G'day. Let me introduce you to Responsible Service of Alcohol, or as it is commonly known, RSA. You’ll have to complete this course if you want to work in licensed premises where alcohol is sold or served.

Responsible service of alcohol has been part of the State’s liquor laws for nearly 100 years; RSA is not new! Governments have always recognised that alcohol can have a negative impact on the community. As a result the sale of alcohol is controlled and regulated by law. You need to know your legal responsibilities if you are going to work in the sale or supply of alcohol.

The course consists of four topics, and you will need to work through each to develop an understanding of RSA, and the skills to put RSA strategies into practice.

You’ll hear from industry experts who’ll give you first-hand experience on how they implement and follow RSA laws.

There is a lot to learn so let’s begin!

There are four topics you need to complete:

  1. Introduction to RSA

  2. RSA legislation

  3. Impact of alcohol

  4. RSA strategies.

Your learning will involve reading, listening to industry experts, and watching video role plays that show you best practice in RSA strategies.
