Drink Spiking Campaign

Following several high-profile drink-spiking incidents, the City of Sydney developed a project to address drink spiking in licensed premises. The campaign was sent to 500 selected licensed premises mainly in the CBD, especially those with a significant proportion of young women, and venues in and around Oxford Street popular with gay men. Both groups are especially vulnerable to drink spiking where there is a greater likelihood of criminal intent, as opposed to “prank spiking”.

The Campaign was launched in December 2006 and contains the following elements:

Posters directed at patrons in licensed premises

There are two versions, one featuring a young man and one with a young woman. The posters draw attention to unwanted extra alcohol being the main issue in drink spiking, and suggests what to do if a patron suddenly feels unwell. These posters are designed to be inserted into frames in bathrooms, located in the cubicles and above urinals in the men’s toilets. See downloads for hi resolution version of the art work.
