Self exclusion from gambling for Victorian clubs and hotels is managed by the Australian Hotels Association. Self exclusion is an entirely voluntary process. It is an agreement you make with yourself, and for yourself. It involves no other person in any responsibilities - legal or otherwise.

To become self excluded you will need to attend an interview with an AHA officer. At the interview your photo will be taken and you will be required to sign the Deed of Self Exclusion. Please ensure that you read the deed thoroughly and if required, seek independent advice concerning the contents of the Deed. The contents of the Deed will be explained to you at the interview.

You may bring any person or material you wish to the interview. When you call to arrange an interview time, you will be asked to nominate by name the venue/s you wish to be self excluded from.

If you would like more information on self exclusion, or would like to contact the AHA to arrange an interview for self exclusion, visit the AHA website, or contact any Self Exclusion Officer at the AHA on (03) 9654 3491 to arrange an interview time.

For your benefit, could you also please bring your membership card (if any) for the venues to which you would like to be excluded. This will aid in your self exclusion. You will also need to provide AHA approved identification.

If you have not as yet contacted a counsellor, the AHA recommends that you to do so. To locate a counselling service, please select the "Finding Help" tab on the left hand side of this page for Counselling Services in your State of residence.
