How to apply for RSA online

A step by step guide

Are you looking to work in the hospitality industry in Australia?

Then you must obtain your RSA certification, mandatory for anyone serving or selling alcohol.

The Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) certificate demonstrates your knowledge of alcohol consumption regulations in Australia. It is a mandatory requirement for individuals seeking employment in the hospitality industry.

Required in all states, the RSA certificate can be obtained by completing a specific course. This certificate enables individuals to work in various establishments where alcohol is served or sold, including restaurants, bars, pubs, hotels, and bottle shops.

In this video, we will discuss a step-by-step guide on how to apply for your RSA online.

Step 1

Firstly, you must find a registered training organisation that provides online RSA courses. We recommend Galaxy Training Australia, a fully accredited training organisation with multiple offers for different states. The courses - SITHFAB021 Provide Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) offered by them are Nationally Accredited and Recognised.

Step 2

The next step is to sign up for their RSA course online, which is self-paced, so you can take breaks whenever you need to. With GTA, you can start a FREE trial and pay only when you like the course. The courses can be accessed on any device (mobile, tablet, laptop).

You will have access to easy-to-learn course content and assessment at the end of the course.

Step 3

You can download and print your Nationally Recognised Statement of Attainment after completing the course.

It’s that easy!

Plus, with Galaxy Training Australia, you have the added benefit of extended support hours. They also take pride in offering phone support without any extra charges.

Are you worried about the cost?

With GTA, you don’t need to worry about the cost.

For Tasmania, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory, and Victoria, the RSA online course will cost you $21.99 only. RSA Course NSW costs $139 (incl. $97 Competency Card Fee)— no extra charges.

Is the RSA certificate valid all over Australia?

  • For Tasmania, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Australian Capital Territory, and Northern Territory, you can start working with the RSA certificate you receive after completing the course.
  • For RSA Victoria, you must complete VCGLR’s online RSA bridging course for free to be recognised in Victoria.
  • For RSA NSW, you will receive an interim certificate. This certificate is valid for 90 days, and can start working immediately. To obtain your digital and physical NSW photo competency card, bring your interim certificate and 100 points of identification to an NSW Service Centre.

And that’s it!

With your RSA certificate/Competency card, you are eligible to work in the hospitality industry.
