The New Zealand Rugby Union has found Mulipola guilty of serious misconduct and released its penalty yesterday.
He was fined $1000 by the union and is to address pupils at three high schools about the experience.
Mulipola (25) was convicted in late April of driving while disqualified, providing the police with a false name, and assaulting a member of the public, after an incident on April 5.
On June 24, in Dunedin District Court, he was sentenced to carry out 180 hours of community work and to pay $5000 to the victim of the assault, and was banned from driving for 12 months, from February 1 next year, when his current ban runs out.
The giving of false details resulted in a conviction and discharge.
Highlanders and All Black halfback Jimmy Cowan (26) was last month slapped with an alcohol ban until the end of the season by All Black management after he was arrested on three disorderly charges over a three-month period earlier this year.
Otago management declined to make Mulipola available for an interview yesterday, saying he had a game against Southland to concentrate on and wanted to move on from the incident.
Mulipola will make his Otago debut on the wing tomorrow.
NZRU professional rugby general manager Neil Sorensen said the union took the conduct of its professional players seriously.
"Having our professional players appear in court for what we consider serious matters is totally unacceptable to us," he said.
"We are concerned about such behaviour and have taken the appropriate action in the circumstances."
Sorensen said Mulipola had had to deal with the consequences of his conduct through the court process, including meeting the person he assaulted.
Mulipola had recognised the issues he needed to address, and the union was prepared to support and assist him.
Sorensen said Mulipola had demonstrated genuine remorse for his actions and was deeply embarrassed about what he had done.
"He fully understands the seriousness of the events and in fact took the initiative to seek alcohol counselling," he said.
"He is committed to making amends and we are fully supportive of his desire to seek help.
Equally, we have made it clear to Lucky that there can be no repeat of such behaviour in being a professional rugby player."
The $1000 paid by Mulipola would go to charity.
Highlanders manager Greg O'Brien said Mulipola had already paid the fine, and the alcohol ban would be reviewed at the end of the season.
Counselling would run until the end of the year.
A decision on which schools he would visit had not yet been made.
O'Brien stopped short of saying Mulipola would be sacked if he was caught drinking again.
