Canberrans are supportive of a range of measures to reduce harm from alcohol sold online, new data shows, as the ACT Government considers alcohol delivery reforms.
The vast majority of Canberrans backed not allowing alcohol companies to use push notifications prompting people to purchase alcohol (84.1%); mandatory ID verification when online (81%) and at the point of delivery (78.4%) and specific RSA training for delivery drivers (74.1%).
More than a quarter (26.2%) had been delivered alcohol at their home in the previous 12 months. FARE commissioned the Pureprofile survey of 503 Canberran adults between 25 August and 4 September 2023.
