Responsible practices must be undertaken wherever alcohol is sold or served, including where alcohol samples are served during on-site product tastings. This unit, therefore, applies to any workplace where alcohol is sold or served, including all types of hospitality venues, packaged liquor outlets and wineries, breweries and distilleries. The unit applies to all levels of sales personnel involved in the sale, service and promotional service of alcohol in licensed premises. Those selling or serving alcohol may include food and beverage attendants; packaged liquor sales persons selling in person, over the phone or online; winery, brewery and distillery cellar door staff; and supplier sales representatives. The unit also applies to security staff who monitor customer behaviour and to the licensee who is ultimately responsible for responsible service of alcohol (RSA) management. RSA training may also need to be completed by other staff who have alcohol service responsibilities, such as:
  • Volunteers
  • Promotional staff
  • Contract employees
  • Directors of registered clubs
Responsible gambling services must be provided wherever gambling activities are undertaken. In the hospitality industry, the gambling environment is usually referred to as the gaming area and is provided in a range of venues, such as hotels, motels, clubs, pubs and casinos. Responsible provision of gambling services is an essential underpinning skill for all hospitality personnel, especially for those staff involved in the direct sale and service of gambling activities in licensed premises. This includes:
  • The licensee
  • Gaming supervisors
  • Gaming managers
  • Gaming employees
