport or "Proof of Age" Card issued by the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority.
- Preventing intoxication by recognising the signs of intoxication and avoiding serving anyone to the point of intoxication. We will deny entry or service to anyone who is already intoxicated.
- Managing intoxication, anti-social or disruptive patrons by discouraging them from activities which can harm themselves or others and as appropriate, remove them from the premises.
- We will promote the service of non-alcoholic beverages and food.
- We will arrange for friends of patrons to take drink affected patrons home or we will arrange a taxi for them.
Responsible Conduct of Gambling
Gambling is a popular form of entertainment which attracts around 80 per cent of Australians every year. The overwhelming majority of people bet for fun and bet sensibly. They see gambling as an enjoyable recreational activity. But, like anything else, gambling carries a risk when it is abused.
Seven Hills - Toongabbie RSL Club is committed to responsible gaming. We don't want to see anyone lose more than they can afford. So we urge all customers to bet carefully. Set yourself a limit and stick to that limit. Never borrow money to gamble. Seven Hills - Toongabbie RSL Club urges you to stick to these basic rules and gambling will remain an enjoyable activity.
Studies show that around 98 per cent of people have no problem controlling their gambling. However for some people gambling becomes a problem. They spend more money and time than they can really afford on gambling. They become preoccupied with gambling which becomes increasingly hard to control. This can lead to financial and emotional distress which can affect marriages, relationships, work and health. This is when assistance is needed. Seven Hills - Toongabbie RSL Club has a program in place to help people with gambling problems. It is crucial, however, that you recognise the danger signs.
How To Tell If Gambling Is Becoming a Problem:
- The warning signs of problem gambling may include:
- Gambling more money than you can afford
- Gambling with household and other essential funds
- Borrowing money and having trouble repaying it
- Absences from home or work
- Dishonesty and secrecy about money matters
- Severe mood swings
- Increased alcohol consumption
- Easily bored by everyday events
- Denial of any gambling problem despite the obvious signs
We encourage anyone who thinks that they may have a gambling problem to call the G-line (NSW) telephone counselling service on 1800 633 635. This service is available 24 hours per day / 7 days per week and provides a counselling service.
