AHA Liquor Licensing Self Audit Checklist
The AHA(WA) created and released the Licensed Premises Checklist in July 2012 and have now gone one step further and created the Online Licensed Premises Self Audit Checklist.
This checklist assists many members in identifying and addressing areas within their licensed premises that require compliance.
The new online tool currently has 10 modules that must be completed in sequence from 1 - 10, in order to generate a printable report at the end. These modules include:
1. Approved Managers (9 questions)
2. Required Documentation (11 questions)
3. Venue Management (3 questions)
4. Barring Notices (3 questions)
5. Forms of ID (3 questions)
6. Incident Register (5 questions)
7. Crowd Controllers (10 questions)
8. Tobacco Licence (6 questions)
9. Smoking at your venue (7 questions)
10. Restaurant - Liquor Without A Meal (2 questions) 
Proceed through the checklist by answering Yes or No to each of the questions.
When you have answered all the questions in that particular module; click "start checklist" to begin the next module (see image below) or "skip module" to skip this section and proceed to the next question. Continue this process until all 9 modules have been completed. 
Once you have completed all 9 modules; you will be able to generate your Licensed Premises Checklist report.
When you click "Generate Report", you will be able to either:
Copy, paste and save the content of your report into a document; or
Generate a PDF and save and print your report from there.

I was there to refresh my knowledge and to keep in the loop with all the new changes in the Liquor Act. The trainer was very engaging, he knew just how to get the information across. I found that the relevant training was highlighted and all the sections were applicable to me in my workplace. It is great value and I will continue to send Luxe Bar employees to the AHA to be trained.
