RACS recommends:
- The existing safety measures detailed in the Late Night Trading Code of Practice are maintained.
- South Australia significantly invest in enhanced alcohol related harm data, including data on alcohol-attributable hospitalisations, deaths, injuries and emergency department presentations.
- Any decision to reverse measures outlined in the Late Night Trading Code of Practice are accompanied by financial modelling which considers the increase in secondary costs of alcohol related harm (i.e costs to hospitals, law enforcement, etc).
