Your Choice
Your Choice targets underage drinkers who have been detected by police either in possession of and / or consuming alcohol in a public space. In NSW a young person can be fined under the Summary Offences Act for this offence. Your Choice offers young people the choice of either being issued with a fine or attending an education session with their parent / guardian. It’s Your Choice.
Your Choice education sessions are designed and run by expert drug and alcohol workers and police. The sessions provide important information about the legal, social and health consequences of underage drinking. It also provides young people and their parents / guardians with strategies to avoid risks and keep safe by developing better attitudes and behaviours around alcohol.
