Under new conditions of his bail the 22-year-old must also report to Rose Bay police station at least once a week on Mondays.

The Eels five-eighth was arrested at the Golden Sheaf in Double Bay after police were called to the venue about 11.40pm on Saturday.

He was charged with five counts of sexually touching another person without consent.

Brown appeared at Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday where his lawyer requested bail conditions be adjusted from a blanket ban prohibiting him from entering Double Bay, to a ban on entering licensed premises within the suburb.

In a statement, the Eels said the club had been made aware of the matter and had advised the NRL integrity unit.

"As it is a police matter, the club will not be making further comment at this time," it said on Sunday.

As of Sunday afternoon, the NRL was still working through whether or not Brown would be subject to the policy given each charge carries only a maximum prison term of five years.
