New Code of Conduct

The Court Hotel has developed a new code of conduct for our patrons to follow. More information can be found here.

To All Court Patrons - ID Scanner

The Court Hotel is committed to keeping our venue safe for everyone. Therefore, in conjunction with numerous other Northbridge/Perth venues, we have decided to install an ID scanning system at our door.

This means that no matter what age you are, you must present a drivers’ licence, proof of age card or passport at our door to gain entry. The system will also take a photograph of you upon entry.

This is not a decision we have made lightly. We have researched numerous systems and have found one that meets all the principles of the National Privacy Policy. Your details are not only password protected but also encrypted and can only be accessed by senior management. Your identity will only be disclosed to a security or a police personnel if you are involved in any incident in or outside our establishment either directly or indirectly. We do not sell or give to other persons or organisations lists containing your personal information. We will not disclose any personal information we hold about you unless required by law.

The benefits of this system in reducing incidents of violence are well documented. Venues around the country are using this same system and there have been numerous reports of massive reductions in levels of assaults and other incidents at the premises in which it is installed. The system also allows us to share information between venues so we know if someone has been removed for violent behaviour in another venue and we can disallow that person access to our venue if we choose. The system also acts as a deterrent to unacceptable behaviour in the venue and allows us to keep track of patrons that we have previously disallowed entry or removed for unacceptable behaviour.

We hope you support our efforts to make The Court one of the safest places to spend your time. As with any new system in the venue there may be some teething problems so we appreciate your patience. Can you all please make sure you bring ID to the venue from now on. Let’s work together in making The Court a happy and safe place for everyone.

Yours sincerely
The Court Management

Don’t forget – you must now have photo ID to gain entry to our premises.
