Do current nominees automatically become an approved manager?

Yes, only for the interim period, all current nominees from 31st of December 2008 will be deemed approved managers. This status will apply until 30 of June 2010 or until the nominee ceases employment at the licensed premises.

In this case the licensee, including corporations must ensure they comply with the requirements to the Liquor Act 1992 in relation to when an approved manager is required.

For the status of the approved manager to apply after 30 of June 2010 the nominee must have completed the approved manager application process.
