Parties can be fun, exciting and a great way for young people to relax and enjoy themselves, but sometimes parties can get out of hand and become unsafe.

By being organised and following a few simple tips you can host a party that is enjoyable, and safe.

  • the person supplying alcohol has the express consent of the young person’s parent or legal guardian and the alcohol is supplied in a responsible manner.

You could be fined up to $2,000 if you don't follow the law.
