OCGFC Safe Transport Policy

This policy aims to provide a basis for the responsible use and/or non use of alcohol by the Old Camberwell Grammarians Football Club and is seen as fundamental to the aims of the Club.

To ensure the aims of the club are upheld, and that alcohol is managed responsibly by the Club and its members, the following requirements will apply when alcohol is served by the Club at the Club or during a Club function elsewhere.
  • Bar staff shall encourage members and visitors to make alternate safe transport arrangements if they are considered to exceed .05 blood alcohol concentration.
  • Telephone calls will be made free of charge by bar staff to arrange a taxi or other transport.
  • Contact telephone numbers for taxi services are to be displayed clearly above the bar.
  • Taxi Numbers common to the area are: Silver Top Taxis 131 008 and Taxis Australia 132 227
  • In specific cases, where a designated driver who has been nominated by the club and that person has accepted the responsibility to drive others home safely, will be provided non-alcoholic drinks and bar food free of charge by the club.
  • Where available, club transport will be provided to/from events.
The Safe Transport Policy will be reviewed annually at the February Meeting of the Old Camberwell Grammarians Football Club to ensure the actions remain appropriate and effective.
