How old do you have to be to enter a club in Australia?

Question

My friends and I are going there and they want to go clubbing. We want to know how old you have to be to just enter. Not to drink, but to like dance and have fun. We are also wondering if they check ID.

Answer 1

The legal drinking age is 18.

Most places that sell alcohol will check ID at the door. Small local pubs and clubs ( ie golf clubs, bowling clubs etc) check ID at the bar if they dont have door staff. They even check when you look young ( trust me - my friend is 30 and she always gets asked! It really annoys her!)

If you are wanting to just enter and have fun, but are under 18, try the local University clubs and bars. Some have rules that under age people can enter, but they give wrist bands to those over 18. My local uni club breath tests those exiting that are under age and if you are over zero they can call the authorities.

Some cities have under age clubs.

It really depends on how old you and your mates are, to answer you better. It could really ruin your holiday if you are caught!

Answer 2

18yrs old and yes sometimes they do if they think you dont look the right age.

Answer 3

18 i think

Answer 4

The Legal Age is 18, depending on how popular the place is - especially nightclubs, and on the night will depend on if they check ID.

you can alternatively try your luck and go to somewhere less surrounded by security, and try your luck there.

but the legal age is 18.

Be careful

Answer 5

You need to be 18 to get into a club or a pub, and in my experience, they always check.  18 is the 'legal' age in Australia.

Answer 6

18..but never check

Answer 7

18 but i have seen some clubs that are friday 28s so some are for over 28s but not many, most ate 18 so have fun :)

Yes they always check ID, its very tight security here

Answer 8

You have to be 18 years of age. No younger.

Most places check all the time, you have to have valid photo ID to enter, at some clubs it is two sources of ID.

It really depends where you are. if your in a small town its possible to get in without id. if your ina city, NO WAY.

Answer 9

You have to be at least eighteen years old to enter a club in Australia.

Answer 10

18+. No exceptions.

Yes, they will. They have laws and regulations they must follow or they can be hit with big fines. You will so too if caught.

Answer 11

18 legal age. ID is requested.

Answer 12

18 - and they DO check although many people said they don't or they "got away with it" especially with fake ID.

Take a chance.. but....are you willing to risk that ONE time you get caught?

Up to you, mate.

Cheers

Answer 14
