The Australian and State Governments have introduced licensing laws for those that are involved in selling, supplying and serving alcohol. This aims to ensure that those that own, manage and work in licensed  venues have the skills and knowledge to deal with people who are consuming alcohol. The RSA Tafe course allows staff to serve alcohol in licensed premises, without the certificate people caught serving alcohol can face fines from the government.
