Who needs a Responsible Service of Alcohol RSA

Who Needs A Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) Course?

The Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) course is essential for individuals who work in the hospitality industry and are involved in the service or sale of alcohol. Here is a list of people who typically need an RSA certification:

  • Bartenders
  • Waitstaff and servers
  • Hotel staff
  • Restaurant staff
  • Baristas and coffee shop employees serving alcoholic beverages
  • Liquor store and bottle shop employees
  • Event and catering staff involved in serving alcohol
  • Security personnel working in venues that serve alcohol
  • Venue managers and supervisors
  • Owners of licensed establishments
  • Mobile bartenders and freelance hospitality workers
  • Casino staff involved in serving alcohol
  • Cruise ship staff serving alcoholic beverages
  • Staff working in wineries, breweries, and distilleries offering tastings or sales on-site
  • Function and event coordinators engaged in organising events with alcohol service.
In all states of Australia, it is a legal requirement for anyone working in these roles - serving, selling or supplying alcohol - to hold a valid RSA certificate. 

This certification ensures that individuals understand the responsible service and consumption of alcohol and the relevant laws and regulations pertaining to alcohol sales.

Additionally, some establishments may require all employees, regardless of their specific roles, to complete an RSA course as part of their onboarding process. This ensures that everyone within the organisation consistently understands responsible alcohol service and can contribute to maintaining a safe and compliant environment.

Moreover, it is not just employees who may benefit from an RSA course. Business owners, managers, and supervisors within the hospitality industry can also benefit from completing an RSA course. It equips them with the knowledge and skills to create and maintain a responsible and safe alcohol service environment within their establishments.
